How Many Times Can You Have Blepharoplasty?
In our practice, as a rule, our patients have a blepharoplasty only once, but we see. Patients who have undergone blepharoplasty elsewhere and are unsatisfied. This is because these adjacent areas – the cheek, the temples, and the eyebrows have not been addressed. Sagging of these adjacent areas affects the appearance of the eyes. Once we address them, results can last a lifetime.
Are There Any Ways to Extend Results From Eyelid Surgery?
Eat healthy
A healthy diet is extremely helpful. It has been shown that the significantly refined carbohydrates in sugars tend to make the skin age. We develop what’s called advanced glycosylation end products in the skin, which cause oxidative stress and make the skin lose its elasticity.
Protect, hydrate, and nourish your skin
Using moisturizers that have hyaluronic acid and possibly vitamin C and Retin-A promotes skin health. Daily sunscreen use is important to prevent the skin from developing associated changes such as sun spots, thinning, and abnormal blood vessels. In our office, we recommend the following protective and nutrient skin care regimens:
Protect:
W Skin Studio TM has many mineral sunscreen options with varying textures and formulas. WSkin Physical Sun Shield is a great option for those who prefer a lightweight and tinted SPF. ELTA MD SPF is always a safe choice for patients with sensitive, acneic, or rosacea-prone skin. We also carry 2-in-1 sunscreens containing moisturizer for those who prefer a minimal routine.
Hydrate:
WSkin Oil Free Moisturizer is recommended for normal to oily skin types and those prone to breakouts. WSkin Moisture Recovery provides maximum hydration for
patients with dry skin. WSkin HA Peptide Gel contains 30% Hyaluronic Acid, and is our preference for under the eyes. This gel is suitable for anyone, whether you have dry skin and apply this under moisturizer for additional hydration, or if you have combo/oily skin and prefer a lightweight moisturizer.
Nourish:
To supply nutrients to the skin, we recommend incorporating growth factors and antioxidants into your daily skin care routine. WSkin Vita-C Reversal Serum is a potent mix of vitamins C & E as well as ferulic acid. WSkin 3-in-1 Serum contains green tea extract, resveratrol, and caffeine to deliver nutrients while reducing inflammation. WSkin Dermal Renewal Cream, also a W favorite, is our plant-based growth factor cream that improves skin texture, tightness, evens skin tone, and promotes new collagen growth.
