Eyelift Technique is Critical with Eyelid Surgery in NJ

The Eyes Have It: Proper Technique is Crucial in Eyelid Surgery

According to the history books, the earliest documented cosmetic eyelid surgery dates back to the first century A.D.  Of course eyelid surgery techniques have come a long way since ancient times, and today’s advanced, precise techniques are producing outstanding results for eyelid surgery patients in New Jersey and New York.  Meticulous attention to detail and exacting technique are especially important for lower eyelift procedures because the anatomy of the lower eyelid is more complex than that of the upper eyelids, according to Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi, an accomplished cosmetic surgeon with offices in NJ and NYC.  The lower eyelids have three fat compartments, and it’s critical for your lower eyelift surgeon to know how much fat to remove, how much to preserve and how much to relocate within each of the fat compartments. If not enough fat is removed, there may be bulging and puffiness present.  If too much fat is removed, a hollowed look may result. 

When Dr. Asaadi performs lower eyelift surgery for patients in New York and New Jersey, he uses specialized techniques to produce the best results.  “It’s important that correction be customized for each patient’s specific needs,” Dr. Asaadi says.  Dr. Asaadi uses a special test he developed called the Lateral Pull Test to determine how to make the best corrections.  The Canthopexy technique tightens and stabilizes the deep layer behind the septal structures in the lower eyelids.  What’s more, a special procedure called a Septal Reset can help preserve the patient’s own fat, resetting the fat into a more youthful position, thus eliminating puffiness and bagginess, while avoiding a hollowed look.  The final result is a smooth and natural-looking transition between the lower eyelid and the cheekbone. 

Dr. Asaadi reminds patients, “When it comes to lower eyelift surgery, small details matter.  You must be meticulous and make the right adjustments in order to achieve great, natural looking results.”
