Eyes are often the first feature to show signs of ageing and can distort our whole appearance.
Non-surgical Brow Lift/Reshaping
Dr Liew and his specialist facial practitioners at Shape Clinic, have a comprehensive understanding of facial muscle dynamics. Our non-surgical brow procedures involve not simply elevating the brow but also reshaping the brow line to further enhance facial features, open up the eyes and create a more refreshed and energised appearance.
This is an ideal alternative for patients who do not require or are not ready for surgery.
Procedure: Around 15 minutes. Involves a few injections of anti-wrinkle and/or dermal filler into the eyebrow region.
Downtime: None
Duration: 4 - 15 months (depending on technique, products and individual variations)
Upper Eyel Lift for Hollow eyes
Eyes are often the first feature to show signs of ageing and can distort our whole appearance. Typically there are two ageing patterns in the upper eyelids. They either collapse and sag making them appear tired and sad - or they lose volume – giving the eyes a sunken, hollow look.
For patients with droopy eyelids, surgery in the form of removing excess skin (blepharoplasty: refer Eye Lift Surgery section for details) is the best option.
However, for those with sunken, hollow eyelids, brow lift or eye lift surgery can worsen the patient’s appearance by giving them a higher brow arch without restoring the smoother youthful curvature of the eyelid.
For this group Dr Liew has pioneered the * world’s first non-surgical eye lift in a syringe. Using a combination of new generation fillers as well as anti-wrinkle injections, this non-surgical “eye lift’ adds volume to the upper eyelid and temple.
This dramatically transforms the appearance, restoring a youthful sparkle to the eyes and beautifying the whole face. The results last at least 3 to 4 years..
Procedure: 20 minutes
Downtime: 24 hours. Minor bruising and swelling may be expected.
Duration: 1 - 4 years (depending on type of dermal fillers used and individual variation)
*This pioneering technique by Dr Liew has been published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal,Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2010
Lower Eye Lift
The signs of ageing to our lower eyelids vary between individuals. As the skin becomes thinner, the eyelid can become baggy or drop vertically and the junction between eyelid and cheek loses its youthful curvature. As a result, the eyes look tired, the shadow under the eye is darker and the groove (tear-trough) deformity is deeper.
For patients not ready or willing to undergo surgery, dermal fillers can be used to produce a very effective, safe and natural transformation. In some cases, dermal fillers are the only treatment option.
Procedure time: 30 minutes
Downtime: 24 hours. Bruising and swelling may occur
Duration: 2 - 4 years
