Learn about eyes and ears cosmetic surgery during October

When a person first takes a look at another human, one of the first things they notice about the person being viewed is the look of the eyes and ears. They are some of the most prominent features on the head as well as areas of the body that can cause distress due to their appearance. The eyes can have fine lines and wrinkles form around them due to the aging process and they can also start to droop as someone gets older. In addition, the ears can be a source of embarrassment due to their size and the fact that they can greatly stick out from the head. The desire to make changes in the appearance of the eyes and ears can often lead patients to seek out cosmetic treatments to address these issues.

Cosmetic Town is spotlighting cosmetic procedures for the eyes and ears during the month of October. We have a month filled with informative and educational articles about the changes that can be made through cosmetic surgery on the eyes and ears. In addition, the Cosmetic Town TV team has exclusive interviews with leading cosmetic surgeons from across the country that will share behind the scenes information about cosmetic procedures that can change the size, shape and look of the ears as well as the different procedures that can be performed to refresh and rejuvenate the look of the eyes.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery Overview

Eyelid cosmetic surgery is performed to give the eyes a more youthful look through a variety of techniques that target fat and skin in the designated area as well as restore volume that has been lost due to the aging process. Some of the most popular eyelid cosmetic surgery options include:

  • Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the eyelids and it can be classified as upper or lower blepharoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty specifically targets extra fat and skin in the central portion of the upper eyelid. Lower blepharoplasty is performed to improve the look of the skin as well as the muscle located beneath the eye. Both upper and lower blepharoplasty tighten the skin located around the eyes to provide a younger and rejuvenated appearance by treating eyes that look tired or eyes that have an appearance that is sagging or puffy.
  • Canthoplasty is performed on the lateral canthus AKA the outer corner of the eyes which is the area where the upper and lower eyelids join together. The cosmetic surgeon cuts and sews the lateral canthus to address the drooping eyelid that happens due to an aging or weak muscle or eyeballs that are bulging.
  • Eyelid fat grafting improves the appearance of eyelids that have a hollow look because of aging or because of a previous blepharoplasty surgery that resulted in the removal of a good portion of the protective fat layer around the eyes. The doctor can take fat from another area of the body and inject it into the eyelid area to provide a refreshed and full look to the targeted area.
  • Eyelid reconstruction and revision is a cosmetic procedure for patients that have defects around the eyes, as well as the upper face or mid-face, due to a loss of tissue or the excision of a tumor. Patients that have an eyelid that pulls up or down are ideal for eyelid reconstruction and revision.
  • Double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic surgery that is traditionally performed on Asian patients to provide them with eyes that look larger and more alert. It is ideal for male and female patients so a cosmetic surgeon needs to keep the difference in the shape and width of the eyes in mind when planning the surgery.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery Explained

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to enhance and improve the size, shape and position of the ears on the head of a patient. Otoplasty can be performed during the first few weeks of life after a baby is born or when a patient is 5 or 6 years of age (because a child has ears that have developed to within 80\\%-90\\% of their adult size by that age).

Otoplasty can address issues such as:

  • Ears that are protruding or overly large
  • Ears that been injured, and might be misshapen, because of injury or trauma to the ears
  • Ear structure defects that have been present since birth

Otoplasty can be performed to reshape one or both of the ears as well as reduce the overall size of the ear. In addition, cosmetic ear surgery can remove excess cartilage and skin in the targeted area which results in a new contour and smaller size thanks to the removal of the cartilage and then the stitching of the remaining cartilage. The cosmetic surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to gain better access to the cartilage.
