What The Eyes Say About Your Face

It’s fascinating the little things that surveys and clinical studies throw up.

For instance, there was the study that the Oregon State University conducted which found that global warming in the next forty years would not only melt away snow but would also affect one of the best recreations that the rich enjoy- skiing. Now where would our socialites go when they are bored with the gossip circles!

Cause and effect, everything is the result of something and vice versa- fundamental fact in the universe.

The latest study published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal of the ASPS had me thinking on the same lines. The study which was conducted by Yale University found that when presented with candidate faces digitally altered to show simulated eyelid surgery effects the subjects found these specimens to show greater emotion then generally perceived ideas of human expression.

Thus, if the photo was altered to make the candidate look like he had cosmetic surgery to reduce wrinkles and upper eyelid drooping in order to look less tired, the observer was found to rate the photo for a higher degree of tiredness than he would for a normally tired person.

Absolutely fascinating, this study, with all the people who go in for a cosmetic surgery procedure like blepharoplasty.

Like any other branch of medicine, plastic surgery is forever reinventing its theories and traditions. No fixed course exists for any cosmetic surgery procedure so far and never will.

Remember this when you visit your plastic surgeon for a consultation. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California surgeons employ the firmest of surgery techniques. As much as we love new developments we also value patient safety.
