EYELID SURGERY

Your eyes play an important role in how others interpret your personality and mood. Unfortunately, repetitive facial expressions and aging can cause the wrong-messaging eye image. Aging can affect the elasticity of your skin, causing drooping eyelids and a tired or sad appearance. Eyelid surgery is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, as our eyes are often important in the first impression of our face.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Because your eyes can affect your interactions with others, improving this area of your face can make a big difference in how people perceive you. Eyelid surgery patients report increased self-confidence as a result of an effective eye contour aesthetic. Blepharoplasty can:

Eliminates under-eye bags.

º Eliminates excess skin.
º Reduces dark under-eye circles.
º Provides a wider viewing angle.
º Reduces puffiness in the eyelid.
º Smoothes wrinkles.
º Reduces the appearance of cavities.

Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Eyelid surgery may involve the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both. I will evaluate your eye area and gather information about your treatment goals to determine the best approach for you.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

If your concerns are concentrated under your eyes, lower eyelid surgery may be the best option. An incision is made along your lower lash line or inside your eyelid to relieve puffiness due to under-eye bags, sagging skin, and herniated fat. If necessary, your lower eyelid muscle can also be tightened.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Problems such as sagging, drooping and wrinkles related to the upper eyelid can make you look more tired and older than you feel. The unwanted appearance is treated by lifting the skin and tissue with a hidden incision in the natural crease of your eyelid. With these changes and muscle adjustments, you get a younger look, as well as an increase in your vision.

Combined Surgery

Blepharoplasty can be performed as a single surgery or combined with a facelift or brow lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. If you have saggy skin or wrinkles in other areas of your face, we will consider this during your exam to see if combining surgeries is a good option for you.

Eyelid Surgery Recovery Process

We will give you detailed post-operative instructions. As part of your recovery, you should apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising. Keeping your head elevated during rest, protecting your eyes from sunlight, and resting your eyes are also important components of a smooth recovery.

The healing process will take 2 to 4 weeks and the incision scars will continue to fade over the next few months. Within a month or two, you will enjoy all the results of the procedure.
