BOSTON EYELID SURGERY

Boston eyelid surgery is available at the practice of Dr. Gregory Gallico, a well respected plastic surgeon in Boston.

When we speak to each other, customarily we focus on the eyes. Having our eyes appear their best is the best way to enhance our looks. Bright, open eyes project an image of alertness and youth. Over time everyone's eyelids develop new skin and loose muscles which fall in folds and fat which pushes out the skin. This can cause us to look old and tired. This excess eyelid tissue and puffiness can be reduced by Boston eyelid surgery.

Boston Eyelid Surgery in Detail

Dr. Gallico performs Boston eyelid surgery through both internal (transconjunctival) and external approaches. This operation, because of the concealed scars, is suitable for both men and women.

Lower eyelid fullness or 'bags' can be reduced through an incision inside the lid, which leaves no visible scar (transconjunctival), or under the lashes (which allows tightening of the skin as well).

Extra upper eyelid skin and fullness can be reduced with direct excision. Sometimes a 'fallen' eyebrow will contribute to excess upper eyelid skin and needs elevation through a Brow or Forehead lift to enhance the upper eyelid appearance (coronal, endoscopic, or temple). Brow lift is also available here at Cosmetic Surgery of Boston.

Extra fat under the upper lid or brow, which causes puffiness, can be removed as well. And the muscle wrinkling of the skin between the eyebrows can be reduced by direct excision of the corrugator muscles or by Botox injection. At his Boston plastic surgery practice, Dr. Gallico has established the anatomic descriptions, which allow precise muscle reduction. Hollow areas over the cheeks may be filled by fat flaps from the lower lids, by cheek implants and by a mid-facelift.
