EYELID REJUVENATION WITHOUT VISIBLE SCARS

 

In the experience of Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra, taking upper eyelid skin generates in most patients a drop in the eyebrows, creating a sad, tired and aged look.

Removing skin and leaving scars on the lower eyelids produces in many patients functional and unsightly deformations.

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra developed in 1995 a technique that rejuvenates the eyelids using laser technology, which does not leave scars, does not remove skin and avoids the unnatural results and complications of conventional surgeries.

Patients from all over the world travel to Argentina to undergo surgery with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.

• More information about Eyelid Surgery without scars.

The advantages of Ultraformer or Laser assisted eyelid surgery are as follows:

1. Leaves no scars.
2. Always natural result.
3. It does not damage muscle structures like the conventional technique does.
4. Ultrasound technology and Carbon Dioxide Laser rejuvenate all the skin on the eyelids.
5. It produces less edema.
6. It produces less bruising.
7. Quick reintegration into work.
8. It does not lower the eyebrow as the conventional technique does.
9. It improves the expression of the gaze.

Clinical picture:
Aged eyelids show the following signs:

1) Excess and descent of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids
2) Protrusion of fat bags
3) wrinkles
4) stains
5) Dark circles

All this gives the face a tired and aged appearance.

E-Ultrasound and laser-assisted eyelid surgery seeks to recover a fresh, rested, natural, youthful look without removing skin and leaving no visible scars.

 

Treatment: Laser-Assisted Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

It consists of removing the bags from the lower eyelids through an incision in the conjunctiva, and that of the upper eyelids through a small incision in the internal angle of the upper eyelid, which does not require suturing. Skin rejuvenation is performed with a micro fractionated carbon dioxide laser (Firexel) that has a skin analyzer that allows us to tailor the parameter to each skin type. Transconjunctival laser-assisted blepharoplasty does not dry out the skin and avoids many of the unwanted effects seen with the conventional technique. Transconjunctival laser-assisted blepharoplasty rejuvenates, preserving the normal anatomy of the eyelids, leaving a fresh, natural look without surgical stigma.

 

Anesthesia: The surgery is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. The patient wakes up immediately after completing the procedure and retires to his home a few hours later.

The duration of the procedure is approximately 30 minutes. Surgery and postoperative are not painful. This surgery, in addition to leaving no visible scars, produces less edema and bruising than traditional eyelid surgery.

Today we also use Ultrasound to tighten the skin of the eyelids and the rest of the face, neck and décolleté.

Return to normal activities:

 

• You can resume normal activities the day after surgery.
• You can resume physical activities, such as running or yoga, one week after surgery.
• You can resume intense fitness activities such as weights or high-impact cardiovascular exercise 4 weeks after surgery.

 

Advantages of skin rejuvenation with carbon dioxide laser.
1) Conventional eyelid surgery is based on the resection of a very small portion of eyelid skin while the rest is left untreated.
2) The Firexel Micro Fractional Dioxide Laser allows a comprehensive rejuvenation of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids and, if necessary, the rest of the face in the same operative act.

 

How the carbon dioxide laser works on tissues.
The light energy of Firexel removes the superficial layers of the skin aged by sun damage and over the years. On the surface of the skin it eliminates spots, dark circles and wrinkles. In the depth of the tissue it produces a heating and stimulation of the elastic and collagen fibers, producing a tightening effect on the skin.

Carbon Dioxide Laser-assisted eyelid surgery requires a new type of operator training.
Hoogstra Medical Centers offers refresher courses to national and foreign doctors who want to enter this field.

Alternative procedures for the rejuvenation of the eye and its contour.
Sometimes, excess skin on the upper eyelid is the result of drooping eyebrows, in which case the indication could be the use of botulinum toxin or a Endoscopic lift of the forehead, nose and eyebrows.
