The purpose of cosmetic blepharoplasty is the reduction of redundant soft tissue of the upper and lower eyelids, improvement due to wrinkling and relaxation of the lid skin, and eradication of the fullness and bulges in the lids. The Angres Permalid-Liner is a new microsurgical procedure that implants various earthtone color pigments to the base of the eyelashes. When done together with aesthetic blepharoplasty, it can dramatize the eyes by giving sharper definition to the eye shape, makes lashes look thicker, makes the eye look larger and amplifies the whites of the eyes. At the same time, it can also be used to eliminate dark circles around the eyes, blend in skin grafts, and mask unsightly blemishes.
Cosmetic enhancement of the upper and lower eyelids by implantation of various colored pigments is one of the fastest growing procedures in ophthalmic practice. A new procedure, called Natural Brows, involves implantation of pigment in the brow line with a brush stroke technique in order to simulate brow hair. This procedure is particularly useful in patients with sparse brow hair caused by "overplucking." Burn victims and patients suffering from scarring after basal cell carcinoma removal will benefit from the camouflaging effect of the procedure. To achieve optimum cosmetic results, certain guidelines must be followed, and a complete evaluation of the patient's ocular morphology must be undertaken before surgery. A "paint-by-number" approach to the blepharopigmentation procedure is presented that is designed to reduce the risk of patient dissatisfaction.
