Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an exceptional procedure that can be used to create a more youthful look around your eyes and brow area. This procedure can be performed alone or as part of an overall rejuvenation of your face and can help repair drooping lids and reduce eye puffiness. Here is what you should know.
How Does Eyelid Surgery Work?
This surgery aims to reduce signs of aging around the eyes by removing excess skin, extra fat, and sometimes a portion of the eye muscle, depending on the results desired. It can be performed with a facelift and adjustments to the brow for a nicely finished look.
Does Eyelid Surgery Leave a Scar?
The tiny scars from this procedure are easily hidden in the existing creases of the lower and upper eyelids. In some cases, patients undergo blepharoplasty to create a new, visible eyelid crease in the upper eyelid. The height from the upper eyelid to the crease depends on the patient’s preference.
Reasons Why Clients Appreciate Eyelid Surgery
Many patients appreciate eyelid surgery as it opens their eyes, eliminating the tired and worn-out look caused by drooping and sagging eyelids. Another popular result is getting rid of bags under the eyes. Eyelid surgery may help with your makeup by making it easier to apply.
The Procedures for Eyelid Surgery
Some patients may qualify for an in-office procedure performed in the Overland Park clinic. The advantage of this option is that only local anesthesia is used, and you stay awake throughout the procedure, making your recovery from the anesthesia quicker and easier.
If your procedure requires full general anesthesia, you will go to the outpatient surgery center for your eyelid surgery. The surgery takes one to three hours, depending on whether you have the procedure on the upper, lower, or both eyelids.
