Yes, these procedures requires general anesthesia to ensure the patient stays asleep for the entire surgery.

Healing takes time, and every individual’s recovery is different. It will take approximately 10-14 days.  

Festoons, also known as malar mounds, are a medical condition in which the skin of the lower eyelids and cheek regions becomes swollen with fluid as a result of sun damage, lifestyle factors, genetics, or the natural aging process. They are different from lower eyelid bags and can become large enough to block vision.
Festoons are among cosmetic surgery’s most challenging problems.

Dr. Scheiner’s RESET for Festoons is a transformational deep skin resurfacing procedure that has become the gold standard for removing festoons.

The Better Blepharoplasty™ is a groundbreaking two-step solution that offers complete eyelid rejuvenation, first by removing excess skin, droopy tissue and lower lids bags, then resurfacing the skin that’s left behind to create tighter, smoother, youthful skin.

The Better Blepharoplasty™ elevates conventional  blepharoplasty in two ways: First, it uses laser technology to remove excess skin from the upper lids and under eye bags, dramatically improving recovery time. Then, it addresses the longstanding shortcoming of blepharoplasty—wrinkled skin that remains after surgery. The Better Blepharoplasty leverages Dr. Scheiner’s proprietary RESET® resurfacing to rejuvenate both skin. The results are dramatic, leaving behind like-new, smoother, more youthful skin.

Oculoplastic Surgeons have a high level understanding of the structure of the eye, eyelids and facial region around the eyes in preparation for surgery in this very delicate area. They go through special training to provide the precise and careful touch required for performing eyelid and facial plastic surgery. Dr. Scheiner believes plastic surgeons do a fine job on other areas of the face, but that oculoplastic training is best for eyelid surgery.
