August 23rd, 2019
Daria writes Google 5-Star review, “I went to Bashioum Cosmetics for an eyelid lift and couldn’t be happier with the experience and my results. The staff is incredibly friendly, caring, and professional, and Dr. Bashioum is very skilled in his art with great bedside manner. Thank you all at Bashioum Cosmetics for a wonderful experience! I can’t wait for my next “update” with you all!
Dr. Bashioum replies, “What a nice way to end the week, by reading your 5-Star review this morning! It is always a pleasure to hear from patients that we met their expectations and gratifying to know that our effort to provide a pleasant surgical experience for our patients is appreciated. I will be especially pleased to share your comments with my great staff, because we all strive to provide the experience of having eyelid surgery that you have described. Thank you for your most kind comments.” Dr. Ralph Bashioum
Eyelid Nipntuck
June 21st, 2010
I frequently hear that nipntuck procedures for the eyes, called blepharoplasty are the best bang for the buck to freshen the appearance of the face. It is actually one of the surgeries that is popular with male patients, as well. It is a common belief that by removing eye bags, cosmetic surgery can restore a rested and more youthful appearance. I agree. Keen competition in the business world drives more executives to maintain this vibrant and healthy look. Repairing droopy eyelids for both men and women has an overall positive impact on patients’ quality of life.
The procedure involves the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. It is a common misconception that liposuction is used for eyelid surgery. Upper eyelids require removal of skin and a small amount of fat. Lower eyelids have fat repositioning, followed by re-draping the skin and muscle. Only a very small amount of skin is removed from lower eyelids. Patients usually have minimal bruising and may return to work in as little as a few days. Makeup easily covers slight bruising during recovery, however it needs to be applied with a light touch.
I have a conservative approach to eye surgery and avoid the more severe “almond eye” look that seems to be popular in Hollywood. My patients simply look more rested, like they’ve just come back from vacation. Here in Minnesota, mid-summer is a likely time for that “cosmetic surgery vacation.” I usually see a slight uptick in requests for facial rejuvenation surgery, particularly eyelid surgery and facelifts.
