www.womanthismonth.com 59 January 2015 showcase BEAUTIFUL EYES Woman This Month (WTM): What are your main areas of expertise? Dr Elsanusi Elzaridi (EE): Oculoplastic surgery and facial aesthetic treatment. This includes medical and surgical treatment of problems related to the eyelid area such as puffy and droopy eyes, watery eyes in children and adults, diagnosis and treatment of orbital diseases such as thyroid eye disease, diagnosis and surgical removal and reconstruction of age and sun exposure-related skin lesions such as skin cancer, skin tags and cysts. I also specialise in aesthetic consultation and treatment of an aging and tired face. WTM: What’s the most popular treatment? EE: Surgical correction of droopy and puffy eyelids. Injectable treatments including botulinum toxins and fillers are common. WTM: What complaints do women come to you with? EE: The most common problems women come to me with are puffy eyelids and redundant skin, especially in the upper lids . This is followed by heavy eyebrows, wrinkles around the eyes and loss of cheek volume. WTM: Do you offer any quick day treatments? EE: Most eyelids surgeries including puffy eyelids can be done as a day case under local anaesthetic. In addition, minor procedures such as removal of skin tags and cysts as well as injectables including botulinum toxin and fillers can be performed as office procedures. WTM: What after-care services and consultations do you provide? EE: Many patients, including women, seek advise regarding facial rejuvenation and cosmetic surgery. I like to spend time with my patients understanding their needs and expectations and try to give a realistic outcome depending on the problem and the different ways to treat it. In addition, I provide consultations for patients with other medical eyelid diseases, such as patients with rubbing or lost eyelashes, rehabilitation of the eye after facial palsy, treatment of dry eyes, watery eyes in children and adults and inflammatory orbital disease such as thyroid eye disease.
