  • UPPER EYELID LIFT OR LOWER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY.

    There are differences between upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty.  Each surgery has its inherent risks and complications.  There are various technical surgical components to either upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty.  Upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery relates to aeshetic surgery of the lid above the eyeball whereas lower eyelid surgery refers to aesthetic surgery of the lid below the eyeball.
    Combining both surgeries simultaneously, meaning performing both upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery at the same time in the same operation will increase the overall risks of surgery.

  • SKIN ONLY OR SKIN AND MUSCLE TISSUE REMOVAL?

    There are various surgical maneuvres pertaining to the eyelids.  Tissue removal depends on your goals of surgery, safety and realistic expectations.  It is imperative for you to have a thorough consultation with Dr Nara.


    Essentially, skin only removal removes only the top layer of the skin to give the eyelids are fuller appearance but with less saggy tissues.


    Skin removal with muscle would address bulky tissues of the eyelids.


    However, there are advantages and disadvantages for each surgical maneuvre which would be discussed at your consultation.  Simply book in for an appointment to find out more.
