Testimonials

After the loss of my husband I didn't like what I saw in the mirror anymore – his passing had taken years off my face. So I chose to begin my life again with a brand new face. I knew from my first visit with Dr. Clevens and his staff that I was in good hands. And as time went on, Dr. Clevens' knowledge and warm, sincere personality convinced me I was doing the right thing. A big thank you to this team for making my plastic surgery experience a success! Read more

Q: Eyelid Surgery Revision Possible with Chemosis Present? I had eyelid surgery 5 months ago. It went bad and now I need to have it redone. My new plastic surgeon told me that I have chemosis in one of my eyes. I am supposed to have my new surgery soon to repair what my other surgeon messed up on. I want to know, can it be redone even though I have chemosis? Or will that worsen the problem?

A: Chemosis unusual months after eyelid surgery

It is rather unusual for chemosis to persist for months after blepharoplasty. Chemosis is swelling of the conjunctiva, the clear layer that covers the white of your eye. Chemosis is not uncommon immediately after eyelid surgery and may last for several days. Often it is minor and hardly noticeable. If chemosis is persisting for months after surgery, then I would advocate against further eyelid surgery at this point. Instead, I would investigate the cause of your persistent chemosis. Chemosis is often a nonspecific sign of eye irritation. Other causes include allergy and infection.

Q: The swelling from my upper bleph is finally beginning to subside (after 4 and a half weeks) however now I am noticing crepey skin on the outer side of my eyelids. Is this normal and does it improve?

A: Laser Skin Resurfacing is Best for "Crepey" Skin after Blepharoplasty

Crepey skin is normal if you have not combined s skin resurfacing procedure with your Blepharoplasty surgery.  When excess fat is removed from the lower lids and excess skin is removed from the upper lids- you have merely addressed skin and fat- not skin tone, texture and quality. 

Lasers create a tightening affect that helps to improve the appearance of loose facial and neck skin.

A laser is an amplified beam of light that vaporizes blemishes, imperfections, and lines and wrinkles that were once thought to be permanent. Laser resurfacing may also improve the appearance of acne scars and remove precancerous skin growths.
