Dr. Zoumalan safely performs the latest in laser technology to help remove fine lines and deep wrinkles around the eyelid and face while striving to minimize postoperative swelling and pain. There are various lases platforms available on the market for laser resurfacing, and Dr. Zoumalan uses the latest and safest platform. It is a fractionated laser (ActiveFX, Lumenis Aesthetic) which is ideal for the treatment of fine lines, uneven texture, dyschromia and actinic keratosis. Collimated, non-sequential scanning delivers high effect, low-downtime, single pass laser skin resurfacing. This can contribute to a faster recovery and decrease redness and discomfort.

Dr. Zoumalan often employs laser resurfacing in his aesthetic eyelid blepharoplasties. The herniated fat pockets can often be removed by a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (hidden incision) and laser resurfacing can address the fine wrinkles. By combining both modalities, Dr. Zoumalan can help minimize downtime and the incidence of complications.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Bilateral upper and lower lid excess skin, lower lid aging changes with excess fat pockets
Procedure performed: Bilateral upper lid ptosis repair (blepharoplasty), lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning, chemical peel to lower lids
This 62-year-old female had excess skin and fat pockets in her upper and lower lids, and wished for cosmetic eyelid surgery.
