Case Study: Restoring Youthful Symmetry
Patient Concern: A recent patient consulted Dr. Sabet-Peyman with heavy upper eyelids caused by aging and genetics. Excess skin obscured her natural eyelid crease, creating a tired appearance that makeup could no longer conceal. Her goal was to achieve a brighter, more alert look without an “overdone” result.
Dr. Sabet-Peyman’s Approach:
- Anatomical Analysis: Through a meticulous in-person examination, Dr. Sabet-Peyman assessed the patient’s eyelid structure, skin quality, and facial symmetry to plan incisions that preserved her natural beauty.
- Surgical Precision: Excess skin and fat were removed through hidden incisions along the natural eyelid crease, ensuring scars would fade imperceptibly.
- Dual Expertise: Leveraging his background in both ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, he balanced aesthetics with anatomical precision.
Results:
- Natural Rejuvenation: The patient’s eyes appeared brighter and more open, with a restored eyelid contour that complemented her features.
- No Visible Scarring: Incisions healed discreetly within the natural crease, leaving no trace of surgery.
- Lasting Confidence: The patient reported feeling “refreshed” and “like herself again” in social and professional settings.
