There Are Many Benefits To Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are often referred to as the "windows to the soul," but they are also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Fortunately, eyelid rejuvenation surgery, or blepharoplasty, offers a solution.

  • Youthful Appearance: Eyelid surgery can create a more youthful and refreshed look by addressing sagging skin, wrinkles, and puffiness.
  • Enhanced Vision: The procedure can improve vision by removing excess skin that may obstruct the visual field.
  • Boosted Confidence: Achieving a more alert and rested appearance often leads to increased self-confidence.
  • Natural Results: When performed conservatively, eyelid surgery results in a natural, harmonious appearance.
  • Customization: Your procedure will be tailored to your individual needs, addressing specific concerns on the upper or lower eyelids.
  • Long-Lasting: Results can last for many years, making it a cost-effective investment in one's appearance.
  • Minimal Scarring: Small, discreet incisions minimize visible scarring, ensuring a subtle enhancement.
  • Complementary: Eyelid surgery can be combined with other facial procedures for a comprehensive rejuvenation.

Dr. Lisa Learn And Her Team Are Skilled In Blepharoplasty Techniques

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates both the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the surrounding areas. The procedure can reduce puffiness, bags, and dark circles under the eyes, and remove excess skin, which can give one a sleepy look. Removing the excess skin also eliminates wrinkles in some cases. When you decide to undergo the procedure, you have some options. You can choose to have just the upper or lower lids done, or both at the same time. Our clients have seen beautiful results through skilled application of the following techniques:

Upper Eyelid Lift

Addresses excess skin and fat on the upper eyelids. Enhances appearance by reducing hooded or drooping eyelids.

Lower Eyelid Lift

Focuses on reducing under-eye bags and excess skin. Enhances appearance by smoothing the lower eyelid area, reducing puffiness.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

Targets under-eye fat deposits through an incision inside the lower eyelid. Enhances appearance by reducing under-eye bags without external scarring.

Canthoplasty or Canthopexy

Involves tightening or repositioning the outer corner of the eye. Enhances appearance by improving eye shape and preventing a downturned look.

Combination Blepharoplasty

Combines upper and lower eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation. Enhances appearance by addressing multiple concerns simultaneously, yielding a refreshed look.

What To Expect After The Procedure

The initial recovery period typically spans 1 to 2 weeks, during which patients may experience some bruising and swelling around the eyes and the small, inconspicuous incisions, which gradually subsides. Keeping the head elevated, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and wearing large, dark sunglasses will help alleviate discomfort. You may also be prescribed medication for pain management. You will be given detailed post-procedure care instructions and we will check in with you regularly to ensure you are doing well during recovery. And, of course, you can contact us anytime with any questions or concerns.
