Description

Do you always look tired—even when you’re not? 👀 In Episode 7 of Scalpel and Skin, Dr. Algier Lebraska, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and his sister Mystica Lebraska, a dermatology PA, break down eyelid rejuvenation and the different treatments that can change the way your upper and lower face looks. From upper and lower blepharoplasty to brow lifts, tear trough filler, PRF, bio filler, Botox, laser treatments, and fat grafting, they explain why there isn't always one procedure that fixes the way your eyes age. They talk about what causes a tired-looking appearance, including skin changes, pigmentation, fat loss, fat pad herniation, brow descent, muscle movement, and changes to the bone around the eyes. They also get into some of the biggest questions surrounding eyelid rejuvenation: • What is an upper blepharoplasty? • What happens during an eyelid lift? • When should you consider upper eyelid surgery? • What causes under-eye bags? • What's the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty? • Can lower eyelid fat be removed or repositioned? • What is a tear trough? • When can under-eye filler make things worse? • Why does filler selection matter under the eyes? • What is PRF and bio filler? • Can PRF replace traditional filler? • When should you use Botox around the eyes? • Is laser good for creepy eyelid skin and crow's feet? • What about fat grafting? • What are Fox Eye and Cat Eye procedures? • How much downtime does blepharoplasty require? • Is eyelid rejuvenation actually worth it? And, of course, they put the treatments through the Scalpel and Skin “Is It Worth It?” test. Because sometimes the answer is surgery. Sometimes it's filler. Sometimes it's laser. And sometimes… it's absolutely not worth it. 👀 Scalpel and Skin is hosted by siblings who combine plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology to break down aesthetic treatments, trends, and procedures—with plenty of sibling arguments along the way. #ScalpelAndSkin #Blepharoplasty #EyelidRejuvenation #UnderEyeTreatment #FacialRejuvenation Follow Scalpel and Skin Instagram: @scalpelandskinpodcast TikTok: @scalpelandskinpodcast Facebook: Scalpel and Skin Podcast Send us the treatments, trends, or questions you want Dr. Algie and Mistica to break down next.
