Restore your eyes youth — No more baggy eyes or droopy lids

Eyelid surgery is very successful in patients who have reasonable expectations. A realistic expectation on the part of the patient is critical to success. Sagging tissue of the eyelids and fat pads can certainly be removed.

If you don’t like your eye look you can be a candidate for blepharoplasty.

No, the blepharoplasty surgery will not be able to achieve all of this. As the skin tightens, many wrinkles go away. Some fine ones may not. Dark circles under the eyes may improve a bit if this is related to large bags, but most often the dark appearance of the lower eyelid skin remains.

The fat of your bags is removed or reshaped,  in order to give your eyes an enjoyable and younger look.

There are some ancillary techniques to improve this problem, but dark circles will hardly fade completely.

Most of the time there is no visible scar after the healing is complete. Incisions in the eyelids are made following natural skin folds and creases. Once healed, the hairline scars will fade, leaving a very inconspicuous incision line that becomes virtually unnoticeable after the healing.

Generally speaking, the benefits of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, and few people need to have the procedure done a second time. Fat that has been removed will not come back. Of course with aging, the skin gets looser and saggy. The procedure cannot alter or retard the natural aging process.

After surgery, patients usually spend at least one day resting with their heads elevated on a pillow and often apply ice packs to reduce swelling. Some patients report a dull headache and tenderness. You may also experience bruising and temporary numbness. Later on, you might experience some itching during the healing process.

No, someone will need to drive you home after your surgery.

Usually, patients have a presentable appearance one week after surgery.

There is usually some swelling that gradually resolves after one to two weeks. There may be some bruising, but very little and this too fades rapidly. Women can camouflage bruises fairly easily at seven to ten days with make-up.

You should plan to take it easy and put ice on the eyelids for two days, and not work out or play sports for a week. Aerobic and other exercise programs are not allowed for at least two weeks to decrease the risks of bleeding, swelling, and bruising. More strenuous activities, such as weight-lifting and contact sports, are not allowed for at least one month. Absolutely no bending, lifting, or straining during the postoperative period as these activities can increase swelling and delay healing.

No. Patients can eat whatever they want.

Yes, such patients are excellent candidates for eyelid surgery
