Eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that can improve the appearance of your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and can rejuvenate the appearance of the area around your eyes by: treating the loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelids, removing excess fatty deposits that can give the upper eyelids a puffy appearance, mitigating bags under the eyes, remedying droopiness of the lower eyelids, and addressing excess skin and fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid.
The answer to this question will be based on a number of personal factors. If you’re ready to see if eyelid surgery is right for you, schedule a consultation today.
During your consultation, your doctor will take the time to truly understand your unique needs and goals and to help you to determine if eyelid surgery is right for you. Your doctor will also explain the full procedure to you and will ask you several questions including:
In addition to asking these questions, your Plastic Surgeon will use your consultation to evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors you may have, discuss your eyelid surgery options, examine and measure your face, take photographs for your medical record, recommend a course of treatment, discuss likely outcomes of eyelid surgery and any risks or potential complications, and answer your questions.
Before your eyelid surgery, you may be asked to get lab testing or a medical evaluation, take certain medications or adjust your current medications, stop smoking, and avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding.
We will also give you special instructions about what to do the night before and morning of your surgery and regarding your post-operative care and follow-up appointments.
First, you’ll be administered anesthesia. Your Plastic Surgeon will recommend the anesthesia option that is best for you. Then, you’ll go to sleep while your skilled Plastic Surgeon and well-trained staff perform the eyelid surgery. The exact procedure will vary depending on your unique needs and desired outcomes. Your doctor can walk you through every step of the procedure during your consultation.
Your doctor will give you instructions regarding your post-operative care. Following these instructions will help to ensure that you heal properly and enjoy optimal results.
The results of your eyelid surgery will be long-lasting and, as you heal, you’ll begin to see the fully refined appearance of your new eyelids. Many recipients of eyelid surgery find that the surgery gives them a more rested and youthful appearance and draws attention to the natural beauty of their eyes.
