Will my eyes look different after this cosmetic surgery?

FAQ: Cosmetic Surgery at TIA, Our Birmingham, London, Herefo...
Some patients find that their eyes seem to be shaped differently after blepharoplasty. However, this is to be expected to some extent. In other cases, the lower eyelid becomes weak and won’t support the weight of the eyelid. However, Mr. Vik Vijh will test for this before cosmetic surgery and if he sees it as a potential problem, he will let you know and tighten the lid during the operation.

Will my eyes look different after the surgery?

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma LASIK - FAQ
No, LASIK does not change the appearance of your eyes. It changes the way they bend light rays, by vaporizing tiny bits of the cornea. But this subtle change in the shape of your eyes is not visible to anyone looking at you.

What About Cosmetic Surgery?

s.s.tg FAQ: Transsexual & Transgenderist Issues
Aside from hair loss, which needs to be addressed by one means or another, cosmetic surgery is an area where patience is a virtue. Hormone therapy will have significant effects on the shape and contours of your face, enough so that you may not need as much surgery as you might think, if you end up needing any at all. The advice I was given was to wait for two years on hormones before making any decisions.

The FDA, while it regulates the safety and effectiveness of lasers used in laser eye procedures, does not regulate the marketing of or any fees associated with LASIK, or any other laser eye procedure. It is not uncommon to see a great variation in pricing from one laser eye practice to another. Pricing variations also occur geographically from one part of the country to another, and from one type of laser eye procedure to another.

Who is a good candidate for cosmetic surgery?

John K. Gunderson DDS
Do you like the look of your smile? If not, you may be a good candidate for cosmetic surgery. People with crooked teeth, discolored or stained teeth, or an uneven smile-all may wish to see immediate results with cosmetic dentistry. It's really for anyone who wants a straight, even, bright smile. Avoid strenuous activity during the first 24 hours after surgery. You'll likely experience some swelling for the first 48 hours. The initial healing period usually takes one to two weeks.

How long will it take to recover from my cosmetic surgery?

KASSMD
The time it will take for you to recover will depend on what type of surgery you have, and on a lot of other factors, including your overall health. In general, you can expect that you will be “socially presentable” in about 10 days. The bruises will fade over 1 to 3 weeks and the incisions in 1-2 months (but they are made in the natural creases of the face and may be indiscernible much sooner). Healing continues over the next 12 to 18 months.

Will my eyes close fully after eyelid surgery?

The eyes almost never close fully immediately after eyelid surgery. This is due to numerous reasons but almost always the eyes will close fully after a few weeks or months. During this time, it is very important to keep the eyes lubricated with artificial tear drops and tear ointments.

I have "dry eyes". Will this affect my LASIK surgery?

LASIK FAQ, LASER Eye Surgery FAQ
Many patients seeking refractive surgery do so because they have dry eyes and are unable to wear contact lenses anymore. It is important that your dry eyes be treated. This usually involves the use of tear supplements and punctum plugs (tiny silicone plugs placed in the tear drainage openings of your eyelid) that delay the drainage of your own tears so your eyes will stay moist.

You should not rub your eyes post-operatively - use artificial tears to relieve irritation.

I don't look as young as I feel. What's the best age to have cosmetic surgery?

Frequently Asked Questions about Cosmetic Surgery
The best age to have cosmetic surgery is when your aging face bothers you enough to correct it - when you don't look like you any more. Most of our patients are in their forties or fifties but we can perform it earlier if your face has aged enough. Or later. Ask yourself the magic question: Will I gain enough (improved appearance and increased self-esteem) for it to be worth the cost (time, money, risk and what your mother might say)? If your answer is, "yes", then do it now.

What are the cosmetic considerations with DBS surgery?

Movement Disorders Treatment - UCSF Department of Neurosurge...
Complete shaving of the head is not necessary for surgery. However, a significant patch of hair from on top of the head to behind an ear is shaved immediately before surgery when the patient is sedated. This results in a hairstyle that would be considered strange outside of San Francisco. Many patients elect to get a short haircut after surgery (must be at least 2 weeks afterwards) so that the hair grows in evenly. When hair grows back, incisions are not visible.
