Your eyes are the most noticed feature of your face. It’s where “the lovelight shines.” Where “humor twinkles.” And where “anger flashes”. Your eyes make an instant statement about your personality, your age, and the condition of your health. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes the excess fat, muscle, and skin from the eyelids. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer eye area. Eyelid Surgery can be done alone, but is frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a facelift, forehead lift, nose reshaping, or laser skin resurfacing. Facelifts range in size from “mini” to “standard” depending on location and extent of skin laxity. A forehead lift or browlift may smooth out wrinkles and correct drooping brows and heavy lids to provide a younger, friendlier appearance. A mid-facelift or cheek lift can remove facial wrinkles and lift sagging cheeks, while a necklift can tighten loose, sagging skin under your chin. Eyelid surgery can be performed alone, in combination with laser resurfacing, or as part of eyelid surgery to enhance results. What Are The Indications?Blepharoplasty corrects droopy eyelids that may also impair vision. It can also remove puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look worn and tired. Am I A Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?The best candidates are those with droopy upper eyelids or with under-eye bags. What Can I Expect With The Eyelid Surgery Procedure?In upper eyelid surgery, the surgeon first marks the individual lines and creases of the lids in order to keep the scars as invisible as possible along these natural folds. The incision is made, and excess fat, muscle, and loose skin are removed. Fine sutures are used to close the incisions, thereby minimizing the visibility of any scar. In lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon makes the incision in an inconspicuous site along the lashline and smile creases of the lower lid. Excess fat, muscle, and skin are then trimmed away before the incision is closed with fine sutures. Eyelid puffiness caused primarily by excess fat may be corrected by a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The incision in this case is made inside the lower eyelid, and excess fatty material is removed. When sutures are used to close this kind of incision, they are invisible to the eye. They are also self-dissolving and leave no visible scar. Laser treatment is often combined with eyelid surgery to enhance results. What Are The Advantages?Eyelid surgery is extremely popular in our practice. Patient’s are extremely satisfied with the results and note increased self-confidence and feeling more awake and better about themselves. How Long Does It Take?1-3 hours How Many Treatments Are Required?1 How Long Do The Results Last?The results are long lasting usually for many years. Will I Have Pain?As anesthesia is used, there is no pain during the procedure. A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal. Cold compresses, as well as head elevation when lying down, will enhance healing and relieve discomfort. Mild discomfort is usually easily controlled with medications prescribed by your surgeon. When Can I Go Back To Work Or School?You can be back to your normal activities in about 7-10 days.
