At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, where is the eyelid surgery performed?

Eyelid surgery is performed at the state of the art surgical facilities located at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. Our operating room is fully equipped with the latest in cosmetic surgical technology, rivaling some of the best surgical centres in the world.

During your consultation with the cosmetic surgeon scheduled to perform your eyelid surgery, you may visit the operating room (if there’s no surgery in progress at the time, of course!). Adjacent to the OR is a recovery room where you’ll be taken so your cosmetic surgeon and registered nurses can monitor your progress immediately following surgery.

This week, we’ve got another Q&A scheduled. This time, we’ll be focusing on Eyelid Surgery at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic.

Our first question is this:

What’s a “double” eyelid?

Many people, particularly those originating from East Asia, do not have a crease in the upper eyelid. As a result, their eyes may appear smaller or less bright than those who do have this crease. This crease in the upper eyelids is also known as a double eyelid. A double eyelid is one aesthetic improvement achieved by blepharoplasty.

I’m getting breast augmentation and I’ve been told not to eat anything the night before surgery. Why is this?

Dr. Yaz says
Any surgery involving the administration of anesthesia requires patients to avoid eating food the night before the day of surgery. Usually, it is advised that no food is consumed after midnight. It is vital that this advice be followed, as it could be a matter of life or death.

During surgery, a patient may bring up undigested food. The vomit may not be totally expelled through the mouth and can be breathed in, resulting in Aspiration Pneumonia. Aspiration Pneumonia occurs when the lungs and bronchial tubes become inflamed or infected by foreign matter. Oxgyen is prevented from entering the body, leading to suffocation.

As a result, not eating anything after midnight is one of the most important things to follow when preparing for any surgery. It is also highly recommended that the food you do eat before midnight is light so it doesn’t sit in your stomach.

It’s Friday, and today we come to the end of showcasing your questions about Laser Skin Tightening at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. If you have any questions that weren’t covered this week, please contact us through this blog or at 416-221-5554 and we’ll be happy to provide you with a response!

How many sessions will I need?

Like all cosmetic treatments, the number of sessions depends on what problem you are targeting, the extent of correction, and the overall health of your skin. Laser Skin Tightening has the ability to correct a number of problems, including wrinkles, creases, lax skin, stretch marks and more. As a result, the number of sessions varies.

Please call us to book your consultation to determine the number of sessions you would require for your specific problem. You can reach us at 416-221-5554, or through this blog.

Here’s today’s question about removing stretch marks with Laser Skin Tightening.

I have stretch marks that have faded into shiny lines. Can Laser Skin Tightening get rid of them?

Laser Skin Tightening achieves the best results on stretch marks that are relatively “new”, when they’re still reddish, purplish or darker coloured than the rest of the skin. However, the procedure may still be performed on older stretch marks, when they fade into silvery or pale lines. In this situation, the results may not be as effective and more sessions may be required.

In general, all non-invasive techniques of stretch mark removal are best performed on new stretch marks.

I want to know the side effects of Laser Skin Tightening.

There are few side effects, and they typically are far less extensive than those resulting from other Laser Skin Tightening methods.

Typical side effects that can occur include tightness and redness in the treated area. However, this is temporary and should fade in the hours following a session. The procedure has been designed to not affect the top layer of skin, which is why there are so few side effects.
