Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Extra skin and fat can be removed from both the upper and lower eyelids, eliminating bags and puffiness. This is accomplished through incisions whose scars hide in the natural fold of the upper eyelid and below the eyelashes of the lower eyelid. When it is only necessary to remove fat from the lower eyelids to eliminate the bags, this can be done through the inside of the eyelid, leaving no external visible scars. This operation has a fast healing time with an early return to normal activities.

This 54-year-old female had difficulty with her vision
when looking upward and to the sides. She had a
visual fields test which confirmed that she had a
decrease in her field of vision. She also wanted
something done for her crinkly lower eyelids.
She underwent a bilateral upper and lower eyelift, or blepahroplasty, on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. After surgery she was extremely happy with her result, and had no further problems with her vision. |
