Fremont Plastic Surgeon on Sustained Popularity of Eyelid Surgery
(firmenpresse) - FREMONT, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/10/12 -- According to cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Okamoto, when patients first express concern about their aging appearance, they tend to focus on their eyes. Whether they are concerned with droopy upper eyelids or baggy lower lids, he says he has seen an increase in eyelid surgery procedures at his practice. From discussing his patients' cosmetic enhancement goals during their consultations, Dr. Okamoto says he believes the sustained popularity of this procedure is rooted in the desire to mirror their outward appearance with their inner vitality.

With the ability to fight the aging process with less invasive procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers like Restylane®, Dr. Okamoto says patients have a number of options that allow them to address their aesthetic concerns before having to consider a surgical procedure. However, he adds that while these non-surgical treatments are able to treat the signs of aging, the results are not as effective or long-lasting as those attainable with a traditional .
Due to the widespread increase in popularity of all cosmetic enhancements in general, Dr. Okamoto says he urges anyone considering a procedure such as eyelid surgery to consult with a board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon. By doing so, he says patients not only increase the likelihood of achieving their cosmetic enhancement goals, but also place their safety in the hands of an experienced and tested surgeon.
