Asymmetrical Eyelids: Congenital Causes, Post-Blepharoplasty Issues, and How to Correct Them
Uneven eyelids occur when the two eyelid creases differ in height or definition, or when a crease is present on only one side; this can sometimes be caused by mild unilateral ptosis. Eyes are rarely completely symmetrical to begin with—correction is only recommended when the asymmetry is noticeable and bothersome.
Sagging Eyebrows, Tired Eyes, and Heavy Upper Eyelid Skin: How to Distinguish Them from Ptosis, and Brow Lift Options
Eyebrow ptosis occurs when the brows descend below the orbital rim with age, weighing down the upper eyelid skin and creating a heavy, tired appearance. Many people assume they need an upper blepharoplasty, but the root cause actually lies in the brow.
Small, Short Eyes with Epicanthic Folds: When to Perform Epicanthoplasty vs. When Double Eyelid Surgery Alone Is Enough
An epicanthal fold is a skin fold at the inner corner of the eye that partially covers the palpebral fissure, making the eyes appear shorter and spaced further apart. This is a common feature among East Asians; intervention is only considered when the fold covers a significant portion and you desire longer, more defined eyes.
Sunken eyes, hollow eye sockets, and deep tear troughs: why your eyes look tired and how fat repositioning differs from dermal fillers
Sunken eye sockets and deep tear troughs are caused by periorbital volume loss—leading to hollow upper eyelids and dark under-eye shadows despite adequate sleep. The primary causes include the atrophy or displacement of periorbital fat due to aging, or innate anatomical structure.
Monolids vs. Hidden Double Eyelids: What’s the Difference, and Who Should Choose Non-Incisional vs. Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery?
Monolids lack a crease on the upper eyelid, while hidden double eyelids have a crease that is obscured by skin when the eyes are open. Both are completely normal anatomical variations—intervention is only considered if you desire a more defined crease or if the skin coverage makes your eyes appear heavy.
Redness, Shininess, and Visible Implant After Rhinoplasty: Signs of Skin Thinning and When to Seek Early Intervention
A shiny, red nasal tip or bridge with visible implant contours beneath the skin after rhinoplasty is a sign of progressive skin thinning caused by implant pressure. This is not a condition that will "resolve on its own"—the longer it is left untreated, the harder it is to preserve the skin.
Wide, Flaring Alar Base and Enlarged Nostrils: When to Choose Alar Base Reduction vs. Rhinoplasty Alone
Flared nasal alae occur when the width of the alar base exceeds the intercanthal distance, often accompanied by enlarged nostrils or thick alar bases. Not every case requires alar base reduction—elevating the nasal tip alone can sometimes naturally slim down the alar width.
Short, Upturned Nose and Nostril Show: Structural Causes and Nasal Tip Lengthening
A short, upturned nose occurs when the nasal tip is excessively rotated upward, resulting in excessive nostril show on frontal view and an obtuse nasolabial angle. This is typically caused by an underdeveloped columella and caudal septum, or by capsular contracture following previous rhinoplasty.
Dorsal Hump (Hump Nose): Why It Is Prominent in Profile View, When Correction Is Needed, and Treatment Options
A dorsal hump is a bony-cartilaginous protrusion along the nasal bridge that rises above the straight line connecting the radix to the nasal tip, most noticeable from the profile view. This is a structural feature that does not resolve on its own with age.
Sagging, Lax Facial Skin: When Is a Thread Lift Enough, and When Is a Surgical Facelift Needed?
Deep nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, a double chin, and an undefined jawline are signs of skin and supporting tissues sagging with age. From HIFU and thread lifts to facelifts — each degree of laxity requires the right solution, and choosing the wrong level is simply a waste of money.
Low Bridge, Bulbous Tip, Wide Alar Base: The Right Technique for Every Nose Type
Vietnamese nasal anatomy often features a low bridge, a bulbous nasal tip, wide alar bases, and thick skin. Each characteristic requires a distinct technique—dorsal augmentation alone will not refine the tip, and alar reduction is a separate procedure.
Crooked Nose After Rhinoplasty: Swelling vs. True Deviation, and When to Seek Immediate Follow-Up
During the first few weeks after rhinoplasty, the nose may appear asymmetrical due to uneven swelling—this usually resolves on its own. True deviation caused by implant displacement, cartilage warping, or improper splinting requires an early evaluation by a surgeon and can sometimes be corrected non-surgically.
Revision Rhinoplasty for Failed Nose Jobs: Warning Signs, Ideal Timing, and Essential Facts to Know Before Deciding
A deviated nose, redness, visible implant contour, capsular contracture, or breathing difficulties after a rhinoplasty are common reasons for revision. Revision surgery is inherently more complex than the primary procedure due to preexisting scar tissue—requiring sufficient healing time, the right surgeon, and realistic expectations.
Age-Related Upper Eyelid Laxity: Should You Get Blepharoplasty, and How to Distinguish It from Ptosis and Brow Ptosis?
After 40, upper eyelid skin loses elasticity and creates excess folds that hood over the eyelid crease, making the eyes look heavy and tired. Upper blepharoplasty to remove excess skin is commonly considered—yet it must be clearly distinguished from ptosis and brow ptosis, as each condition requires a different approach.
Eye Bags vs. Dark Circles: Different Causes, Different Treatments
Eye bags are caused by protruding orbital fat or sagging lower eyelid skin, while dark circles refer to darkened skin caused by pigmentation, vascular congestion, or structural shadowing. Though appearing in the same area, their underlying causes are entirely different, meaning their treatments—ranging from skincare to surgery—are distinct as well.
Ptosis: How It Differs from Cosmetic Blepharoplasty and When Treatment Is Needed
Ptosis occurs when the upper eyelid margin droops, covering the pupil due to a weakened levator muscle—this is a functional issue, not a matter of the eyelid crease. Conventional double eyelid surgery cannot resolve this condition; a prior assessment of the levator muscle is required.
Methods & devices
Mechanism, procedure, risks and who should not have it — to understand before you decide.
Collagen Thread Lifting and Mini Facelift: How They Elevate Tissue, Who is a Good Candidate for Thread Lifting, and When is Surgery Required?
Thread lifting involves inserting barbed or smooth self-dissolving threads into the subcutaneous tissue to lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen production. It is effective for mild to moderate sagging; for significant sagging, surgical facelift is required.
Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty: Indications, Pros, Cons, and the Cartilage Harvesting Procedure
Costal cartilage provides sufficient volume and structural rigidity to reconstruct the nasal framework in complex cases: revision rhinoplasty, contracted/short noses, and cases requiring significant nasal lengthening. It is not the default choice for simple, primary rhinoplasty.
Nasal Wing Reduction (Alar Plasty): Techniques, Who Needs It, Incision Locations, and Risks of Asymmetrical Nostrils
Nasal wing reduction involves removing excess skin and soft tissue at the base of the nostrils or the nasal floor to create a slimmer appearance and balanced nostrils. This is a minor procedure, but it can be challenging to correct if too much is removed — the principle is to cut just enough.
Revision Rhinoplasty (Secondary Rhinoplasty): When It Is Needed, Why It Is More Challenging, and the Procedure at BonBoz
Revision rhinoplasty addresses complications from previous nose surgeries, such as deviation, visible implants, redness, contracture, infection, or unsatisfactory aesthetic results. The procedure is more complex than primary surgery due to scar tissue, thinned soft tissue, and previously used autologous cartilage.
Ptosis Correction for Levator Muscle Weakness and Laxity (Reborn Eyes): How It Differs from Cosmetic Blepharoplasty, Candidates, and Risks
Ptosis caused by a weak levator muscle or aponeurotic laxity requires muscle adjustment surgery to properly elevate the eyelid margin—fundamentally different from cosmetic blepharoplasty, which only removes excess skin. This is a functional procedure that requires a thorough diagnostic evaluation.
Short-Incision Brow Lift (Mini 5D, BonBoz Brow): Lifting Drooping Brows and Correcting Lateral Eyelid Skin Laxity — Procedure and Risks
A short-incision brow lift elevates and secures sagging eyebrows through a fine incision placed along the upper border of the eyebrow, effectively addressing excess skin at the outer corners of the eyes. This is an essential procedure performed either prior to or alongside blepharoplasty when brow ptosis is present.
Medial Epicanthoplasty (InnerEyes): Epicanthal Fold Correction Techniques, Elongation Limits, and Corner Scar Care
Medial epicanthoplasty is a minor surgical procedure that rearranges the skin fold at the inner corner of the eye (epicanthic fold) to reveal more of the lacrimal caruncle, lengthen the palpebral fissure by a few millimeters, and create the appearance of closer-set eyes. The results are inherently limited by individual anatomical structure.
Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning: Addressing Eye Bags and Tear Troughs in a Single Procedure — Mechanism, Indications, and Risks
Fat repositioning shifts protruding lower eyelid fat pads to fill the hollow tear troughs beneath, rather than removing them. This simultaneously addresses both excess and deficiency around the eyes using your own tissue.
Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty (Mini-Endoscopic): Removing Eye Bags Without External Incisions — Who Is It For?
Transconjunctival lower eyelid fat removal accesses the fat pads from the inner surface of the eyelid, leaving no external skin incisions. It is ideal for under-eye bags in individuals with good skin elasticity; it does not address excess skin.
Lower Blepharoplasty for Excess Skin Removal: When Is It Needed Instead of Fat Removal Alone, Procedure Details, and the Risk of Ectropion / Lower Eyelid Malposition
Lower eyelid skin excision addresses sagging, wrinkled under-eye skin caused by aging through an incision placed right along the lower lash line, which may also be combined with fat pad management. It is indicated for individuals whose primary concern is excess skin, typically aged 45–70.
Full-Incision Blepharoplasty for Excess Skin and Fat Removal: Procedure, Indications for Aging Eyelids, and Essential Risks to Know
Full-incision upper blepharoplasty uses an incision along the length of the eyelid crease to remove excess skin, address fat, and create a stable crease. It is the foundational technique for aging and puffy upper eyelids—not a procedure for 'eye enlargement.'
Mini-Incision Blepharoplasty (Mini Line): Technique, Ideal Candidates, and How It Differs from Full-Incision Blepharoplasty
Mini Line blepharoplasty uses an incision measuring approximately two-thirds the length of the eyelid to remove a moderate amount of excess skin and secure the eyelid crease. Positioned between non-incisional double eyelid surgery and full-incision blepharoplasty, it offers longer-lasting results than the suture technique while being less invasive than the full-incision approach.
Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery (Suture Method): Procedure, Ideal Candidates, Longevity, and When to Choose Incisional Blepharoplasty Instead
Non-incisional double eyelid surgery creates a double eyelid crease by using several sutures to connect the eyelid skin to the levator muscle, without skin excision. It is suitable for younger individuals with minimal excess skin and fat; the crease may gradually fade over time in individuals with thicker eyelid fat.
Comprehensive Structural Rhinoplasty: Reconstructing the Nasal Framework with Autologous Cartilage — for Complex Cases and Revision Rhinoplasty
Comprehensive structure for reconstructing the nasal framework using autologous cartilage (septum, ear, rib): elongating a short nose, elevating a bulbous tip, correcting a botched nose job. The surgery takes longer, recovery is prolonged, and requires an experienced surgeon — in return, it can address cases that other techniques cannot handle.
Semi-Structural Rhinoplasty: Bridge Augmentation + Tip Reshaping, Preserving the Native Framework — When Is It the Right Choice?
Semi-structural rhinoplasty elevates the nasal bridge with synthetic implants, reconstructs the columella, and reshapes the nasal tip using autologous cartilage while preserving the native nasal framework—bridging the gap between cartilage-grafted and full structural rhinoplasty in terms of invasiveness, recovery time, and cost.
Cartilage-grafted rhinoplasty: synthetic implant + autologous cartilage tip graft — suitable candidates and limitations
Dorsal augmentation using synthetic implants combined with tip graft coverage using ear cartilage (or Megaderm) prevents excessive tension on the nasal tip skin—a popular technique for low nasal bridges with a relatively well-defined tip and moderate skin thickness. This method cannot correct a bulbous or severely short, upturned tip.

From our doctors
How Long After Rhinoplasty Can You Wear Makeup and Glasses? A Detailed Guide
You may apply light makeup after 2–3 weeks, but wearing glasses should be avoided for the entire first month, as recommended by the clinic. However, it is essential to strictly follow your doctor's instructions to avoid compromising the surgical results.
What Time of Year Should You Avoid Rhinoplasty? A Guide from BonBoz
Rhinoplasty should be avoided during the hot and humid summer months, as well as busy periods when post-operative care is difficult to manage. October–November is the ideal time.
Can Uneven Eyelids After Blepharoplasty Self-Correct? A Detailed Explanation
While asymmetrical eyelids after surgery may partially self-correct, waiting for this to happen is not the best option. You should schedule a follow-up consultation so the doctor can evaluate your condition and provide timely intervention.
Is it normal to experience watery eyes after double eyelid surgery?
Watery eyes after double eyelid surgery are a normal reaction during the recovery process. However, you need to know when to contact your doctor.
Should You Get a Rhinoplasty? A Detailed Guide from BonBoz Clinic
Nose surgery is a personal decision, but if you are looking to enhance your nasal shape to boost your confidence and have thoroughly researched the procedure, this could be a choice well worth considering.
Can I Wear Eye Makeup After Double Eyelid Surgery? When Is It Safe?
After eyelid surgery, you should avoid eye makeup for at least 2-3 weeks to allow the incision to heal properly. After suture removal (day 7), you can gradually apply light face makeup, ensuring you avoid the eye area.
