I’m genuinely fascinated to see what will happen to all these influencers and celebrities who are getting constant procedures and ‘tweakments’ in the next few decades as they age.

Yes because I want to see how getting all these actually very serious changes made will affect how their faces look as they age but also because I am starting to believe that there will be some very real negative consequences when it comes to their actual health.

Someone mentioned to me that their father was an ophthalmologist who regularly performs blepharoplasty procedures (or an eye lift) on older patients whose skin sag around their eyes was interfering with their vision. This was in the context of Ariana Grande getting her, uh…..new look, a while ago (think the race change, Asian bait jokes, especially focused on the change in her eyes). Her father was horrified that someone in their late 20’s at the time would be getting this procedure.

The younger you are when you get something done, the more maintenance will need to be done throughout your life to maintain the ‘look’. So getting an eye lift so young with no real medical reason means you will have to get that procedure redone periodically to maintain it. He said the likelihood that something will become misaligned within the eye structure is high, and very possible that as they age their upper and lower eyelids will no longer align properly leading to chronic dry eye and other complications.

That’s just one procedure too. What about the 19 year olds getting ‘preventative Botox’ (do NOT do this btw), what about the overfilling of skin, what about the constant pulling and stretching of skin with brow lifts and face lifts and every other kind of lift (does it get thinner?? More fragile over time?). Whats going to be the long term health consequences of all this??

If you’re someone with knowledge about this please share with me, I’m genuinely very interested and would like to know more.

#this is so much longer than I meant for it to be #but I actually think this is all very interesting #if also very very sad #plastic surgery #celebrity #ariana grande #kim kardashian #taylor swift #health

Hi Bunny! Aside from being a fantastic author, it blows my mind that you're also a plastic surgeon!!

Can you share any of your favorite beauty procedures tho 👀 I think you have mentioned Botox once, anything else??

Well hi sweet baby 😊🤍 you woke up and chose the make bunny blush adventure today. I love talking cosmo.

Lets talk surgery things, yes?

Upper lid blepharoplasty: think upper eyelid lift for excess skin. Can be both functional and cosmetic. We use teeny tiny instruments and suture because eyes swell like a tsunami, outcomes are gorg

Endoscopic Brow lift: Similar as above but gives patients a sharper angle up on the anterolateral 2/3rds of the brow. Takes a 10 and makes them a 15.

RHINOPLASTY: may be my second favorite surgical case EVER. Demands an artistic eye and insane knowledge about facial anatomic subunits, facial congruence, etc. think navy seals of facial procedures:

Breast Augmentation:…not gonna lie, picking the implant in the OR is a BLAST 😭

Non surgical: Every plastic surgeon was born knowing how to inject botox and fillers with their eyes closed 😂 We live, breathe, eat, sleep the facial anatomy. Im biased but we have the slickest hands when it comes to knowing how much/where to place the injections (i.e. dont inject my corrugators if i want my transverse forehead wrinkles gone, inject the frontalis).

Thanks for digging into my brain this AM my love, besos 💋

This article was first published in Russian by the Siberia-based outlet People of Baikal. The following translation appeared in The Beet, a weekly email dispatch from Meduza in English covering Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Sign up here to get the next issue delivered directly to your inbox.

“Don’t close your eyes! I told you: If you close them, I’ll stop doing the operation and send you home!” the surgeon hissed.

It was 2009, and Natalya Badmayeva was lying on an operating table at the Republican Clinical Hospital in Ulan-Ude. She tried her best to stop trembling and keep her eyes open. After the surgeon made the last stitch, she told Natalya she could get up and go home. In the corridor, other patients were waiting their turn to go under the knife.

Natalya, then a 20-year-old lawyer, had undergone eyelid surgery on her lunch break. “The operation took place clandestinely. I actually shouldn’t have been in that operating room,” she explained. “The surgery was over in half an hour.”

Natalya put on a pair of dark glasses and went straight from the hospital to visit a client. At the pre-trial detention center entrance, she showed the duty officer her ID. “What did you get done? Your dabharyashki?” asked the officer, nodding knowingly.

The term dabharyashka (from the Buryat word dabharyaa, which literally means “fold”) refers to the skin fold of the upper eyelid. Apparently, the officer had seen Natalya’s stitches through her sunglasses. She was one of the first people in Buryatia to have surgery to change the shape of her eyes. Three years later, she had another operation to make them even wider.

The names of some of the people in this story have been changed at their request.

Scalpels, needles, and glue

Many people of Asian descent are born with monolids — an eyelid shape that doesn’t have a crease. And some people go to great lengths to create this skin fold and widen their eyes. For those who undergo plastic surgery, the operation typically involves an incision along the upper eyelid, the removal of “excess” skin and fat, and the application of sutures to create an “eye-opening” crease (also known as a “double eyelid”).

Blepharoplasty — the medical term for eyelid surgery — is the third most common plastic surgery procedure in the world, after breast augmentation and liposuction. With nearly half a million surgical procedures annually, Russia ranks ninth globally for the total number of plastic surgeries. But for eyelid surgery, Russia is in third place, with more than 92,000 operations in 2020 alone.

Researchers in Russia note that the further east a region is from Moscow, the more eyelid surgeries are performed there. In Ulan-Ude — the regional capital of Buryatia, with a population of just over 400,000 people — there are about 10 clinics that offer this procedure for prices ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles (about $225 to $335).

Then there are the companies that offer “medical tours” to neighboring Mongolia. These packages cover a round-trip bus ticket from Ulan-Ude to Ulaanbaatar, the operation itself, and an interpreter’s services. One popular clinic in Ulaanbaatar offered eyelid surgery for just 18,500 rubles ($210). By comparison, a local Korean clinic charged around 160,000 rubles (about $1,800). Performers, entrepreneurs, and officials who want to get their eyelids done usually travel to South Korea, where the procedure costs anywhere from $1,800 to $3,000.

Other people try to alter their eyelids themselves — using a needle or a sharpened pencil to damage the delicate skin, hoping that the scarring will form a crease over time. Alternative, less painful methods include using eyelid glue or adhesive tape to create a “double eyelid” temporarily.

Natalya Badmayeva’s mother, Tamara, used a sharpened pencil to break the skin along her own upper eyelids; when the scratches healed, they formed a crease. Natalya would later try to replicate this procedure herself but found it too painful. “I realized that I wouldn’t be able to ‘draw’ a deep enough cut, and so I didn’t keep doing it,” she recalled.

When Natalya was a teenager, her mother bought her eyelid glue, but Natalya found it uncomfortable to wear. “It feels heavy on your eyelid. If you use glue, you can feel how everything is being pulled together. If you use tape, it’s uncomfortable when you blink,” she said.

Tamara, who has since passed away, never explained why she gave herself eyelid creases or wanted her daughter to have them, too. “I didn’t want to look narrow-eyed. I wanted to look wide-eyed,” Natalya said, explaining her own thinking. “In my youth, Buryats were [considered] village people. Narrow-eyed, swarthy, uneducated, Buryat-speaking — this was the image I was trying to escape. I specifically didn’t learn to speak Buryat and had my eyelids done twice.”

‘No one told me to my face’

Several sources told People of Baikal that, as children, they dreamed of being ethnically Russian; when their family members spoke their native language, they felt embarrassed and pretended they couldn’t understand them.

Natalya remembers encountering aggression due to her appearance when she left Buryatia for the first time at age 18. She and her friends were waiting in line at a food stand in Novosibirsk when some old ladies started harassing them. “These old ladies said, ‘Who are you? We don’t go to your country!’ and they pushed us out of the line. We told them we’re from Buryatia, which is part of Russia. We’re citizens of the Russian Federation, just like them. But the old ladies didn’t believe us,” Natalya said.

Ivan Romanov, 38, moved from Ulan-Ude to Moscow in 2012. A dentist by training, he spent a year applying for jobs in the capital. However, he found that some dental clinics — including ones at public hospitals — would post job ads explicitly seeking “Slavic” physicians.

Even clinics that didn’t have this requirement wouldn’t hire Ivan. Having a Russian name and surname was often enough to get him an interview, but they never called him back. All his classmates soon found jobs, but he remained unemployed. “I didn’t understand what was happening. I’d go home, cry because I felt powerless, and get angry,” Ivan recalled. “No one told me to my face that they wouldn’t hire me because I’m Buryat, but the logic was clear.”

Ivan took screenshots of the job ads from public clinics looking to hire “Slavic” doctors and wrote a complaint to the Russian Health Ministry. In response, ministry officials told him that government institutions don’t place such ads and suggested that the postings had appeared on the website “due to a technical glitch.” (At the same time, they acknowledged that such ads are common among private clinics.)

Ivan believes his dental career didn’t take off because of his appearance. After a year of unsuccessfully trying to land a job in his field, he began working for a company in Moscow selling medical equipment. Today, he runs his own business.

At 35, Ivan had eyelid surgery to make himself look “European.” A surgeon at a Moscow clinic reshaped his eyelids, creating creases and removing the epicanthus — a skin fold stretching from the upper eyelid, covering the eye’s inner corner. Ivan had dreamed of this since his youth.

No shortage of insults

The discourse around Asian people’s appearance inevitably leads to a discussion about “narrow eyes,” notes Erzhen Erdeni, a Buryat anti-colonial activist and researcher from the Siberian city of Irkutsk. “The expression ‘narrow eyes’ makes my blood boil,” she said. “Asian eyes can be considered narrow only if they’re compared with European eyes, which are taken as the standard.”

“Russian speakers have come up with no shortage of insults for Asian eyes,” added Erzhen.

The activist still remembers the first time she was insulted over her appearance. She was seven years old and walking to school alone in Irkutsk when a group of boys started throwing rocks at her and calling her names.

People who don’t look “European” encounter racism everywhere in Russia, Erzhen said. After she moved to Moscow to study, for example, uniformed officers stopped her every two weeks or so, asking to see her documents, fishing for bribes, and threatening to take her to the police station. “I could walk with a Slavic-looking friend, and she wouldn’t get asked any questions. But I was stopped all the time — it could happen anywhere,” said Erzhen, who now lives in Tbilisi, Georgia. “I developed a persistent fear of people in uniform that I carry with me to this day. Every time I see a man in a uniform in Russia, my heart sinks, and the anxiety kicks in.”

According to the SOVA Center, which monitors extremism and hate crimes in Russia, there was a spike in racially motivated attacks in 2023. Researchers recorded at least 60 violent acts last year — up from nine in 2022. In at least 21 of these cases, the attackers targeted people whom they perceived as “Asian.”

SOVA Center director Alexander Verkhovsky said that while anyone who “looks different” can fall victim to a hate crime in Russia, people of “conventionally Asian appearance” are targeted most often. This includes not only Central Asians but also people indigenous to Russia, such as Buryats, Tyvans, and Kalmyks. “The attacker isn’t asking to see a passport; he’s looking at facial features,” Verkhovsky underscored.

“If you’re a person of ‘non-Slavic’ appearance in any public place [...] you always have to be on guard. An insult could come your way at any moment,” said Buryat journalist Aleksandra Garmazhapova. “Any old conflict could end with the phrase: ‘Go back to China!’”

Garmazhapova moved to St. Petersburg with her family at age six. She got involved in political activism in 2005 after far-right extremists murdered 20-year-old anti-fascist activist Timur Kacharava in the city center. She left Russia eight years ago and now heads the Free Buryatia Foundation.

The Sova Center’s researchers attribute the surge in racially motivated violence in 2023 to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. “War inevitably brings about an increase in aggression in society. Legitimizing aggression is a side effect of war,” Verkhovsky explained.

‘Why am I hurting myself a second time?’

Valentina Radnayeva, the head of the ophthalmology department at the Children’s Hospital in Ulan-Ude, said that people of all ages come in for eyelid surgery. It’s the most common cosmetic procedure in Buryatia, and the hospital accepts not only locals but also patients from Tyva, Khakassia, Altai, and other republics across Russia. “For young people, we don’t remove skin [from the upper eyelid]; we just form a fold. And it turns out beautifully!” the surgeon said with a smile.

Enkhmaa, a surgeon at a clinic in Ulaanbaatar that patients on medical tours from Ulan-Ude often visit, claimed that eyelid surgery makes people “more beautiful” and more self-confident. She operates on patients 12 and up, so long as minors have parental consent. According to Enkhmaa, there hasn’t been a single case in her 20 years of experience where a patient regretted making their eyes wider (she said that the most common complaints have to do with side effects.) “This surgery changes people’s lives for the better,” the surgeon maintained.

Natalya, the lawyer from Ulan-Ude, said that she also wanted to have “beautiful” eyes — and that’s why she opted for a second surgery. “I wasn’t satisfied with the results of the first operation. The shape of my eyes looked too natural. I wanted to see a difference. I wanted my eyes to be wider,” she explained.

Natalya’s first surgery, at the Republican Hospital in 2009, took place without a consultation and only cost three or four thousand rubles. For her second surgery, she saved up about 20,000 rubles and went to a private clinic. But somehow, she found it scarier. “I remember lying on the operating table and saying to myself, ‘Stupid me! Why am I hurting myself a second time?’ The doctor was polite, he explained everything, there was good anesthetic, but it was still unpleasant,” she recalled.

After the operation, Natalya remained under observation at the clinic for 30 or 40 minutes. Then, her brother picked her up and took her home. She was on maternity leave at the time, so she didn’t have to go back to work. Natalya says the bruises and swelling from the second surgery went away after a few weeks — but to this day, she remains sensitive to bright light.

“My friends don’t see a big difference between how I looked before and after the operation. But I think that I’ve changed,” Natalya said. “It’s possible that this is how I feel on the inside. I’ve lived with my eyelid folds longer than I lived without them. I’m more comfortable this way.”

Ivan, the dentist, paid 85,000 rubles (more than $950) to go under the knife in Moscow in 2020. “I was conscious, under local anesthesia, and I heard everything the doctor said. He explained what was happening in detail and commented, ‘You were right to get the surgery. You have a large accumulation of fat, and it weighs down your eyelids. It makes you seem sad. We’re going to correct it now, and you’ll look just great!’”

However, Ivan wasn’t happy with the end result. “I went through every circle of hell. It took a long time for everything to heal. I spent a lot of money to remove the scars left over from the stitches. Moreover, the surgeon didn’t stitch the skin of the upper eyelid on one eye properly,” he complained. “My life didn’t change at all. People who know me well noticed that something was different, but it’s usually difficult for them to say what exactly.”

‘At least you can influence how you look’

Anna Tsyrenova, a 38-year-oldfrom Ulan-Ude, was surprised when she recently learned that all her friends her own age had undergone eyelid surgery by the time they were 20. “Many people hide the fact that they’ve had this surgery. It’s such a sensitive topic that even friends don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “When I finally started asking around, they said they had their eyelids done to look more kempt.”

Anna says it never occurred to her to have eyelid surgery. And she rejects the notion that she has experienced discrimination in Russia — even though she’s been mistaken for a tourist, told that she “speaks Russian well,” and stopped by police officers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. “I don’t judge people who’ve gone to the plastic surgeon and made their eyes wider. I just don’t understand them,” she said.

According to social scientist Maria Vyatchina, plastic surgery can give patients a sense of control over their own lives — even when they feel powerless to influence the world around them. “There are things you cannot change, but you can at least influence how you look. This gives you a sense of agency,” she explained.

The development of new medical technologies is another powerful driver behind the popularity of plastic surgery, making it less risky, less painful, and cheaper. Indeed, certain surgeries are becoming more accessible and even “fashionable,” with trends transcending borders. For example, the eyelid surgery industry in Russia and Mongolia is heavily influenced by South Korea, which, in turn, is largely guided by standards adopted in Japan.

Vyatchina also pointed to the work of anthropologists Sara Lenehan and Carmen Alvaro Jarrín, who found that the popularity of “nose jobs” in Iran and Brazil reflects shifts in how people signal their wealth and aspirations of upward mobility. The same is true in Russia, where poverty, a lack of social mobility, and patriarchal norms make one’s appearance a type of social currency.

In this context, what eye shape is considered “beautiful” is directly related to popular attitudes. But, as Vyatchina underscored, beauty standards are far from neutral or implicit — on the contrary, they’re politically charged. “Racism and xenophobia take different forms, including defining dominant beauty standards that leave no room for acceptance and discussing diversity,” she said. “There is so much racism in Russian society.”

‘Don’t become the dragon’

In the spring of 2022, Free Buryatia Foundation president Aleksandra Garmazhapova launched a campaign for the “Denazification of Russia.” On Instagram, she asked her followers to share stories of their encounters with racism and xenophobia. Over the next three weeks, she received some 4,000 testimonies.

The responses show that even indigenous people who resemble ethnic Russians — including Udmurt, Chuvash, and other peoples — have to contend with racism in Russia. People recounted how, from childhood, they were censured for speaking their native language. One person said he had internalized the idea that it was “shameful” to be Mari. The campaign received countless emotional accounts: many people had never had the opportunity to talk openly about racism, while others had previously failed to recognize that what they experienced constitutes discrimination.

The Russian language often lacks the terminology for discussions about racism and xenophobia. During her interview, Garmazhapova drew attention to how she sometimes slipped into using “not just literal translations but English terms.” Yet, Vyatchina says it’s still important to use these words, even if they seem complex or incomprehensible. Researchers believe that terms more suitable to Russian realities will emerge when Russian society begins to discuss racism actively.

At the same time, Garmazhapova warned against going to rhetorical extremes, which she believes are just as harmful as not discussing racism at all. “The media, activists, and everyone else must work to avoid becoming xenophobes like Vladimir Putin. When fighting a dragon, you cannot become that same dragon yourself,” she said. “We must make every effort to fight narratives of hatred, racism, and xenophobia and not to end up producing the same ideas, just in a different sauce.”

Now a mother of two, Natalya says she fears for her son and daughter because they are Buryat and feels the need to protect them from harmful stereotypes. “I understand the attitude the world has developed towards Buryats. The word ‘Buryat’ has become a symbol of savagery and cruelty. People need someone to hate, to take out their anger on. It will be difficult to rehabilitate this general perception and attitude,” she said.

Natalya remembers how her own mother cared for her, buying her eyelid glue and encouraging her to get “folds.” Assuming her children would share her own insecurities, she tried to take the same approach with them. “I thought, Why don’t I tape my six-year-old daughter’s [eyelids],” Natalya said. “Thank God my child has a brain! She ran around a little and then took off the strips [of tape] I had stuck on her. She thinks she’s beautiful the way she is. She has insecurities, but they have nothing to do with the shape of her eyes.”

Myocardial ischemia due to oculocardiac reflex in patient with myocardial hypertrophy undergoing upper blepharoplasty by Andrew Albokrinov in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is caused by pressure or traction of intraorbital structures and results in bradycardia. Patients with myocardial hypertrophy can suffer myocardial ischemia due to reduced coronary vascular reserve. In this case report we describe patient who developed myocardial ischemia as a result of OCR induced by traction of intraorbital soft tissue structures during upper blepharoplasty.

Keywords: Oculocardiac reflex, Myocardial ischemia, Myocardial hypertrophy

Introduction

The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a reflex afferent limb of which is trigeminal nerve and efferent limb is vagus nerve. OCR is usually caused by pressure on the oculus, traction of ocular muscles, or traction of the conjunctiva resulting in bradycardia and hemodynamic compromise in severe cases [1].

The incidence of OCR in eyelid surgery ranges between 20 and 25% [2, 3].

Patients with myocardial hypertrophy are prone to myocardial ischemia due to mismatch of myocardial mass and its vascularization or reduced coronary vascular reserve [4]. The incidence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing cosmetic surgery is unknown.

Treatment of OCR includes immediate cessation of the stimuli and atropine administration [1].

Case report

A 52-year-old female patient with no history of angina pectoris, normal physical exercise tolerance (>6 MET), normal ECG had upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia. From her history was known that she had apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with no clinical manifestation.

Ten minutes after beginning of surgery during traction of medial hernia sac (Figure 1) patient felt bad and complained of severe retrosternal burning pain radiating to left hand. Standard monitoring (2-lead ECG, NIBP, SpO2) was set up and showed severe sinus bradycardia and hypotension (HR 32 bpm, BP 65/28 mmHg) and ST segment depression >2 mm in V5 lead. Surgery was stopped. Treatment included epinephrine to restore normal HR and BP (4 boluses 10 mcg each) and then phenylephrine to restore diastolic BP and hence coronary perfusion pressure (3 boluses 25 mcg each). Acetylsalicylic acid 300 mg was administered to chew by patient. Twelve-lead ECG showed ST segment depression in leads V3-V5. Twelve minutes later normal HR and BP were achieved (MAP > 80 mm Hg) and ischemic ECG changes and patient’s complaints disappeared. Fentanyl 50 mcg was administered after stabilization. Additional local anesthesia of intraorbital soft tissue structures was advised and fulfilled by the surgeon. Then surgery was finished uneventfully. Troponin I (CITO Test) two hours after surgery was negative. Twelve-lead ECG two hours after surgery and next day were normal. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the next day.

Discussion

Treatment of OCR involves immediate cessation of the stimuli and atropine administration. In cases of hemodynamic depression epinephrine administration is needed [1].

In cases of myocardial ischemia and hypotension coronary perfusion pressure must be restored to break the vicious circle when hypotension leads to coronary hypoperfusion, which leads to myocardial ischemia and depression, which leads to hypotension. Besides, myocardial depression leads to increased left ventricle diastolic pressure, which decreases subendocardial circulation and worsens myocardial ischemia. So, in this case atropine was not considered as it does not act as a pressor and promptly enough to restore coronary perfusion pressure and normal circulation. We used epinephrine as the initial agent as it acts as a pressor and chronotropic agent. When HR established > 60/min, boluses of phenylephrine were used to achieve MAP > 80 mm Hg and not to provoke tachycardia.

Optimal intraoperative BP for noncardiac surgical patients remains controversial. But MAP 65 mm Hg is considered as a threshold for intervention [5]. Taking into consideration the fact that patients with reduced coronary vascular reserve can require higher coronary perfusion pressures we chose MAP 80 mm Hg as a hemodynamic target.

ECG changes showed apical (but not another) myocardial ischemia, which corresponded with zone of myocardial hypertrophy. This suggests that perfusion of hypertrophic myocardium is highly dependent on coronary perfusion pressure.

OCR prophylaxis includes premedication with atropine and retrobulbar block [1]. In this case surgery under local anesthesia was planned and no preoperative anesthesiologist’s consultation was obtained. Premedication by surgeon is impractical in our clinic. The practice and incidence of premedication by surgeon is not described in literature. Besides, premedication with atropine can lead to tachycardia and myocardial ischemia in cardiac patients [1], thus it should be used as a case-based approach. Retrobulbar block is not safe enough and is not used in this type of surgery [6].

Conclusion

Oculocardiac reflex can occur due to traction of intraorbital soft tissue structures. Patients with myocardial hypertrophy can develop myocardial ischemia due to oculocardiac reflex. Circulation in hypertrophic myocardium is highly dependent on coronary perfusion pressure.

Is Leyelid Lifting the Key to Oakville's Success?

Oakville, known for its picturesque lakefront and affluent neighborhoods, has long been a hub for beauty and wellness trends. Among these, eyelid lifting has emerged as one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, eyelid lifting Oakville helping Oakville residents maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance. But beyond aesthetics, the demand for eyelid lifting is indicative of deeper social and cultural trends. This guide explores how eyelid lifting became popular in Oakville, its benefits, the options available, and whether this cosmetic procedure is truly key to the town's beauty and wellness success.

1. The Rise of Eyelid Lifting in Oakville

In recent years, eyelid lifting, also known as blepharoplasty, has seen growing demand in Oakville. This surgical procedure, which targets the upper or lower eyelids, removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat to create a more youthful appearance. The trend aligns with Oakville’s affinity for quality lifestyle choices and wellness innovations, appealing to both younger individuals looking for subtle enhancements and older adults aiming to combat signs of aging.

Eyelid lifting has gained traction for several reasons:

Aesthetic Appeal: The eyes are central to facial expressions, so rejuvenating the eye area can significantly enhance overall appearance.

Professional and Social Impact: In a community where many are engaged in dynamic careers and social circles, maintaining a vibrant, youthful look is often valued.

Health Benefits: For some, the procedure isn’t just about appearance. Excess skin around the eyes can obstruct vision, making eyelid lifting a practical solution.

2. Why Eyelid Lifting Resonates with Oakville’s Lifestyle

Oakville is synonymous with refined living, and eyelid lifting complements this lifestyle. Here’s why it’s particularly suited to the Oakville community:

Natural, Subtle Results: Oakville’s residents often favor understated elegance. Eyelid lifting provides natural results that enhance rather than alter, creating an ideal solution for those seeking refinement over transformation.

High Quality of Care: Oakville has access to top-tier medical facilities and skilled professionals, ensuring that residents receive safe, expert care during cosmetic procedures.

Time-Efficiency: Many of Oakville’s residents are busy professionals and entrepreneurs. Eyelid lifting offers relatively quick results with minimal downtime, fitting well into a fast-paced lifestyle.

3. The Benefits of Eyelid Lifting: More Than Just Aesthetics

While cosmetic enhancement is a primary driver, eyelid lifting offers additional benefits that make it a well-rounded choice for Oakville residents. Here are some key advantages:

Improved Vision: For individuals with droopy upper eyelids, removing excess skin can alleviate vision issues, allowing for clearer sight.

Boosted Confidence: By rejuvenating the eye area, individuals often feel more confident in both personal and professional settings.

Enhanced Eye Comfort: Reducing excess skin and fat around the eyes can relieve discomfort or a sensation of “heaviness,” making it easier to stay active and alert.

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike many cosmetic treatments, which require frequent upkeep, the results of eyelid lifting can last for years, making it a cost-effective solution.

4. Types of Eyelid Lifting Procedures Available in Oakville

Eyelid lifting comes in several forms, and choosing the right option depends on individual needs and goals. Here’s a breakdown of popular procedures:

Upper Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid to create a refreshed, more open appearance. It’s ideal for those with sagging or drooping upper eyelids.

Lower Blepharoplasty: This procedure targets the lower eyelids to reduce puffiness and bags. It is especially popular among those who feel their under-eye area makes them look tired or aged.

Double Eyelid Surgery: Common in East Asian communities, this technique creates a crease in the upper eyelid for a larger, more defined eye appearance.

Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift: Using laser or radiofrequency, this option tightens skin without surgery. Though results are less dramatic than traditional eyelid lifting, it’s an attractive option for those seeking minimal invasiveness.

5. Preparing for the Procedure: What Oakville Residents Should Know

Preparation is key to a successful eyelid lift. Here’s what to consider when planning for the procedure:

Choose an Experienced Surgeon: Oakville has many skilled professionals, so researching credentials and patient reviews can help ensure you find a reliable provider.

Set Realistic Expectations: Eyelid lifting can greatly improve your appearance but doesn’t stop the aging process altogether. Understanding the limitations of the procedure can help set realistic goals.

Consider Downtime: While recovery times are relatively short, patients typically need a week or two of limited activity. Scheduling accordingly helps reduce disruptions.

Prepare for Aftercare: Follow post-surgery instructions to optimize healing and results. These may include using prescribed ointments, avoiding certain activities, and protecting the eyes from sun exposure.

6. How Eyelid Lifting Compares to Other Cosmetic Procedures in Oakville

Eyelid lifting offers unique benefits, but it’s not the only option for those seeking facial rejuvenation. Here’s how it compares to other popular procedures:

Botox and Fillers: While Botox and fillers can address fine lines and add volume, they don’t remove excess skin, making them less effective for significant eyelid sagging.

Facelifts: A facelift provides a comprehensive lift to multiple areas of the face. Eyelid lifting, on the other hand, is more targeted, focusing solely on the eye area, which makes it less invasive and generally less expensive.

Laser Resurfacing: Laser treatments can tighten skin around the eyes but are best for mild to moderate sagging. For more dramatic results, eyelid lifting may be the better choice.

7. Financial Considerations and ROI of Eyelid Lifting in Oakville

Investing in eyelid lifting may seem costly, but the benefits often justify the expense. Here’s why:

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike treatments that require frequent maintenance, eyelid lifting provides results that last for years, adding long-term value.

Health Insurance: For those experiencing vision issues due to drooping eyelids, some insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost. Consulting with a professional can clarify your options.

Enhanced Quality of Life: By boosting confidence and reducing discomfort, the procedure’s impact on well-being can be significant, making it a worthwhile investment for many.

8. The Future of Eyelid Lifting in Oakville

As cosmetic technology advances, eyelid lifting options continue to expand and improve. Innovations like scar-minimizing techniques and advanced laser-assisted methods make procedures safer and more efficient. With these ongoing improvements, the popularity of eyelid lifting in Oakville is likely to grow as residents continue to seek top-quality aesthetic and health outcomes.

9. Should You Consider Eyelid Lifting?

Eyelid lifting can be a valuable option for those looking to enhance their appearance, improve vision, or boost self-esteem. Oakville residents who prioritize refined, natural-looking results find this procedure aligns with their values and lifestyle. However, as with any cosmetic decision, careful consideration and consultation with a skilled professional are essential.

10. Conclusion: The Role of Eyelid Lifting in Oakville’s Wellness Landscape

Oakville’s success in the beauty and wellness industry can be attributed to a dedication to quality and innovation. Eyelid lifting has emerged as a staple within the community, offering a unique blend of aesthetic and practical benefits that align with the values of Oakville residents. With a well-informed approach, this procedure can be a transformative experience, embodying the sophisticated and vibrant spirit of Oakville.

Men and Plastic Surgery: What Are Guys Choosing?

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducts a survey each year, asking physicians across the United States to report on which procedures—both surgical and minimally invasive—they have been performing. The organization then takes the responses and synthesizes the data, creating a report that provides both a broad overview and a close look at trends. The data is organized in many ways, including by the most popular procedures for both women and men. Dr. Kevin Cross and Dr. Jackie Lyons offer plastic surgery in the Philadelphia area, and while their patient base is predominantly female, they have also been working with an increasing number of men.

If the numbers in the ASPS report are any indication, this is not a blip, but a trend.

First, take a look at the numbers: When it comes to plastic surgery, the clear winner is male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery. About 23,830 such procedures were performed in the United States in 2023—which represents a massive jump over the previous year. In all, plastic surgeons performed 88 percent more male breast reductions in 2023 than they did in 2022.

Just a bit behind gynecomastia surgery was liposuction, also known as surgical fat reduction. This procedure can be applied all over the body—including the chest, where it may be a part of male breast reduction. Liposuction is commonly performed on the belly, as well as the flanks (to get rid of love handles), the buttocks, and the upper arms. About 20,880 liposuction procedures were performed on men in 2023, representing a 6 percent increase over the prior year.

Next in line was blepharoplasty, more commonly referred to as eyelid surgery. This procedure is designed to address drooping upper lids to give the eyes a more open and alert appearance, as well as sagging lower lids to correct the pouches and other problems there. Plastic surgeons performed about 15,400 procedures on men in 2023, which was a bump of 12 percent from 2022.

Other popular procedures for men included rhinoplasty or cosmetic nose surgery (6,867, up 13 percent) facelift (5,796, up 6 percent), and abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery (4,109, up 2 percent).

While surgery provides dramatic results that can literally reshape body contours and make the face appear years younger, it is not the only option available. Minimally invasive treatments—like injectables and lasers—are also commonly available at plastic surgery offices, where they complement the results of surgery or can be performed on their own.

In 2023, the top 5 most commonly performed minimally invasive treatments for men were injections of BOTOX® and other wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulators (569,438, up 6 percent), laser skin treatments for unwanted hair, tattoos, visible veins, and more (487,349, up 15 percent), chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and other skin resurfacing treatments (242,600, up 7 percent), hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler injections (145,933, up 3 percent), and non-hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler injections, such as collagen-stimulating Sculptra® (105,705, up 2 percent).

What does this mean for the United States? Men certainly still have a long way to go before matching the data about women. Liposuction, for example, was performed about 326,900 times on women in 2023, up 7 percent from the year before. That’s more than 15 times the number of men choosing the procedure.

The number of BOTOX® injections made for women in 2023? More than 8.9 million, with a rise of 9 percent over the prior year.

That’s a lot of numbers, to be sure, but they do indicate at least one thing: Men are getting both surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, and they are doing so in increasing numbers.

In fact, since the ASPS survey includes data only from member surgeons, the counts are actually higher.

For more information about procedures for men—and anyone—talk to Cross Medical Group. Contact them online to arrange a consultation or call 215.561.9100 for the Philadelphia office and 610.688.9100 for the Villanova office.

Can Eyelid Surgery Improve Your Vision? Find Out!

Eyelid surgery, commonly referred to as blepharoplasty, is often thought of as a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing one’s appearance. However, many people are unaware that this surgery can have significant functional benefits as well. For individuals with drooping or sagging eyelids, the procedure can improve vision, making daily tasks much easier. If you have noticed that your field of vision is restricted due to excess skin on your upper eyelids, you may be wondering if eyelid surgery is the right solution for you. In this blog, we will explore how eyelid surgery from the best doctor for plastic surgery in Kolkata works, its potential to improve vision, and whether it's a suitable option for you.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Over time, aging can cause the skin around the eyes to droop, leading to vision impairment. The surgery tightens the skin, making the eyes look younger and more alert, while also potentially expanding your field of vision.

Can Eyelid Surgery Improve Vision?

Yes, eyelid surgery can improve vision for those whose drooping eyelids obstruct their line of sight. When the upper eyelid sags significantly, it can block peripheral vision, making daily activities like reading, driving, or simply walking hazardous. By removing the excess skin, blepharoplasty can help patients regain a full, clear field of vision. However, it's important to note that the surgery itself doesn’t correct vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. It only addresses visual impairment caused by drooping eyelids, known as "eyelid ptosis."

Who Is A Good Candidate For Eyelid Surgery?

If sagging or drooping eyelids are impacting your vision, you might be a good candidate for eyelid surgery. Often, people over the age of 40 experience this issue due to the natural aging process. However, some younger individuals with genetic predispositions can also benefit from the procedure. A consultation with the best plastic surgeon in Kolkata can help determine whether your vision issues are due to drooping eyelids and if eyelid surgery is the appropriate solution. In some cases, insurance may even cover the procedure if it's deemed medically necessary for vision improvement.

What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery?

Beyond improving vision, eyelid surgery offers several other benefits. These include:

Enhanced appearance: Removing excess skin makes the eyes look more youthful and refreshed.

Boosted confidence: Patients often feel better about their appearance after surgery.

Increased comfort: Tension in the eyes caused by drooping lids is often relieved.

Improved peripheral vision: This can make daily activities like driving safer and easier.

Is Eyelid Surgery Safe?

Eyelid surgery is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon. As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, scarring, and potential complications with anesthesia. However, with proper care and a skilled surgeon, these risks are minimal.

To wrap up, for those suffering from vision impairment due to sagging or drooping eyelids, eyelid surgery can be life-changing. It not only restores a youthful appearance but also offers the functional benefit of clearer vision. If you are considering eyelid surgery, consult with a professional to evaluate whether this procedure is right for you. If you want to learn more about how eyelid surgery can improve your vision, visit Dr. Anupam Golash, who runs the best cosmetic clinic in Kolkata. With his expertise, you can achieve both aesthetic and functional results from your eyelid surgery.
