Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) vs Browlift from a Plastic Surgery perspective
03/14/21 • 24 min
Are you looking tired, intense, angry, or sad? In this episode of "Make Me Pretty", we review common reasons originating from heavy upper eyelids and/or a heavy brow. We review slight non-surgical options but primarily focus on surgical options such as an Upper Lid Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift) and various Browlifts. These are surgical procedures that can be performed separately or together and in the hands of a reputable surgeon can give a naturally appearing refreshed appearance to the face. As your host who spends time in and out of the operating room, I am a fan of these procedures with the correct patient selection.
This episode gives an overview of the aging tissues to the upper lids and brows, some thoughts on non-surgical procedures and a focus on surgical options.
Thank you for listening, subscribing, and reviewing. I see you and I APPRECIATE YOU!

EYE See You: Aging Under the Eye and What Can We do about It?!??!!!
The eyes are one of the first things we see on a person. They can "say" a lot without one single word spoken. On a good day, the skin under the eye is smooth, hydrated, tight, with good light reflection, few lines and little puffiness. BUUUUUUT when this area is dry, wrinkled, has darkened skin, shadowing of the tissues, significant laxity or large pockets of puffiness then one can look fatigued, sad, or unhealthy. In this episode, we discuss the evaluation of these tissues and possible options to address them. The area under the eye may not look as youthful as we’d like because of natural anatomical structures (genetics), typical changes with aging, or environmental injury (ex. sun exposure or smoking causing an increase in free radicals). With over 15 years experience in Plastic Surgery, Katie Allen, PA-C touches on a variety of treatment options such as microneedling, needling with radio frequency, lasers, skin care, filler, and surgery.
I suggest listening to the podcast at a 1.5x speed to keep the rhythm going. Thank you in advance for your support in listening to Make Me Pretty Podcast, downloading the podcast and leaving a review.

Acne with a focus on Maskne: featuring guest Davina Braselton, PA-C (Dermatology)
Plainly stated: Acne sucks. Not only can it indicate an underlying systemic medical condition, but it can cause permanent scarring, cause painful nagging cysts and can cause significant psychological distress. Boooooo!!! The chronic use of masks during the pandemic has led to a subclass of acne related to masks call Maskne and we don't like it either. In this episode, we have the privilege of interviewing Davina Braselton, PA-C (@davinabraselton) about Maskne and basic acne. With over 17 years of experience in Dermatology, Davina has a vast amount of knowledge of the challenging subject of acne, including what you can do at home to begin treatment of acne and when it's advised to seek professional help. She currently works with Lanier Dermatology in Gainesville, Georgia (770) 538-0208.
If you have persistent or worsening acne, I'd suggest meeting with a reputable dermatology provider to evaluate and begin treatment. It's also important to rule out underlying medical conditions that may manifest themselves in the skin.
As mentioned throughout the episode, more information can be found at The American Academy of Dermatology website www.aad.org
