Connie Said:

I want to get eye lift surgery. Did anyone have it done? and how does it look after? How much is the cost?

We Answered:

As with most things in life you will generally get what you pay for: the more experienced surgeons with the more advanced technology will charge more for cosmetic surgery. These are your eyes, don't cheap out on them. It's one thing if you buy a cheap LCD TV and the pixels go bad - you can take it back and exchange it for a new one. But if you have a bad outcome with eye surgery you're stuck with that for life.

Probably the most important decision someone who is considering any eye surgery must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform cosmetic surgery, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:

The advice in this document can be applied to choosing any surgeon in any specialty, not just cataract surgeons.

I just had lasik eye surgery, can I go to gym and lift weight?

We Answered:

Avoid strenuous exercise after eye surgery.

As with any kind of surgery, it's important that you follow your doctor's instructions to the letter. Really you shouldn't over extend yourself. Get proper rest, use all prescribed medications as directed and call your doctor immediately if you suspect a problem.

Immediately after LASIK eye surgery, your doctor will have you rest for a bit, then you can go home (someone else must drive). At home, you should relax for at least a few hours.

You may be able to go to work the next day, but many doctors advise a couple of days of rest instead. They also recommend no strenuous exercise for up to a week, since this can traumatize the eye and affect healing.

Whats involved in cosmetic eye lift surgery?

We Answered:

It depends what you mean by eye lift.
Blepharoplasty is removing excess skin (ie tightening) from the upper eyelids. They have a video of the procedure (if you are not too squeemish!) http://eyesurgeryvideos.blogspot.com/2008/05/endoscopic-brow-lift.html

Or the other type is a brow lift. Again another video here...

Anita Said:

Hypothyroidism and eye lift surgery?

We Answered:

Yes and the reason is because the results are suppose to be very bad. A person with hypothyroidism who is myxedematous has swelling around their eye area. If the surgeon removes tissue and your swelling returns to normal you will end up with deeply sunken eyes. I think that is the main reason.
