Meet Anita
Eyelids (Blepharoplasty)

"I didn't want to look like my mother when I'm 65," says Anita. She knew that people tend to age around the eyes. With age, the field of vision can become so restricted that the ability to see is affected. At this point in her life, Anita was more concerned about her appearance.

At barely 50, Anita could see where heredity was taking her. Looking a lot like her mother meant she would undoubtedly inherit her mother's drooping eyelids. She wanted a more youthful look, so she researched a simple procedure – blepharoplasty.

Anita explains: "The surgeon takes out a wedge of skin on the upper eyelid to remove bagginess, puffiness and overhang. On the lower lid there are fat pads that aren't so much baggy as puffy. Here the surgeon makes a little incision and simply removes a portion of the tissue. As with any surgery, there is bruising and swelling, but normally, within 5 – 7 days, the stitches are out and you are back to work.

Meet Barbara
Brow Lift

A young woman only in her 30s, Barbara suddenly found herself a widow with a tiny baby to care for. When she looked in the mirror she felt her troubles showed on her face.

"My forehead was wrinkled and my eyes were drooping," says Barbara. She wanted to look less tired and weary and felt it was time to get on with her life.

"Even though I was nervous and scared, I knew the positive change would be worth it," says Barbara. Her doctor at Akron Plastic Surgeons explained her options. One approach to a brow lift leaves the scar hidden in the hair. The endoscopic approach has a series of small incisions at the hairline. These are options you will discuss at your consultation visit.

"I have absolutely no regrets," says Barbara. Seven years later she says she is still reaping the benefits of looking younger without any deep lines. "The procedure really gave me a boost and helped me get back into the dating scene."

"People think I get BOTOX® injections," says Barbara. She couldn't be happier with the results.

Doctor's Note: BOTOX® injections are a helpful substitute for surgery. People may want a temporary fix for that special occasion or they may not have the time to recuperate.
