Can an Eyelid lift change the shape of my eyes?

will an eyelid lift change my eye shapeASK DOCTOR YAGODA

Question: Can a blepharoplasty change my eye shape? I’m Asian American, 33, living in New York City, and one of my eyes is rounder than the other, which makes me look asymmetrical.

Answer: Blepharoplasty can change the shape of the eye, if that is the goal, but routine eyelift surgery does not change its shape.  In some cases, Asian eyes can look rounder, or more Western, with incisionless double lid surgery as well.

The Jewish Nose is In!

After decades of being the source of jokes, the Jewish nose has6 suddenly become desirable!

Surprisingly, rhinoplasty or nose job surgery among Jewish teenage girls is in decline. Stars like Barbara Streisand and “Glee” star Lea Michele may be responsible for changing the way Jewish teens view their profiles.

This is not the case with rhinoplasty in other ethnic groups.  There has been a rise in Asian, African-American and Hispanic rhinoplasties.

If you are considering this plastic surgery procedure, trust your face (and nose) to a facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Yagoda.

Stem Cell Facelift?

Have you heard of a stem cell facelift?

Courtney Love, former wife of the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, is 3reported to have gotten a stem cell facelift back in 2010. The results are not very impressive. It may sound great, but in fact in many hands it’s little more than a fat transfer with volumizing and wrinkle-filling. I recommend fillers like Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, LaViv, and Belotero to rejuvenate an aging face and to restore lost volume by eliminating wrinkles.
