Cosmetic Eye Surgery

Beautiful eyes are the secret to a person’s beauty, and because each eye has its own unique beauty, at the Moatassem European eye center we do not seek to change the shape and structure of the eye. Instead, we aim to enhance the beauty of the eye and correct any issues affecting it through advanced cosmetic eye surgery, the most popular and successful medical procedure in our center thanks to the extensive experience of Dr. Ahmed El-Moatassem in improving the eye’s function, performance, and appearance, which is why thousands of patients have left our center with smiles on their faces after a simple procedure that means a lot to them.

Cosmetic Eye Surgery

Cosmetic eye surgery is a set of medical therapeutic and cosmetic procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance and beauty of the eye by addressing injuries, medical issues, and congenital problems that result in flaws in the eye’s appearance.

There is no single surgery for cosmetic eye enhancement; it can involve adjusting eyelid shape, treating strabismus, filling in surrounding hollows, or excising surrounding sacs. Each of these procedures, individually or combined, is relied upon to achieve the most beautiful and functional outcome possible. It is worth noting that most cosmetic eye surgeries focus on the eye’s accessories and surrounding parts because they directly impact the eye’s appearance.

Eye Cosmetic Procedures in Dubai

There are dozens of types and techniques used for enhancing the eyes in the United Arab Emirates. At Moatassem European eye center, we follow the safest and most effective methods. Some of the prominent procedures include:

Hollow Eyes plastic surgery

Hollow eyes plastic surgery to eyes with minimal protrusion, appearing closer to the skull compared to other facial features. These eyes give a tired appearance and make one look older. Hollow eyes can result from factors like lack of sleep, fatigue, and dryness.

In hollow eyes rejuvenation, the focus is on enhancing the eyes’ beauty by injecting specialized substances like therapeutic fillers and filling materials such as collagen and hyaluronic acid into the hollow area. This gives the eye area vitality, beauty, and a more youthful appearance.

Lined eye plastic surgery

Lined eye refers to puffy eyelids that seem to rest on a thick cushion of tissue. Medically, periorbital fat surrounds bags and pockets of fat glands located in the eyelids. These glands secrete oils and dense substances responsible for moisturizing and lubricating the eye, facilitating eyelid movement. However, excess secretion due to gland inflammation or blockage caused by eye sensitivity, pollution, infection, can lead to fat accumulation under the eyelid, forming a painless but noticeable mass.

On the other hand, periorbital fat can also result from increased fluid retention in the body, usually not a medical condition requiring urgent treatment, but periorbital fat surgery is typically sought for cosmetic reasons.

Small Eye Cosmetic Surgery

Small or narrow eyes are a normal and healthy eye shape, but some individuals prefer larger, wider eyes. This condition can be treated by widening the distance between the eyelids to enhance the appearance of the eyes.

Protruding Eyes Cosmetic Surgery

Protruding eyes refer to eyes that bulge significantly outward, affecting the beauty of the eye and face. This condition can lead to chronic eye dryness, corneal infections, and ulcers. Therefore, this cosmetic procedure also serves as a therapeutic intervention.

During this procedure, the eye is repositioned within the bony orbit of the skull, in addition to tightening or repositioning the muscles and tendons that control eye movement to enhance proper eye placement. In some cases, other approaches can be taken to correct protruding eyes, such as reducing the pressure within the eye socket by expanding the space and removing excess fat to make room for proper eye positioning.

Eyelid Lift Surgery in Dubai

Eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is the most popular and widely performed procedure in recent years. This surgery involves removing excess skin or fat from the eyelids, as well as addressing any sagging or drooping. Wrinkles in the eyelids can also be smoothed out to improve vision and overall aesthetic appearance. Drooping eyelids can sometimes obstruct vision and cause visual impairment in severe cases.

There are various reasons for sagging eyelids, such as genetics, neurological conditions, weakened muscles controlling upper eyelid movement, and accumulation of fat in the eyelids as individuals age, leading to asymmetrical eyes and vision problems. Dr. Ahmed El-Moatassem is experienced in correcting this common condition through tightening the levator muscles of the eyelids, excising excess skin, addressing sagging, and removing accumulated fat using either laser technology or traditional surgery methods. Eyelid lift procedures are typically categorized into two types:

• Upper Eyelid Lift: In this surgery, the surgeon removes excess skin, fat, and any cysts causing heaviness from the upper eyelid. This procedure effectively eliminates the appearance of protruding upper eyelids, giving a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
• Lower Eyelid Lift: Similar to the approach taken in upper eyelid surgery, the lower eyelid lift involves removing lower eye bags, excising excess skin, or filling the hollow area beneath the eye to enhance the appearance of the lower eyelid region.

Eye Strabismus Surgery

Strabismus is one of the most common eye disorders, characterized by a loss of normal coordination between the axes of vision in the eyes. One eye may deviate directly while the other eye turns in a different direction, resulting in a disruption in the coordinated movement of the eyes.

Apart from the aesthetic aspect of having completely asymmetrical eyes, there is a functional necessity to treat strabismus. Over time, untreated strabismus can lead to lazy eye and vision disturbances due to a disruption in the transmission of visual signals to the brain. Strabismus surgery involves tightening and weakening the muscles and nerves around the eye to regulate the movement of the eyes and align them.

My Experience with Eyelid Surgery

We bring to you a firsthand account from inside the Moatassem European eye center of one patient who underwent eyelid cosmetic surgery under the supervision of Dr. Ahmed and noticed truly amazing results. Follow along with us:

“Since my childhood, I have been suffering from severe hooded eyelids to the extent that some specialists told me that my eyelids are excessively hooded, without any pain or functional discomfort.

However, the appearance of my eyes always affected me.

Most of my friends thought I looked tired or hadn’t gotten enough sleep, or even that I had been crying.

But these assumptions were nothing but unjustified genetic factors,

which prompted me to thoroughly search for the best eye cosmetic surgeon in Dubai.

According to opinions and actual experiences, Dr Ahmed El-Moatassem’s name was repeatedly mentioned as an excellent doctor capable of excelling in enhancing the beauty of his patients’ eyes.

So, I visited the Moatassem European eye center located in the heart of Dubai,

met Dr. Ahmed for a medical consultation, where he discussed all the details with me,

explained the surgical plan and its expectations, and the full treatment plan.

Dr. Ahmed examined my eyes to ensure their suitability for surgery, and from the very first moment,

I felt like I was in the right place and was convinced to proceed with the surgery at this center.

and I asked Dr. Ahmed to schedule the operation, which he did with the help of the administrative staff.

I noticed that the patient appointment schedule was busier than I had ever seen before, and then Dr. Ahmed gave me a set of instructions that I needed to follow before and after the surgery.

The actual experience of cosmetic eye surgery

On the day of the operation, I headed to the center early in the morning,

my eyes were examined again, and I went to a room designated for changing into the operation gown.

I entered the operating room, which was extremely clean with the scent of disinfectants.

The doctor administered general anesthesia, and I drifted into a deep sleep.

After several hours, I woke up with medical bandages and sutures on my eyelids.

The surgical procedure was successful, thanks to Allah and Dr. Ahmed’s skill.

I won’t hide from you that the initial appearance of my eyes was somewhat concerning,

but Professor Ahmed’s words and his promising outlook after several weeks gave me some comfort.

I experienced pain and discomfort in the initial days, but day by day, the situation improved,

and the results of the surgery became more apparent.

After a month of surgery, my eyes became bright and natural, free from bruises and discoloration, they looked wonderful.

My eyelids were natural without swelling or sagging, my eyes became more beautiful,

and I started to see everything around me in a more beautiful light.

No matter how many words of praise and thanks I write to Dr. Ahmed El-Moatassem, it will never be enough.”

Signs of Eyelid Lift Surgery Failure

Eyelid lift surgery is a simple and 100% successful surgery Moatassem European eye center performed by Dr. Ahmed El-Moatassem.

However, this simplicity and success rate do not apply to other medical centers,

where the failure rates of this surgery often rise, leading to a range of explicit signs of failure.

These signs include the eyes looking worse after surgery, inability to close the eyelids during sleep, eye bleeding, vision loss, and other symptoms.

It is essential to differentiate between signs of eyelid lift surgery failure and the operation’s complications and recoverable side effects over time.

These complications may include:

• Difficulty closing the eyelids only in the early days.
• Formation of blood clots in the white of the eye near the site of sutures.
• Minor eye bleeding.
• Temporary bruising and blueness around the eye.
• Eye dryness.

Appearance of the Eye Following Eyelid Lift Surgery

The immediate appearance of the eye after eyelid lift surgery is not necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing, as the surgery’s effects may last for several weeks.

The surgical incision might be slightly visible but is usually biodegradable and fades away after a few days.

The eye may appear surrounded by blue and purple bruises, as well as swelling and puffiness around the eyes,

which is a very normal side effect. The speed of recovery varies from one patient to another,

but after two to three weeks, the eye starts to take on its final, more beautiful shape.
