A revision surgery is a procedure whereby a previous surgery is redone.  This blog will deal with two revision surgery procedures: 1. Revision blepharoplasty surgery and 2. Revision canthoplasty surgery.  In particular I will focus on revision surgery in Newport Beach, Irvine and San Diego, California. The reason for this is because I see many patients from these areas for both revision blepahroplasty and revision canthoplasty surgery. A blepahroplasty is commonly referred to as an “eyelid lift,” and a canthoplasty surgery as a” lower eyelid tightening.”  These...

Canthoplasty surgery is a procedure whereby the lower lid is secured or tightened during blepharoplasty surgery or as a standalone procedure.   A canthoplasty can be a primary or first time surgery, or it can be a redo or a revision canthoplasty surgery.  Canthoplasty surgery whether primary or a revision is a complex surgical procedure which should only be performed by an eyelid specialist – an oculoplastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeon.  No other surgeon should perform canthoplasty or revision canthoplasty surgery.    

Ptosis repair surgery is a procedure whereby the eyelid muscle is tightened to lift its height, open the eye, and improve appearance and vision.  Ptosis surgery is a specialized form of eyelid surgery which is generally only performed by eyelid surgeons only.  These specialists are called oculoplastic surgeons or ophthalmic plastic surgeons.  They are accredited by the American Society of ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS).  Only an ASOPRS trained physician should perform your ptosis repair surgery. Ptosis repair surgery is different than...

Ptosis repair surgery is a procedure whereby the eyelid elevating muscle is tightened to lift the upper lid and open the eyes.  Ptosis repair surgery is a highly specialized form of surgery very different from blepharoplasty surgery (usually cosmetic eyelid surgery).  Ptosis repair surgery can be performed to improve field of vision or to improve appearance.  It is important to see an eyelid specialist (oculoplastic surgeon) before having ptosis repair surgery as complications from this form of eyelid surgery can be severe and impair vision and comfort. Also the...

Endoscopic Brow lift surgery is a procedure whereby the eyebrows are raised to a higher level.  The brow lift will often enhance blepharoplasty (eyelid) surgery outcomes.  There are many ways to raise the eyebrows, one of which is with endoscopic brow lift surgery.  Dr. Guy Massry is an oculoplastic surgeon practicing in Beverly Hills, California.  In Beverly Hills there is a high demand for endoscopic brow lift surgery as patients are very aware of the technology.  Consequently, many cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills have experience with endoscopic brow lift...

Ptosis surgery is a procedure in which the elevating muscle of the eyelid is tightened to lift the droopy lid to a higher position. This is like raising the shades which cover a window. It is different than blepharoplasty surgery in which redundant skin/muscle and/or fat are excised from the eyelid. Ptosis surgery opens the eye and blepharoplasty surgery lightens the load on the eyelid.  Both ptosis surgery and blepharoplasty surgery can enhance appearance and improve field of vision.  The main issue which arises is when a patient sees a surgeon for droopy lids,...

Blepharoplasty surgery involves removing redundant skin/muscle and fat from the eyelids.  Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve vision. Blapharoplasty surgery in men or “Male Blepharoplasty” is becoming more and more common.  The surgery is the same as that performed in women, but more conservative in nature.  The reason for this is that in male blepharoplasty surgery the goal is to reduce eyelid bags, but not too aggressively which tends to feminize appearance. Not all plastic surgeons have experience with male...

Cosmetic Surgeons in Beverly Hills see a tremendous number of patients who want blepharoplasty surgery.  This is because there is such a large amount of blepharoplasty surgery occurring in Beverly Hills, and because so many cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills perform blepharoplasty surgery.  One of the main complaints patients have with their eyelids for which they seek out blepharoplasty surgery, is ”lower lid (eyelid) bags.” Lower lid (eyelid) bags can result from redundant skin/muscle or fat.  They are often associated with depressions beneath the bags (we...

Blepharoplasty surgery (eyelid surgery) is a surgical procedure whereby skin/muscle and fat are removed from the upper or lower eyelids to improve appearance, or sometimes, in the case of upper blepharoplasty surgery, improve vision.  Beverly Hills is a city in which a tremendous amount of blepharoplasty surgery is performed because the patient population in Beverly Hills desires it, and because there are so many cosmetic blepharoplasty surgery physicians in Beverly Hills It is important to select the most experienced, best trained and most qualified surgeon to...

Eyelid surgery is a specialized form of cosmetic surgery.  Eyelid surgery can include blepharoplasty surgery (cosmetic eyelid surgery), ptosis surgery (eyelid surgery which lifts a droopy lid), canthoplasty surgery (eyelid surgery to tighten a lower lid) and other procedures.  Not every plastic surgeon performs all kinds of eyelid surgery.  Ophthalmic plastic surgeons (oculoplastic surgeons) are specialty trained in all forms of eyelid surgery.  These are board certified ophthalmologists with separate sub-specialty training in cosmetic surgery of the...
