Cosmetic Reconstruction

Dr. Walrath operates on a significant number of patients who have endured complications from previous upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. Dr. Walrath has expertise in fixing these complications and has recently written articles on the subject.

Preoperative

Preoperative: This patient complained of a “small eye” on the right due to improper eyelid anchoring during cosmetic surgery.

Preoperative: This patient complained of irritation in the left eye preoperatively. The left eye, pictured below, has lost it’s normal attachments to bone. The “white triangle” of the eye can be seen, and it is small compared to the other side.

Preoperative: This patient could not close his eyes after cosmetic lower eyelid surgery followed by two revisions. The eyelids were simply anchored too superiorly at the outside corners — this interferes with upper eyelid closure, as can be seen in the bottom picture during attempted lid closure.

Preoperative: This patient had cosmetic upper blepharoplasty that left her right upper lid drooping.

Preoperative: This patient had prior lower lid surgery with fat injections. That surgery left her with both lids too low. The outer corners of the lids tended to droop as well, leading to a “sad” apperance. There is additional bulk in the right lower lid due to fat injection.
