Conditions & Treatment
Functional Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
What is functional Upper Blepharoplasty?
Functional upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve vision by addressing droopy lids due to excess skin on the upper eyelids. As we age, the skin around the eyes can sag, sometimes to the extent that it impairs vision, particularly in the peripheral field. In severe cases, the droopy eyelid may cover part or all of the eye, affecting vision. This can interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, or watching television. Unlike cosmetic blepharoplasty, which focuses on appearance, functional blepharoplasty restores proper vision and improves patients' quality of life.Functional Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Cosmetic Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
What is cosmetic upper eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Cosmetic upper blepharoplasty, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery, enhances the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and, in some cases, fat. This surgery helps create a more youthful and refreshed look by addressing issues such as droopy eyelids, puffiness, and subtle asymmetry. The procedure is customised to meet each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals, ensuring every individual achieves natural and optimal results.Cosmetic Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower Blepharoplasty
What is Lower Blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty, also known as under-eye surgery or eye bag removal, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces puffiness and bags under the eyes, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure can be done using two techniques: the internal (transconjunctival) approach and the external approach.Lower Blepharoplasty

Tear Trough Filler
What is a Tear Trough Filler?
Tear trough filler is a cosmetic treatment that reduces hollowness, dark circles, and volume loss under the eyes. When this area, called the tear trough, loses volume, it can make individuals look tired or older. Carefully injected filler restores a smoother, more refreshed appearance, creating a natural transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek for a brighter, more youthful look.Tear Trough Filler

Polynucleotides Treatment
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring DNA fragments vital in cellular repair and regeneration. These molecules act as essential building blocks for healthy skin, helping to restore skin health by promoting tissue regeneration, stimulating collagen production, and improving overall skin elasticity and hydration. As a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment, polynucleotides enhance the skin’s quality, boost collagen levels, and reduce visible signs of ageing, especially in delicate areas like the under-eye region.Polynucleotides Treatment

PRP Treatment
What is PRP treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an advanced, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s natural healing abilities to rejuvenate and enhance your skin’s appearance. PRP treatment involves using a concentrated portion of your blood, rich in platelets—cells vital for healing and tissue repair. When introduced into your skin, these platelets release growth factors that encourage skin cell renewal, stimulate collagen production, and repair damaged tissue. This natural, science-backed approach helps achieve healthier, more radiant skin.PRP Treatment

Filler Complications and Dissolving
What is filler dissolving?
Dermal fillers are widely used to enhance facial features and rejuvenate appearance. However, in some cases, dissolving the filler may be necessary. Fillers can sometimes last longer than expected, remaining in the tissue for years. Whether due to complications, changes in aesthetic preferences, or an overfilled appearance, we offer effective treatment options to restore a more natural look. At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, our Aesthetic Oculoplastic Surgeons is dedicated to delivering tailored filler-dissolving treatments. Whether addressing complications, seeking a more natural look, or simply exploring new aesthetic options, we are here to help you achieve your goals safely and confidently.Filler Complications and Dissolving
