Eyelid Surgery/ Blepharoplasty
Do
you see tired, droopy eyes looking back at you from the mirror?
The loose skin over your eyes and the puffy pads under your eyes make
you look more tired and older than you feel inside. Eyelid
surgery or blepharoplasty corrects sagging skin and removes the fatty
pouches above and beneath the eyes.
Eyelid
surgery is done as an outpatient procedure under twilight sedation. To
remove the fat pads from below the eyes, an incision is placed just
inside the lower eyelid. The skin of the lower eyelid is then
treated with the laser to remove the fine wrinkles or a pinch of excess
skin may be removed. To correct the upper eyelid, fine incisions
are placed in the natural crease above each eye and a thin crescent of
excess skin and muscle is removed. A browlift or forehead lift
is often done in conjunction with upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
