This patient is young, professional woman who was looking for a quick pick me up. Her primary concern was loose, crepe-like skin of her lower eyelids. She felt that these wrinkles really made her look a lot older than she felt. Some of the complicating factors for her was her work. She really could not afford extensive down-time or time off work. She was referred to Dr. Athre after talking to her hair dresser at Toni and Guy in Baybrook mall in Clear Lake. Her needs were very simple. She wanted to look a little refreshed without changing her overall appearance. She had seen other plastic surgeons in the Houston area and was not ready to undergo the extensive procedure that most other surgeons recommended. During her consultation, she mentioned the same concerns to Dr. Athre. He also agreed that she needed a very mild procedure that redraped the loose skin and tightened the underlying muscle. A new lower eyelid procedure was customized for her to do exactly this. The patient had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty done at Kobayashi Surgical Center under slight sedation. Here she is shown 5 days after her procedure with a spot of touch-up make-up. This procedure has become extremely popular because of the low down time involved and the phenomenal, instantaneous results. It was even featured on Channel 39 news in Houston.
