Why Eyelid Surgery is Important?

-
Eyelid surgery is a common procedure performed for drooping upper eyelids. While the surgery is often performed to restore the more youthful appearance, there are many situations in which eyelid surgery is medically necessary to improve vision or function.
The condition of drooping upper eyelids can occur as a result of several different diagnoses, which may be treated differently. The most common diagnoses are dermatochalasis (excess eyelid skin), and blepharoptosis. 
Blepharoplasty is a surgery to remove excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids. This is different from blepharoptosis surgery, which usually involves tightening of the muscles that elevate the eyelid.

When is Eyelid Surgery Medically Necessary?

The most important factor in determining the medical necessity of eyelid surgery is based on subjective findings, or the patient’s symptoms. Typically a patient will already know if their eyelids are causing problems with their activities of daily living, such as trouble reading, driving, or causing eye strain or headache.
In addition to subjective findings, there are also objective findings that the treating physician typically records, such as eyelid measurements, photographs, and visual field testing. 
  • Margin reflex distance 1 (the distance between the edge of the eyelid and the center of the pupil) of 2mm or less.
  • Superior visual field loss of at least 12 degrees or 24%.
  • Down-gaze ptosis impairing reading or other close work activities.
  • Chin-up head tilt.
  • Symptoms of eye strain or discomfort.
  • Central visual interference due to upper eyelid position.
  • Patient self-reported functional impairment.

Cheek Glamorization India : DR Chytra V Anand

-
There is nothing more deflating than after a vacation and a good night’s sleep,   having someone say, ‘You look exhausted!!!’  As we age, we begin to look tired, even when we are not.  It’s not only the wrinkles that make us look tired and old,  but it’s also the creases, hollows and sagging skin on the cheeks  that thins with aging. Non-surgical cheek augmentation uses a synthetic facial  filler that restores lost cheek volume, which in turn lifts  the face up and pulls out the wrinkles . We begin life with a round face and baby cheeks , and often develop an  oval shaped face in our prime age.  But our lower face begins to broaden and the upper f ace  loses volume resulting in a more masculine, square, flatter shape. Cheek glamorization fills out sunken cheeks and changes  the contour of the face. Dermal Fillers physically restore  contours, and the micro-injury from the needle actually  stimulates your own collagen production,
