Take a look at some of the great benefits below to see what an eyelid surgeon can do for you.
Correct dropping eyelids, Blepharoplasty:
Your surgeon can restore your eyelids to their former tightened and lifted state for a better appearance or better vision. This surgery includes several parts and can require a bit of recovery time, but most patients report good results in the end.
The surgery includes:
- Removal or repositioning of lower eyelid fat (“eyelid bags”)
- Removal of excess skin on the upper lid
- Removal of excess skin on the lower lid
- The skin of the eyelid is stitched into a more desirable position
- Self dissolving stitches reduce scarring and post operative care needs
Correct Sagging Brows:
An eyelid surgeon may also be able to help you correct sagging brows as well to give you a more youthful appearance and reduce problems in the eye area. This surgery, while not involving the eyelids directly still involves the eye area. This surgery may also be a part of blepharoplasty to reduce the amount of scarring and skin that needs to be removed from the upper eyelids by lifting the skin of the forehead first.
This surgery includes:
- Removal of excess forehead skin
- May be combined with blepharoplasty for better results.
- Natural creases in the skin are followed for minimal scarring
Correct cosmetic effects of drooping upper eyelids, Ptosis:
This surgery is for those experiencing cosmetic issues with drooping eyelids rather than a medical or visual issue. These surgeries are often not covered by insurance because they are for cosmetic purposes alone. The recovery is quite quick from this surgery though and it is much less intense than Blepharoplasty.
This Surgery Includes:
- Repositioning of the upper eyelids
- A correction of the symmetry between the eyelids for a better facial appearance
- Self dissolving stitches again for faster recovery and reduced scarring
