上眼皮下垂的成因可以是由於先天性，衰老，重症肌無力病，腦中風或腦、肺腫瘤所致。眼皮下垂的醫治的方法亦因應診斷而大大不同，難於歸納，因此我們在此只將討論限於常見因年紀老化而引致的眼皮下垂的整形醫治方法。

對於年紀大的患者來說，眼皮會出現不同程度的鬆弛下垂，較嚴重者鬆弛下垂遮蓋部分瞼裂，影響視野，甚至眼瞼緣被推移內翻，導致倒睫溢淚症狀。老年性上眼瞼手術（Eyelid Lift, Upper Eyelid Surgery, or Upper Blepharoplasty)最重要的目標是矯正及改善眼皮鬆弛下垂導致的症狀，並且術後與患者的整體形象諧調。

眼瞼整形手術的好處

因老化而上眼皮下垂的成因是由於眼皮組織由衰老而變得鬆弛，而眼皮脂肪亦積聚過多，形成眼皮浮腫及下垂。眼睛此時看上去會覺得老態龍鍾，缺乏活力。嚴重者眼皮會蓋過眼珠瞳孔，影響視力以及日常活動。

病人前來接受眼皮下垂手術的原因很多，但很多時是因為是不滿意自己外表蒼老，不僅看起來無精打采、老氣橫秋，希望藉手術令自己看來年青一些，好等更加配合心境，恢復自信。曾有病人因為眼皮下垂，眼睛變得細小無神而令他擔心他的生意顧客對他的印象及信心打折扣而想接受手術改善。亦有病人因眼皮嚴重下垂、遮蔽視線，要經常很費力地睜開眼睛， 導致經常抬眉毛， 而產生許多抬頭紋。

眼皮下垂手術手術注意事項

眼皮下垂手術的原理大致和切開法雙眼皮手術差不多，但主要是切除過多的脂肪及鬆弛的皮膚，及拉緊因衰老而失去彈力的眼皮上提肌肉。手術後的效果是眼皮下垂的情況得到改善，眼睛會看來回復精神及活力。另外一種選擇是將傷口放在眉毛下，尤其適用於有紋眉的患者，眼尾的疤痕可躲在眉毛下緣不易發現。另外也可以考慮使用內視鏡的額頭拉皮手術，將下垂的眉尾拉高，可同時改善眼尾下垂及魚尾紋、抬頭紋等，可謂一舉多得。

上眼皮下垂的問題一定要找有經驗的整形外科醫生咨詢，鑒別診斷出“上眼皮老化鬆弛下垂”、“眉毛下垂”或是病態的“眼皮下垂”，再針對問題決定適合的治療方式。眼皮下垂改善手術是將鬆弛的上眼皮切除；但若同時伴有眉毛下垂，導致眉眼間距少於二公分， 則一定要先做前額拉皮手術或提眉手術，以拉大眉、眼之間的距離， 再將鬆弛的上眼皮切除，可讓眼睛明亮、有神、回春。

The mid-facelift revitalizes one's appearance by targeting the middle third of the face and therefore creating a more youthful effect. This region, from the lower eyelids to the upper lip, often shows signs of aging such as sagging cheeks, droopiness below the eyes, and deepened laugh lines. While the traditional facelift targets the lower face and neck, the mid-facelift concentrates on this middle section of the face. This procedure is often performed in connection with a browlift or lower eyelid surgery in order to provide overall rejuvenation. A consultation with Dr. Wang will help you in deciding if the mid-facelift may be the best option for refreshing your look.

If you're ready to discuss your mid-facelift options, now is a great time to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wang at our plastic surgery offices, serving Southern California including Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, Glendora, Chino Hills, Arcadia and Upland. Simply request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

What is a mid-facelift?

The mid-facelift is either an open or endoscopic procedure for raising the soft tissues of the cheeks in order to create a youthful vitality. The fat of the upper cheeks (malar pads) sink with age, which then causes hollowness beneath the eyes and increases the depth of the folds that extend from the lower part of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). Through an endoscopic approach with small incisions concealed within the hairline, Dr. Wang lifts the fat pads of the upper cheeks as well as the deeper facial tissues in this region to an elevated position.

Who is the ideal candidate for a mid-facelift?

The ideal candidate for this procedure is one with realistic expectations who is looking to enhance rather than transform their appearance. Because sagging in the middle third of the face begins in the late thirties, candidates for this procedure are generally in their forties and up.

How is the incision made?

In performing a mid-facelift Dr. Wang makes short incisions within the hairline near the temple. This allows for use of special tools to lift the fat and tissues, which are then secured in place with absorbale sutures. The incisions are very small and therefore practically unnoticeable. The external closures are removed about a week or so after surgery. The procedure is can be performed with the patient under either local or general anesthesia.

What is the typical recovery time?

Most patients are able to return to their regular lifestyle about a week after the procedure. Bruising and swelling can occur, especially within the first week. Elevating the head and icing the area can help alleviate swelling. Pain medication is used to address slight discomfort immediately following the procedure.

As we age, gravity causes fat deposits to migrate downward in the face, creating under-eye bags, sagging cheeks and jowls, and loose skin in the chin and neck. For Pasadena residents wanting a facial rejuvenation option that's minimally invasive, AccuLift™ laser lipolysis removes unwanted fat deposits and tightens loose skin, restoring a more youthful appearance to the aging face.

AccuLift appeals to many patients and surgeons because it carefully balances the benefits of a non-invasive treatment with the benefits of surgery. Non-surgical treatments can have temporary and sometimes variable results; unfortunately, the surgical procedures that can achieve permanent, consistent results often require a lengthy recovery period. AccuLift, however, provides lasting, significant improvement without the discomfort or downtime of surgery.

AccuLift laser lipolysis can also serve as a perfect complement to other facial plastic surgery procedures and non-surgical rejuvenation treatments. Dr. Wang will work closely with you to customize a treatment plan specific to your facial characteristics and treatment goals.

If you're interested in speaking with Dr. Wang about AccuLift facial liposuction at our Pasadena or Inland Empire plastic surgery locations, simply request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today.

What are the benefits of AccuLift facial rejuvenation?

AccuLift restores the aging face to a more youthful appearance by removing unwanted fat deposits and tightening loose skin. In contrast to other surgical facial rejuvenation treatments, AccuLift:

• Offers immediate results
• Requires minimal downtime
• Uses local anesthesia only
• Requires only one brief treatment

How is the AccuLift procedure performed?

First, Dr. Wang applies a small amount of local anesthesia to numb the treatment areas. Next, he creates small 1 to 2 mm openings at the edge of the treatment area. Through these tiny openings, the AccuSculpt™ laser removes fat and tightens skin.

How long will the AccuLift procedure take?

Most AccuLift procedures can be completed in less than one hour.

What can I expect after the AccuLift procedure?

Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will appear tighter and slimmer. Skin tightening is a gradual process, showing continual improvement over time. Best results are visible after several months. Because the procedure uses only tiny incisions and incision lines fade gradually over time, scarring (if any) is minimal.

What is the recovery period like?

The recovery period is relatively brief, typically with very little swelling or bruising. Patients can expect low levels of discomfort for the first 24 to 48 hours following surgery.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients are able to return to their daily routine within 2 to 5 days.

Silhouette Lift® is an innovative, non-invasive facelift procedure that is FDA approved for use in the US. The Silhouette Lift is a gentle alternative to a standard facelift. Without the use of a scalpel, without any cutting or pulling, with reduced scarring and minimal recovery time, and without the need for general anesthesia, the Silhouette Lift creates a natural looking lift by elevating and fixating the tissues of the mid-face, brow and neck with barbed polypropylene threads. The Silhouette Lift® can achieve 60-70% of the results of a conventional facelift and can be re-adjusted over time for additional enhancement as the aging process continues.

A forehead lift corrects the sagging or low position of the eyebrows, softens horizontal creases across the forehead and erases the worried or angry expression that can result from frown lines. The outcome is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.

Now is a great time to schedule a forehead lift consultation with Dr. Wang at our plastic surgery offices, serving Southern California including Pasadena, Arcadia and Riverside. You can request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

With endoscopic brow lift plastic surgery in the Inland Empire / Pasadena, Dr. Wang uses a flexible, pencil-sized instrument to microsurgically tighten the muscles of the brow, which lifts sagging folds of skin. The brow lift can also be performed in combination with the eyelid lift to significantly reduce skin overhang in the upper eyelid. Dr. Wang evaluates your face to determine if eyelid surgery is also necessary, and will make recommendations specific to your situation. In many cases, eyelid surgery is not necessary.

Forehead lifts are most common among those between the ages of 40 and 60, though they can be performed on healthy individuals of any age. Forehead lifts can also be performed in combination with facelifts for an overall smoother appearance of the face.

What are the common benefits of a forehead lift?

The forehead lift smoothes the forehead, raises the eyebrows and minimizes frown lines.

How is the forehead lift performed?

Prior to the procedure, the hair is tied back and trimmed behind the hairline where the incisions will be made. While the patient is under local anesthesia, Dr. Wang makes three to five short scalp incisions that are less than an inch long. Dr. Wang then inserts the endoscope through one of the incisions for a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin. For a smoother appearance, the forehead skin is lifted and the underlying muscles and tissue removed or altered with an instrument inserted through a different incision. At this time, the eyebrows may also be lifted and secured at a higher position with sutures beneath the surface of the skin or with temporary fixation screws behind the hairline. When the lift is complete, the incisions are closed with stitches or clips. The area is then washed and Dr. Wang may add gauze and a bandage.

How long does a forehead lift take?

The endoscopic forehead lift takes from one to two hours.

What can I expect after my Pasadena / Riverside plastic surgery?

After surgery, you may experience fatigue, numbness, pain and mild swelling. Within about three weeks, though, most of the obvious signs of surgery will fade and you will appear more rested. Read Dr. Wang's advice about recovery from surgery.

What is the recovery period like?

During recovery, stitches or clips are typically removed within a week and temporary fixation screws are removed within two weeks. You should be able to shower and shampoo your hair within two days or after the bandage is removed. You should limit vigorous physical activity for several weeks. This includes activities that increase your blood pressure, like jogging, bending, heavy housework and sex. You should also limit your exposure to sun for several months. Read Dr. Wang's advice about recovery from surgery.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients who have experienced forehead lifts should be mobile within two days, but should take it easy for at least the first week after surgery. Most patients can return to work in a week to 10 days.

1. What are the concentric (doughnut) and anchor-shaped breast lift techniques?

There are several breast lift techniques to address the breast sagging issues. The circle or doughnut breast lift will result in a circular scar on the border of the areola. The anchor-shaped breast lift has additional horizontal and vertical scars on the lower half of the breast. The determination is based primarily on the amount of skin that needs to be reduced and surgeon' s preference.
