Hering’s Law for the eyelids: There is reflexive descent of the contralateral upper eyelid after the ipsilateral surgical correction of unilateral ptosis. Hering’s law is explained by considering the two eyes as paired organs and it follows that the muscles moving it will work in co-ordination.

When one doesn’t want to stare!
The staring look of eyelid retraction in TED can be very awkward for patients while meeting people and in photos of themselves. This eyelid malposition can be easily corrected with a 30 minute procedure done under local anaesthesia with very predictable outcomes. This lady was very pleased with the outcome of the surgery as she’s back to her beautiful Pre-TED self.

Droopy Eyelid Surgery or Ptosis correction surgery is more art than science. I’m sure all Oculoplastic Surgeons agree it is a challenge to treat patients with ptosis. Each case is so different that it is almost feels like you are starting from scratch. While challenging, it is also among the most satisfying Oculoplastic conditions to treat.
The Scar Cocktail!
Facial Trauma can be damaging with tissue loss. Despite accurate and meticulous reconstruction, the scarring can be severe in the face. Scar modulation is an essential part of post trauma care and I often advise patients as much when they come with traumatic injuries of the face.
Eyebags of Worry- Trans-conjunctival Lower lid Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is the removal and repositioning of the skin, muscle and fat of the upper and/or lower eyelid. In the lower eyelid the incision is made along the skin just beneath the eyelashes or in the moist surface of the eyelid known as conjunctiva. This involves repositioning of prolapsed orbital fat on both sides by draping the fat to the orbital rim area- which gives an aesthetically better appearance. This technique is done with an incision on the inside of the eyelid without a skin incision making the surgery “scarless”.

Blepharoplasty is the removal and repositioning of the skin, muscle and fat of the upper and/or lower eyelid. In the upper eyelid the incision is made and hidden in the natural lid crease. In the lower eyelid the incision is made along the skin just beneath the eyelashes or in the moist surface of the eyelid known as conjunctiva.
