(Surgery by Dr. Frank Meronk)
|
|
|
Before and After:
A Blend Between Two States
To view this patient's actual progress after surgery, see the photos below. Note how the highly arched new crease reshapes over time.
|
|
|
Before
Single eyelid with multiple superficial incomplete folds; lashes pushed far downwards
|
|
|
5 days after
Marked swelling above and below the incision line
|
|
|
2 weeks after
New platform is swollen and crease appears high and overly arched
|
|
|
4 weeks after
Less swelling on platform; crease slightly lower and smoother but still quite high
|
|
|
6 weeks after
Less swelling; crease is better defined and slightly lower due to skin above the incision beginning to soften and drape
|
|
|
2 months after
Crease is lower as the skin above has draped further
|
|
|
3 months after
As internal healing continues, lashes have assumed a more upward direction
|
|
|
6 months after
Platform thinner; crease is lower, more defined, and more regular in the corners due to the continued draping of skin above the scar
|
|
|
12 months after
Medium tapered crease at full maturation
|
Note: While representative, the rate of healing
will vary patient to patient
