Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a procedure designed to remove excess skin, and sometimes fat, from the upper and/or lower eyelid area to improve one’s appearance. On the upper eyelid, it is used to correct skin that either droops or bulges. For example, eyelid skin loses elasticity as one ages and may begin to impair eyesight as it droops over the eyelashes or some eyelids bulge with fat and lack a sharp eyelid crease. Both of these conditions are easily corrected with Upper Eyelid Surgery.
Lower Eyelid Surgery is usually performed to correct the appearance of “bags” under the eyes due to aging. The eyes are surrounded by protecting fat and the eyelid muscles weaken with age.
These changes in appearance give you a tired and older look. While Eyelid Surgery(Blepharoplasty)does not correct crow’s feet, other wrinkles or dark circles, nor does it alter your ethnic or racial heritage; it is a simple procedure that will give you amazing results.
When Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is combined with a Brow Lift or a Facelift, the results can be dramatic.
Who is the best Candidate for Eyelid surgery?
The best candidates for Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) are men and women who are physically healthy, with realistic expectations.
Anesthesia Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is typically performed using local anesthesia which numbs the area around your eyes combined with an oral or intravenous sedative that adds to your comfort.
Surgery Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) usually takes one or two hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. Basically, for Upper Eyelid Surgery, incisions are made following the natural crease of your eyelids and in Lower Eyelid Surgery, an incision is made just below your lower lashes. Working through these incisions, skin is separated from underlying fatty tissue and muscle. Excess skin and fat may be removed. The incisions are then closed with very fine sutures, which will by removed a few days later.
After Eyelid surgery
Bandages may, or may not, be applied. Your eyelids may feel tight. Your Plastic Surgeon will give you specific instructions on your care. Healing is gradual, however, your scars will eventually fade from a red color to a thin, almost invisible white line. The positive result of your Eyelid Surgery(Blepharoplasty) is a more vital and youthful look that is long-lasting.
