Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses changes in the under-eye area.

Over time, fat can shift and skin can loosen, which may contribute to puffiness, shadows, lower eyelid bags, or a tired appearance. Lower blepharoplasty is designed to treat these changes by adjusting fat, tightening skin where appropriate, and improving the contour of the lower eyelid and lid-cheek junction.

Depending on the anatomy assessed, fat may be repositioned or removed, and skin may also be addressed as part of the procedure. In some patients, this can also improve the appearance of shadowing or darker discolouration around the lower eyelids.

Incisions are usually placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, depending on the surgical plan. The procedure may be performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthetic, depending on the approach and the individual case.

When patients ask whether they need an eyelid lift or a brow lift, the answer is not always straightforward.

Although these procedures are often discussed together, they address different areas. An eyelid lift works directly on the eyelids, usually by removing excess skin and, in some cases, adjusting deeper tissues. A brow lift addresses the brow and forehead region, where sagging can contribute to upper eyelid heaviness.

This distinction matters because what appears to be an eyelid concern may not always originate there. In some patients, brow sagging is a significant factor. In others, the main issue is excess upper eyelid skin. There are also cases where both areas may need to be considered together as part of the surgical plan.

Therefore, a proper assessment of the upper face is crucial. The aim is not simply to choose between two procedures, but to understand which structure is contributing most to the patient's concern.

Double eyelids are often discussed as though they are one single eyelid type. In reality, there is considerable variation in how they form and appear.

Indeed, there are many different upper eyelid patterns. These can vary in shape, depth, position, and dynamism, and those differences matter when assessing the Asian upper eyelid. Even where two eyelids may appear similar at first glance, the underlying structure and fold behaviour can be quite different.

This is one reason why Asian blepharoplasty is not a uniform procedure. Surgical planning needs to take into account the specific eyelid pattern, as well as how the fold sits and moves in relation to the rest of the upper eyelid anatomy.

Although blepharoplasty is a commonly performed procedure, surgery of the Asian upper eyelid involves a number of subtleties. A careful assessment of these nuances is an important part of planning an appropriate approach.

Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair
Pre- and Post-operative Images

These images illustrate the appearance before and after unilateral cleft lip repair.

Unilateral cleft lip repair is performed to restore lip continuity, re-approximate the underlying muscles, and improve the overall shape and balance of the upper lip and nose. In a unilateral cleft lip, the tissues on one side of the lip do not fuse correctly during development, affecting both appearance and function.

The procedure involves meticulous reconstruction of the lip components, with particular attention to muscle repair, lip height, symmetry, and the relationship between the lip and nasal base. This is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for lip function and long-term facial development.

Post-operative healing continues over time, and scar maturation and soft tissue settling may continue beyond the stage depicted here.

A common question during consultations is whether breast reduction surgery may affect the ability to breastfeed later in life.

The answer is that it can, but not always. During breast reduction surgery, some glandular tissue and milk ducts may be divided, depending on the technique used. In some patients, this may reduce milk supply. In others, breastfeeding may still be possible, either fully or partially.

The difficulty is that this cannot be predicted with certainty in advance. If future breastfeeding is important to you, this should be discussed before surgery. Surgical planning can sometimes take this into account, but preservation of breastfeeding function cannot be guaranteed.

This is an important consideration when weighing up breast reduction surgery. The aim is to clearly understand the possible trade-offs and make a decision that aligns with your priorities.

Mole assessment begins with careful observation.

Many moles are benign and remain stable over time. However, if a lesion changes in size, shape, colour, or surface texture, or begins to cause symptoms such as irritation or bleeding, it is important that it be assessed properly.

In clinical practice, the focus is not simply on a lesion's initial appearance, but on careful examination within the broader context. This includes its appearance, location, and history, as well as determining whether any further monitoring, investigation, or treatment may be appropriate.

This reflects a routine but important part of practice. Careful assessment comes first, because treatment decisions should always begin with an accurate diagnosis.

Lower Eyelid Surgery
4 Weeks Post-operative Images Following Right Lower Eyelid Canthoplasty for Epiphora and Ectropion

These images show the appearance of the lower eyelid four weeks after canthoplasty, performed to correct ectropion and epiphora.

Ectropion is the outward turning of the lower eyelid, which disrupts the normal position of the lid against the eye. This can interfere with tear distribution and drainage, contributing to symptoms such as irritation, dryness, and excessive watering.

Canthoplasty is performed to support and reposition the lower eyelid, improving lid apposition and restoring effective eyelid function. Surgical planning in this area must consider both function and eyelid support, as even small positional changes can affect comfort and ocular surface protection.

At four weeks, healing is still at an early stage. Swelling, scar maturation, and subtle tissue settling will continue to evolve over time.

Genioplasty is a surgical procedure used to alter the position or shape of the chin to improve overall facial balance and proportion.

It may be considered in patients with a recessed chin, chin asymmetry, or inadequate vertical chin length, particularly when the chin affects harmony between the lower face, jawline, and profile.

Genioplasty can be performed in different ways. In some cases, implant materials may be used for augmentation. In others, the chin bone itself is repositioned using osteotomy techniques to achieve the planned change.

The choice of technique depends on anatomical assessment, the nature of the concern, and the overall surgical plan. In most cases, incisions are placed inside the mouth, which helps avoid a visible external scar.

Sleep position is a small detail that can significantly affect early facelift recovery.

In the initial days and weeks following surgery, the focus is on protecting the face and neck while swelling and bruising subside. Patients are commonly advised to sleep on their back, with their head elevated, to help reduce pressure on healing tissues and avoid unnecessary tension around incision sites.

Sleeping on your side or stomach can place pressure on the surgical area, which is why these positions are usually avoided early on. Some patients find that using extra pillows, or even sleeping in a recliner for a short period, helps during the earlier stages of recovery.

Recovery advice should always be individualised. The specific guidance may depend on the procedure performed, the extent of the surgery, and the individual's healing progress.

If you are preparing for facelift surgery, understanding the recovery period is as important as understanding the procedure itself.
