Benefits Of Eyelid Surgery

Patients considering eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) can greatly benefit from the anti-aging effects that this procedure can offer.  As we begin to age, the skin naturally begins to sag and droop, particularly around the eyes, giving your face a tired and sometimes aged look.

With blepharoplasty, a patient’s eyes can be restored to reveal a more youthful look by removing excess fat, muscle, and skin from both upper and lower lids, including puffiness and bags under the eyes. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer eye area. Apart from the aesthetic benefits this surgery can provide, there are also a variety of necessary advantages for having this procedure, including improved vision once sagging skin is removed.Am I a candidate?
As with any plastic surgery, potential patients should be in good health and have a realistic understanding of expected outcomes.  Patients with the following conditions should avoid any eye surgery without prior approval from a doctor:

• Dry eyes
• Abnormal blood pressure
• Thyroid disease
• Corneal problems
• Abnormal blood coagulation

 

Dr. Stevens does perform eyelid surgery as a single procedure, but also often recommends combining the procedure with a facelift or brow lift.  Are you interested in learning more about eyelid surgery?
