Blepharoplasty
Eyelid Surgery - Cosmetic Eyelid Rejuvenation Bel Air Harford Baltimore Maryland
Every year, one hundred thousand men and women choose blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to improve the way they look. Droopy eyelids can make you look older and can also impair vision. Eyelid surgery corrects these problems and also removes puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look worn and tired. Though blepharoplasty is often performed as a single procedure, your surgeon may also recommend a browlift, or skin rejuvenation to achieve the best results.
Any one or combination of the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery:
- excess skin obscuring the natural fold of the upper eyelids
- loose skin hanging down from the upper eyelids, perhaps impairing vision
- a puffy appearance to the lower lids, making the eyes look tired
- excess skin and fine, wrinkles of the lower eyelids
- bags and dark circles under the eyes, often with a depression along the bony border of the lower eyelids
Forget the facelift...eyelid surgery can be your best answer to revitalize your face.
How the surgery works:
Incisions are made along the line creases of the upper eyelid and possibly along the outer lower rim of the eye's skin. When removing fatty tissue, but not skin, the surgeon may perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty with an incision inside the lower rim of the eye's skin. These incisions often reach the outer corners of the eyes. The surgeon then divides the fatty tissue and muscle from the skin so that excess skin, fat, or muscle can be removed.
The blepharoplasty procedure is often performed under local anesthesia - while you are sedated, numbed, and awake - in an outpatient surgery center, surgeon's office, or hospital. General anesthesia (while you are asleep) may be used. Depending upon the number of eyelids and extent of the procedure, time in surgery may be up to three hours. Patients return home typically within hours of the surgery.
