Revisional ptosis surgery: A story of a girl who underwent revisional surgery. A surgery performed by an outside surgeon goes wrong causing ptosis of the right eyelid. Dr. Kami Parsa was able to completely repair the eyelid.
Dr. Kami Parsa is an Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgeon who specializes exclusively in reconstructive, revisional and cosmetic surgery of the eyes and surrounding tissue. His expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery has made him the choice for patients who have had previous plastic surgery and now need revisional surgery around the eyes. Dr. Parsa has appeared on numerous media outlets around the world, including CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times and the Miami Herald.
In addition to maintaining a busy surgical practice, Dr. Parsa is involved in several humanitarian organizations. He is the President of Universal Children’s Medical Fund, a non-profit organization committed to delivering surgical care and education to children in developing countries. He is an active volunteer surgeon for International Kids Fund and has participated in numerous reconstructive surgeries through this organization. One of these cases was recently featured in an hour-long special entitled A New Face for Marlie on Discovery Health Channel.
What is an oculoplastic surgeon?
In the past ten years the art of plastic surgery has undergone dramatic changes. With advancements in medical knowledge and surgical techniques we have seen an emergence of sub-specialization. The anatomy around the eyes and orbit is both delicate and complex. An oculoplastic surgeon has training in both Ophthalmology and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. The specialty of oculoplastics is an art that combines the meticulous detailed microsurgical techniques of ophthalmology with the aesthetic understanding of plastic surgery.

PLASTIC SURGERY: ASIAN EYELID LECTURE IN HILTON HEAD
http://www.lamfacialplastics.com
Asian eyelid lecture- Dallas facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Sam Lam lectures on the Asian eyelid and focuses on technique as well as a new classification for the aging Asian eyelid which he devised.
Dr. Lam has classified the aging Asian eyelid into three types: the aging Asian eyelid with a natural crease, the aging Asian eyelid without a natural crease, and the aging Asian eyelid that has a previously surgically made crease. Each scenario requires a different approach to attain the best results.
The aging Asian eyelid with a natural crease may be thought of as very similar to a standard Occidental eyelid. However, there is one major distinction. If the extra skin is simply removed from the upper eyelid for the aging Asian eyelid, the crease will oftentimes be made too high, which will appear unnatural. As mentioned, Dr. Lam believes that this higher crease also looks bad on the Caucasian patient but looks exceptionally unnatural in the Asian patient. Accordingly, if Dr. Lam needs to remove some extra skin for the individual with a natural crease, he will almost always perform fat grafting simultaneously to create the natural convexity of a youthful eyelid shape but also to maintain the eyelid crease height. Phrased another way, fat grafting permits maintenance of the eyelid crease height by pushing the eyelid crease back down to a natural height after skin removal alone raises the crease unnaturally.
The aging Asian eyelid that has had a previous surgically created crease can also pose a unique problem. If the crease created in the past was natural, i.e., very little fat removed and a low crease configuration fashioned, then the eyelid can practically be treated the same as an eyelid with a natural pre-existing crease. However, oftentimes, the Asian patient had an aggressive “Westernization” procedure performed many years ago that appeared very unnatural at the time but somehow over time has become increasingly more natural in appearance. The reason for this change is that the loss of fat in the upper eyelid, increase in skin laxity, and brow descent have camouflaged the previously very high crease that was present years ago.
In order to determine whether this is the case, you can simply lift up the eyelid to see where the crease was placed. If the crease appears very deep and high when lifting the eyelid up, most likely the previously made crease is very unnatural. Also, even though the crease has fallen over time, it can still look a bit unnatural because the thickened brow skin that descends downward still does not resemble the thin eyelid skin of a natural, lower crease.
Here is the problem: if the surgeon simply removes upper-eyelid skin without paying attention to the patient’s prior surgery, the result can unmask the previously very high eyelid crease and return the patient to an unnatural result. A browlift can also create the same problem since the elevated brow can expose the former unnatural crease height. A combination of a browlift and upper-eyelid skin removal can be a disaster. Accordingly, there are very few options for such a patient. Fat grafting alone can provide limited but safe rejuvenation of the upper eyelid without causing the problem mentioned above.

Humanitarian Plastic Surgery - Removal of 16lb Facial Growth - Dr. Kami Parsa, Beverly Hills
http://oculoplastic.info
Dr. Kami Parsa an oculoplastic reconstructive surgeon talks to ABC news about a large reconstructive procedure that was featured on the Discovery Health Channel.
16-year-old Marlie Casseus has undergone four surgeries to remove an 16-pound tumor that covered almost her entire face and hampered her breathing. The entire process was chronicled on the Discovery Health Channel’s A New Face for Marlie.
Marlie suffers from McCune-Albright syndrome (polyostotic fibrous dysplasia), a genetic disorder of bones, skin pigmentation and hormonal problems, along with premature puberty. The growth completely disfigured her facial features, causing her to become reclusive to avoid scorn and repulsion in her native country of Haiti. Most people there believed Marlie’s disfigurement was the work of the devil.
With most of her mouth and nasal passages blocked, Marlie was only able to eat and breathe through one very narrow passage. The tumor began to close on her throat and made breathing difficult. It would have also eventually caused blindness.
All four surgeries were performed at the Holtz Children’s Hospital, at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in Florida, and documented for the television program.
The International Kids Fund partnered with Good Samaritan for a Better Life to fund Marlie’s surgeries, which began when she arrived in Miami with a tracheotomy to insert a breathing tube.
After her surgeries, doctors indicated that Marlie might required further cosmetic surgeries at a later date, but said the growth would not return.
The first words Marlie uttered when the tracheotomy was removed were “thank you.”
“I have always believed that one of the most important things you can do with this life is serve others. This is the true passion that continues to drive me professionally and personally, and I feel so fortunate that I can work and make a difference as a surgeon. There are too many areas of the world and in our own country that do not have access to adequate medical care. My initial involvement was with International Kids Foundation at University of Miami. Through this organization I met exemplary people who have dedicated themselves to a lifetime of service and charity. It has been a humbling experience to work with such incredible people. These encounters have been instrumental in my growth as a physician and person. When I moved back to California, I helped to establish the Universal Children’s Fund. Our mission is to make people’s lives a little better in situations that otherwise may not seem possible. Children especially need sustainable hope, and our goal is to provide them with necessary medical and surgical care, helping them to grow into a brighter future.”

PLASTIC SURGERY UPDATE: Dr. lam appears on Good Morning Texas to promote his new book on fat grafting, Complementary Fat Grafting, and to introduce a new aesthetic paradigm. A facelift alone will oftentimes fail to deliver the aesthetic results that one desires. Overpulling and lifting is certainly not the answer. Dr. Lam also rarely performs browlifting anymore. New concepts like framing the eye and restoration of a balanced and youthful volume and shape are the keys to successful and natural facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is an entirely incisionless and permanent result when done by the right surgeon with the right technique. For more information about fat grafting, facial plastic surgery, cosmetic facial surgery, facial rejuvenation, face lifting, face lift alternatives, rhinoplasty etc., please visit http://www.lamfacialplastics.com.
Dr. Lam is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has authored three major facial plastic surgery textbooks, including Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: A Practical and Systematic Guide to the Aging Face, Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face, and the recently published Complementary Fat Grafting. Dr. Lam has also published over 100 book chapters and scientific articles on the subject of facial plastic surgery and lectures nationally almost on a monthly basis on facial plastic surgery and has lectured over 100 times to date.

Facial plastic surgery for the Asian face has gained increasing popularity over the past decade.

Dr. Lam’s 2nd textbook, Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face, describes the many different state-of-the-art methods currently advocated, combining the best from the West and the East.
