Eye Rejuvenation: Options Abound
Signs of aging and looking tired begin in the eye area for most women
and men. Many will complain that family, friends and co-workers ask if
they are tired even when they are fully rested. We hear again and again:
“I look so tired/old, but I feel great”. People are living longer and staying
more active later in life; and they want to look as good as they feel.
transconjunctival (no external incision, done through the inside eye
lining). Most patients require an external incision to remove sagging
skin. The incision and resultant minimal scar are well camouflaged by a
patient’s eyelashes. Fatty tissue can be removed via both approaches,
lessening the puffy look seen in aging eyes.
Drooping of eyelid skin and bags under the eyes are what most patients
want to go away. Relaxation of skin is a natural part of aging due to
changes in collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis and structural
changes in the epidermis. The “bags” that we see with time are actually
fatty tissue that prolapses with relaxation of supportive tissues under the
skin. Both of these are directly addressed with blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty is typically done under anesthesia, but can be performed
under local in select patients. Recovery is much easier than most patients
expect. While there is some discomfort, patients are usually pleasantly
surprised to find that they are actually numb around the eyes afterwards;
most patients rarely take a pain pill.
As a specialist in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Hamilton has made
blepharoplasty and periorbital rejuvenation a focus of his practice. He
has written and lectured on procedures in this area and regularly
performs eyelid cosmetic surgery.
Blepharoplasty can be done on the upper or lower eyelids. Through an
incision in our natural upper eyelid crease, Dr. Hamilton is able to
remove excess skin as well as address any redundant fatty tissue. In the
lower eyelids, incisions may be made just below the eyelashes or
Sutures remain in a week and make-up may be applied shortly after that.
A complimentary skin care and make up session with our aesthetician
Michelle Gillen is part of your post procedure schedule. Most patients
are back to work and other moderate activities within two weeks.
Dr. Hamilton follows all patients through the recovery process and for
the first year. Our practice remains unique in its continued follow up and
care AFTER your procedure; an important consideration when you
choose your surgeon.
Continued on following page.
Sandy Smith is one patient who elected to have eyelid surgery.
For years, Sandy had received compliments on her eyes. After Lasik
surgery, Sandy began to notice a tired look. Excess skin on the upper
eyelids were preventing placement of make-up and giving her a hooded
appearance. She also noticed puffiness in the lower eyelids.
Sandy elected to proceed with surgery after a consultation with Dr.
Hamilton. Even though Sandy is a nurse, she was apprehensive about
surgery. “I was afraid, but trusted Dr. Hamilton. After discussing the
procedure with him as well as another patient of his, I felt reassured.”
Sandy’s surgery went smoothly and by two weeks she was able to
wear make-up and go back to work. Her eyes are now more open and
much less tired looking. “The results are absolutely great. I am so
happy with the results because once again people look at me and tell
me how nice my eyes look. I would definitely do it all over again!”

NEW PUBLICATIONS
FEATURE DR. HAMILTON
Continued from cover.
Dr. Hamilton was asked to
co-author a chapter in Papel’s
Essentials of Facial Plastic
Surgery on Laser Resurfacing.
This textbook is widely considered
the authoritative guide in facial
plastic surgery. Dr. Hamilton’s
chapter covers all aspects of
laser treatments of the skin,
from minimal downtime fractional
treatments to full face CO2 laser.
The book will be available later
this year.
Additional options for eyelid rejuvenation include laser resurfacing,
brow lifts, and non-surgical treatments such as eyelash enhancement, eyelid focused skin care and make-up. Many patients who
come in seeking eye rejuvenation actually have brow ptosis. An
endoscopic brow lift can lift the brows and subsequently lessen
upper eyelid skin. With today’s endoscopic techniques, incisions
are camouflaged behind the hairline and recovery time is similar to
a blepharoplasty alone. Consultation with Dr. Hamilton will help
determine if brow lift is part of your eyelid rejuvenation.
Dr. Hamilton also authored a
chapter on hair restoration for
Surgical Facial Rejuvenation,
another comprehensive textbook
on facial plastic surgery.
As a clinical associate professor at
Indiana University, Dr. Hamilton is
actively involved in lecturing, teaching
as well as publishing. He regularly
serves as a volunteer staff
surgeon at Wishard Hospital for
resident teaching.
Other Options for Eyelid Rejuvenation
Before
Early aging in the eyes is often due to textural changes such as fine
lines and sallow skin. Resurfacing options, from chemical peels to
fractional resurfacing to CO2 laser may be the focus of your eye
rejuvenation. In general, the more aggressive the treatment, the
more the downtime but the better the results. The multiple
resurfacing options that Dr. Hamilton has allow him to tailor a
program just for your needs as well as your schedule.
After
Making the decision for surgery is a shared commitment by the
surgeon and the patient. The results of this joint effort can lead to
a rejuvenated look with younger, refreshed eyes. As with any facial
surgery, improving how you look will change how others see you,
and more importantly, how you see yourself!

PERMANENT MAKEUP
More women are choosing permanent makeup to make their lives easier.
Permanent makeup, also known as Intradermal Pigmentation is a
revolutionary way to place natural pigments in the dermal layer of the skin
to cosmetically enhance the eyes, eyebrows and lips. When applied to the
lids for eyeliner, it creates the appearance of fuller lashes and a more
defined eye shape. Pigment can also be added to the eyebrows to better
define the shape or make them appear thicker. Additionally, pigment can
be placed to the edge of the lips to better define them or completely cover
them to create a fuller look as well as provide long lasting color. This
procedure is completely safe when performed in a clinical environment.
