Eyelid Lift
“The eyes are the windows to our soul”. Signs of premature aging around the eyes, such as dark circles, sagging upper and lower eyelid skin, fine lines and wrinkles, can make us look tired and older.
Eyelid lift (or blepharoplasty) is the preferred treatment for bags under the eyes or for drooping eyelids. These aging eye conditions can add years to your appearance and even impair your vision.
Plastic Surgeon Dr. Boemi in Naples, Florida can help enhance your appearance and give your face a more youthful appearance with an eyelid lift. . A blepharoplasty is often combined with other procedures such as laser resurfacing, brow lift, cheek lift or implant, or a facelift.
Eyelid surgery may be performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Boemi will make tiny incisions along the natural lines of your eyelids, which results in minimal scarring.
Generally, excess skin is removed from the upper and/or lower lids and the surgeon may also remove fat and tighten muscle to help you attain a fresher, more alert eye expression. Usually, you will be ready to return to work or normal activities in one to five days.
Most patients are back to their normal routine within days, although complete recovery may take a few weeks. Swelling, bruising and some discomfort are part of the recovery process, and usually can be alleviated with cold compresses and lubricating eye drops.
If you notice how your drooping upper eyelids and puffy or hollow lower eyelids are adding years to your look, ask Dr. Boemi how a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) can help you.
If you schedule a consultation for eyelid rejuvenation with Dr. Boemi, bring a snapshot of yourself a few years earlier. The picture will help plan the procedure in order to avoid unnatural looks.
The important decision of considering Plastic Surgery begins with a personal consultation. Please call to set up an hour long meeting with Dr. Boemi that covers your goals, any questions you have concerning surgery, and imaging.
