When you realize that your gaze is increasingly dull and you begin to perceive the constant sensation of a tired eye, you tend to think that upper blepharoplasty can be the solution. But it might not be enough.

In many cases, in fact, blepharoplasty is combined with the correction of the eyelid ptosis for a more satisfactory result.

Many patients with a problem of eyelid folds also have a very slight ptosis, almost imperceptible but present. My job is to identify the problem and recommend surgery.

Tiziana had a drooping eyelid, which appeared seemingly swollen.

Thanks to upper blepharoplasty + ptosis correction, Tiziana’s gaze is now more expressive, her face appears fresher and more serene without changing its proportions.

“Non-verbal language also and above all communicates through the eyes”

A deep and decisive look: my perspective on the irresistible Hunter Eyes in the article by Alice Rosati published on Vanity Fair.

Paolo had the classic prey eyes, a round eye cut which absolutely didn’t reflect his own perception and the one he wanted to give others.

Through a targeted aesthetic treatment, Paolo achieved the aesthetic shape of the eyes he desired, providing him with an irresistible and magnetic look.

A minimally invasive surgery or a targeted aesthetic treatment can achieve the hunter eyes effect to a man’s gaze.

The innovations in aesthetic medicine make it possible to make improvements of eye imperfections through the use of the latest generation of hyaluronic acids, without blepharoplasty

To treat sunken eyes , small injections are made using an innovative technique that involves the use of a micro-cannula, in order to minimize the risk of bruising and making it painless.

The result is a rejuvenation of the eyes and face, following the proportions and ensuring naturalness and harmony to the appearance.

Debora had a poorly harmonious upper eyelid and she wanted to do an upper blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin.

After a careful analysis of her tissues and her face as a whole, I suggested a personalized treatment of her upper eyelids with hyaluronic acid-based filler.

The result was a rejuvenation of the gaze and face, which has restored naturalness and harmony to Debora.

When we talk about sunken eyes, the cause can be identified in the upper eyelid which does not have the due support provided by the adipose tissue.

Thanks to yaluronic acid fillers it is possible to rejuvenate upper eyelids, without surgery

Greta is another example of how the only blepharoplasty is not always enough to improve the gaze.
In fact, Greta also has a lowering of the upper eyelid of her right eye (palpebral ptosis) which gives her a tired and asymmetrical appearance.
In my experience, combining the correction of ptosis (drooping eyelid) with blepharoplasty means that the eyelid returns to its natural position, giving the patient an improved appearance to the gaze.

When I talk about overview, full face, Taylormade treatments and / or surgeries, I am referring to the importance of the overall analysis of the gaze and face of each patient.

The improvement of a blemish such as darkcircles, bagsundereyes or a lowered eyelid is often not enough to make your face fresh and toned as we wish.

For this reason I often propose to my patients surgical interventions combined with aesthetic treatments in different parts of the face, such as the filler lips.

Antonella had an important dark circle in the lower eyelids that gave her a tired look, difficult to cover even with make-up.

After a careful analysis of the periorbital area and the tissues, I performed a hyaluronic acid-based filler treatment with microcannula.
A quick, painless and effective treatment for the situation that Antonella presented.

The final result is highly visible respecting her expectations, the harmony of the eyes and the proportions of the entire face.

All the touch-ups for the eye contour according to my point of view:
you can find it here in the article published on 19 May 20121 in the vogueitalia magazine

Gian Paolo has very marked occhiaie that run along the entire lower eyelid.
This not only gave him an always tired appearance, but also gave him a sense of insecurity.

In this specific situation the dark circles cannot be eliminated. The filler treatment based on hyaluronic acid that I performed improved the dark halo of the eye by more than 70%.

Patients, especially men, do not ask for a distortion of the gaze, but simply for some effective “retouching” from an aesthetic point of view.

When did man decide he wants to resort to aesthetic “retouching”?
Basically when he does not find his personality, or when his imperfection does not make him feel confident and does not reflect it.

Generally they want interventions that do not soften the masculine features too much but aim to give depth to the gaze or to resolve any negative attributes in the gaze region.

Pietro had a lowering of the upper eyelid which gave him not only a sad and tired look, but also important difficulties in carrying out normal daily activities such as reading, working on the PC or simply watching TV.

That’s why he decided to have a ptosis surgery of the upper eyelid, an operation that improves the incisiveness and depth of the gaze both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.

The result?

An adequate correction of ptosis restores the normal position of the upper eyelids without altering the balance of the face.

Eyetransformation for me is not synonymous with distorting one’s gaze!
Indeed, various minimally invasive techniques allow me to naturally “transform” a gaze that has lost its incisiveness.

How?

First of all, starting from the detail (the shape of the eyes) and then moving towards an analysis of the whole face, for an harmonious result.

With this approach, the worry of seeing one’s appearance distorted and of ‘not recognizing oneself anymore’ becomes less.

Angelo had an eye shape that did not reflect his mood.
He always looked sad and that didn’t reflect himself.

I explained to Angelo that this emotional attribute was due to the inclination of the outer corner of the eye (negative canthal tilt).

In my experience it is possible to improve this particular shape of the eyes with a specific and minimally invasive surgery of Eyelid Lift and Cantoplasty.

The result is natural, expressive and with a fast post-operative recovery.

How much does the shape of our eyes characterize our expressions?

The position of the outer corner of the eye and the lower eyelid plays a fundamental role because determine the type of emotional message that, each of us, transmits with our gaze.

Those who suffer from round eye, downward eye or a more closed eye very often do not find the right incisiveness in their gaze.
It is possible to solve these imperfections thanks to cantoplasty, correction of eyelid ptosis and liftingmalar.

“I always laughed, but the eyes didn’t laugh” Cit. Greta

Greta during the visit he expressed her “malaise” which is often exposed to me by patients with drooping eyelids.

Her goal was not so much to rejuvenate, but to be able to express her character, her state of mind.

In this specific case I proposed an intervention aimed at improving her expressiveness through a complete blepharoplasty with correction of ptosis, specially designed for her case.

The result?
Greta is smiling again with her whole face and especially with her eyes.

Our emotions are important and even more important is being able to express them not only with words, but also with our eyes and our gaze.

Reducing and improving the negative emotional attributes of gaze and face, such as those who always look tired, sad or angry, is one of the musts of my work philosophy, from an overall perspective of natural beauty.

This allows me to propose the most suitable and decisive path to each individual patient.

Barbara had a goal: to improve the gaze region and return to express her emotions with her eyes.

Sometimes happens that our eyes do not transmit what we feel on the contrary, they attribute an emotional status to us that does not reflect us.

This may depend on the presence of some imperfections such as:
– drooping eyelid (eyelid ptosis)
– excess skin in the upper eyelid
– bags under the eyes and dark circles

During the visit with Barbara we analyzed the technical aspects of the intervention, but above all the empathic ones, so that I could offer her the path that was not only the most suitable, but also the most decisive for her.

In this case I performed both an upper and lower blepharoplasty with ptosis which allowed not only to rejuvenate the whole face, but to return to express itself in a natural way.

I like to carry out “tailor-made” surgeries and aesthetic treatments,
in order to respect the individuality of the eyes and face of each of my patients.

I strongly believe in the concept of authentic and non-standardized beauty.

Ginevra came on a visit because she wanted to eliminate the bags under the eyes with the plexr.

After a careful analysis of his eye area, I explained that this treatment would not have solved his imperfection.

Therefore she decided to undergo minimally invasive lower blepharoplasty.

When we talk about non-ablative blepharoplasty, we must imagine an electrical device, the Plexr, which uses the ionization of gases in the air (plasma) to generate a small electric shock that acts at the level of the epidermis, remodeling it.

Plasma brought near the eyelid causes small punctiform “burns” of the superficial horny layer of the skin, with consequent skin retraction and mini lifting effect.

This lifting effect, however, is transient, usually lasting a few months, for a maximum of 6. Furthermore, the post-treatment course is comparable to that of a minimally invasive surgical blepharoplasty, which however lasts for many years. Both procedures involve the use of local anesthesia.

In my experience I use this treatment only when there are small wrinkles or slight excesses of skin in the lower eyelid to be minimized.
Otherwise I prefer surgery and, in this case, upper and lower blepharoplasty.

Paolo had excess tissue in both the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in a crease at the height of the outer canthus of the eye.

She wanted to improve her eyes in a lasting way.

For this reason I decided to offer him the surgery of upper and lower blepharoplasty, ablative (minimally invasive surgery).

The aesthetic results for Paolo are:
– almost invisible scars (as the incisions respect the natural folds of the eyelids)
– long duration of the corrective result
– more expressive look
– fresher and less tired face

For this reason, the non-ablative approach is not always suitable or recommended for blemishes such as those just presented.
