Am I a candidate for an eyelid lift?
ASK DR. YAGODA
Question: My eyes always look tired and I have eye bags. I’m a 42-year-old man from Manhattan and I scar easily. Am I a candidate for an eyelid lift?
Answer: Yes, lower lid bags can easily be removed without leaving any visible scar. This is through a transconjunctival approach. In this surgery, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid and the fat is removed from the inside. This technique not only removes the unwanted fat bags, but it also preserves the strength and elasticity of the lower eyelid skin.

Can an Eyelid lift change the shape of my eyes?
ASK DOCTOR YAGODA
Question: Can a blepharoplasty change my eye shape? I’m Asian American, 33, living in New York City, and one of my eyes is rounder than the other, which makes me look asymmetrical.
Answer: Blepharoplasty can change the shape of the eye, if that is the goal, but routine eyelift surgery does not change its shape. In some cases, Asian eyes can look rounder, or more Western, with incisionless double lid surgery as well.
The Jewish Nose is In!
After decades of being the source of jokes, the Jewish nose has
suddenly become desirable!
Surprisingly, rhinoplasty or nose job surgery among Jewish teenage girls is in decline. Stars like Barbara Streisand and “Glee” star Lea Michele may be responsible for changing the way Jewish teens view their profiles.
This is not the case with rhinoplasty in other ethnic groups. There has been a rise in Asian, African-American and Hispanic rhinoplasties.
If you are considering this plastic surgery procedure, trust your face (and nose) to a facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Yagoda.

Can an eyelid lift help my sagging eye skin?
ASK DR YAGODA
Question: I’m a 60-something year old woman and the skin around my eyes is just not what it used to be. The skin sags and I can’t wear eye shadow anymore because it barely shows. Can an eyelid lift help me or do I need a facelift?
Answer: The condition you are describing is known as hooding. Hooding occurs when upper eyelid skin becomes loose and hangs over the eyelid crease close to or onto the eyelashes. Bothersome as it may be, the solution is fast, easy and virtually painless. This excess skin, caused by the normal aging process or genetics in some cases, can be removed in the office under local anesthesia. The incision, which is hidden in the normal upper eyelid crease, is nearly invisible when it heals. And, here’s good news for the squeamish: aside from the sensation of heaviness after surgery, there is no pain. This is because once the skin incision is made, the area can be numb for up to three weeks. In addition, there is no need to worry about “seeing” something during the surgery. An opaque contact lens is placed into the eye, after it has been anesthetized with a topical eye drop. As a result, you won’t feel the insertion or removal.
Flammable Sunscreen?
