Blepharoplasty and Finger Tumor Removal
A 54-year-old businessman came to Redefine, Gachibowli with two separate concerns: droopy eyelids that made him look tired all the time, and a small growth on his right index finger that had been there for months. Rather than two separate surgeries and two separate recoveries, Dr. Harikiran Chekuri recommended combining both procedures under a single anesthesia session. The eyelid surgery refreshed his appearance, the finger tumor was removed cleanly, and he recovered from both at once.
PATIENT PROFILE
THE PROBLEM
The Eyelids
His upper eyelids had started to droop over the past few years. It happens with age. The skin loses elasticity, the muscles weaken a bit, and the eyelids start to sag. For him, this meant looking tired even when he was well-rested. People asked if he was feeling okay when he felt perfectly fine. The puffiness made it worse. He also noticed some heaviness in his upper lids by the end of the day.
The Finger
There was a small lump on his right index finger. It had been there for several months, slowly getting bigger. It did not hurt, but it was noticeable. As a businessman who shakes hands often and uses his hands constantly, having a visible growth was awkward. He wanted it removed and wanted to make sure it was nothing serious.
CONSULTATION & TREATMENT PLAN
WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION
Dr. Harikiran Chekuri examined both concerns during a single consultation:
- Upper eyelid skin excess measured on both sides
- Degree of ptosis (drooping) assessed
- Puffiness and fat deposits around the eyes noted
- Finger tumor size, location, and mobility examined
- Clinical impression suggested a benign growth
- Medical fitness confirmed for combined surgery
WHY MICROBLADING WAS CHOSEN
-
Single anesthesia session avoids the risks of two separate surgeries
-
One recovery period instead of two
-
Less time off work for a busy professional
- Both procedures are straightforward and compatible
INTRAOPERATIVE PHOTOS
Finger Tumor Excision
The image below shows the benign tumor being carefully excised from the right index finger. The growth is being separated from the surrounding tissue with minimal disruption to the finger’s normal structures.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
These images show the patient immediately after the blepharoplasty procedure while still under anesthesia. Small dressings cover the incision sites on both upper eyelids. The incisions were placed in the natural eyelid crease so scars will be hidden once healed.
