Blepharoplasty - Eyebrow Lift - Anti-Wrinkle Injections - Orbital Implants - Mohs Micrographic Surgery - Orbital Decompression - Eyelid Tumours - Lacrimal Drainage Surgery A blepharoplasty is an operation that removes excess loose folds of skin from the upper eyelids and 'bags' from the lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is performed for people who have droopy, overhanging eyelids that impair vision, cause frequent blinking and eye fatigue or look unsightly. It is also performed on people who have "puffy" lower eyelids that may look unsightly. Read more about blepharoplasty... A brow lift is an operation that raises eyebrows which have become droopy. The operation may be performed in isolation or in conjunction with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are very commonly used for the treatment of frown lines and unwanted facial wrinkles. Frown lines are caused by the involuntary contraction of the muscles between the eyebrows (this area is referred to as the glabella). It can also be used to improve the "laughter lines" around the eyes, and in some patients, horizontal creases in the forehead. When used to treat frown lines in the glabella it often causes a secondary lift of the eyebrows. Read more on BOTOX...

The main goal in the evaluation of these lesions is to differentiate malignant from benign lesions. In general, the majority of malignant tumours affecting the eyelids and surrounding areas are slowly enlarging, destructive lesions that distort or frankly destroy eyelid anatomy. Read more on eyelid tumours... Excessive tearing or the bothersome problem of tears overflowing down the cheek is called epiphora. This can have many different causes. A careful clinical examination is performed to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the cause e.g. if the lower eyelid is sagging away from the eye and causing epiphora, the treatment will be surgery designed to reposition the eyelid. Read more...
