EYELID LIFT BEFORE & AFTERS
What is an Eyelid Lift?
Functional Eyelid Lift
As we age, the brow and eyelids begin to descend and can obscure vision. In cases where the peripheral vision is restricted due to excess upper eyelid skin and descent of the brow, insurance will pay for the procedure to remove the excess skin and elevate the brow.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate For an Eyelid Lift?
A good candidate for blepharoplasty treatment would be someone who is generally healthy and has realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. They should be bothered by the appearance of droopy or puffy eyelids and understand that blepharoplasty can help to address these concerns, but will not necessarily create a completely new look. Age is not necessarily a factor, as both younger and older individuals can benefit from this procedure. However, individuals who have certain medical conditions or take medications that could affect healing may not be good candidates for blepharoplasty. It is important for candidates to discuss their medical history and any medications they are taking with their surgeon prior to the procedure to determine if they are a good candidate for blepharoplasty.
Eyelid Lift Procedure
The procedure may be done under sedation or even under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour to complete. The incisions are hidden in the natural-occurring eyelid crease and possibly behind the hairline, if a brow lift is needed. The methods used for a particular individual depends on that individual’s needs.
Recovery Process
If you had general anesthesia, you may to feel groggy for 24-48 hours following surgery. During this time, you may also experience nausea and infrequent vomiting. You will be prescribed some anti-nausea medication to help alleviate your symptoms. If vomiting becomes a significant problem, please get in touch with our office.
You may notice aches and discomfort throughout your body after surgery. Mild pain can be expected, but if your pain escalates and becomes severe, please contact our office immediately.
You will be swollen after surgery. It can be quite noticeable for the first 7-14 days after surgery.
Contact lenses should not be worn for two weeks following surgery. Occasionally, mild changes in vision can occur as a result of swelling. These changes will resolve as swelling decreases. We recommend not changing your eyeglass or contact prescription for two to three months following surgery.
You may experience temporary eye dryness after surgery, which can be treated with OTC artificial tears products.
Family members should not be alarmed if the whites of your eyes are slightly visible after surgery while you are sleeping. In order to achieve the best cosmetic result from upper eyelid surgery, the maximum amount of excess skin will be removed. Often, this will cause a temporary shrinkage of the upper eyelids, which does not allow the eyelid to close completely during sleep. As long as there is no associated pain or burning, this issue will resolve spontaneously.
EYELID LIFT RESULTS
Patients can expect a significant improvement in the appearance of their eyes after undergoing this procedure. However, the extent of the results can vary depending on the individual case. The final results of the procedure can usually be seen within several weeks to a few months after the surgery. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure proper healing and to achieve the best possible results. Most patients require only one blepharoplasty procedure to achieve their desired results, although some may require additional treatments depending on the severity of their condition or the extent of their desired improvements. A follow-up appointment will typically be scheduled with the surgeon to monitor the healing process and to ensure that the patient is satisfied with the results. Overall, blepharoplasty can provide patients with a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance that can boost their self-confidence and improve their overall quality of life.
