Eyelid Lift
Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery
As we age, the skin around the eyes can sag, creating a tired or aged appearance. Blepharoplasty addresses issues such as drooping upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, and excess skin, helping to improve vision and enhance facial aesthetics. The procedure is suitable for both men and women seeking to refresh their appearance and boost their confidence. In addition to cosmetic benefits, an eyelid lift can alleviate functional concerns by removing excess skin that obstructs vision. Through a thorough consultation, Dr. Joseph Daw evaluates the overall facial structure, helping to determine the best approach for achieving a natural and balanced look.
Treatment Overview
Eyelid lift surgery can be performed in-office or in an operating room, depending on individual needs. For upper eyelids, an incision is made along the natural lid crease to remove excess skin and tissue, creating a more youthful appearance. For lower eyelids, an incision is placed just beneath the lash line to remove fat and tighten the skin, resulting in a smoother contour. This outpatient procedure typically takes about one to two hours. Post-operative care includes using cold compresses to minimize swelling and bruising, with recovery time generally lasting about a week. Additional facial rejuvenation treatments may complement the results for an even more refreshed look.
