What is an Eyelid Lift?

An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of drooping eyes. Sagging eyelids can make you feel older than you are and even affect your vision. Eye lift surgery can lift your sagging eyelids and under-eye bags. This surgery is ideal for your upper and lower eyelids. Both sections can be lifted in a single surgical session or during separate operations. An eyelift can also target fat bulges near your inner eye. We can remove this during an upper eyelid procedure. 

An eyelid lift is not only for aging patients trying to achieve a younger look but can benefit anyone with drooping or puffy eyes or under eye, fat bulges. If your eyes are stealing your youthful glow, contact us for eye bag surgery in Exton, PA. Blepharoplasty can be combined with other surgical and cosmetic treatments to reduce the signs of aging. All you have to do is tell us about your desired aesthetic outcome, and we will find a way to make it happen. We believe in customized treatments to address your unique needs.

How You Can Benefit from an Eyelid Lift

This surgical procedure offers more benefits than simply improving your appearance. It can even improve your health. Here are a few reasons to choose an eyelid lift instead of other methods to address drooping eyes.

Look More Energized

No one wants to look tired all the time, especially as you get older. However, sagging eyelids can give you a constant tired-looking expression. Drooping eyelids are not the result of a poor sleep schedule. Even if you regularly get sufficient sleep, you may be more susceptible to sagging eyelids as a result of heredity or the natural effects of aging. Eyelid surgery can give you an energized appearance, making you look and feel more alert. 

Restore the Shape of Your Eyelids

As you get older, the production of collagen and elastin slows down in your body. This leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and drooping eyelids. If you would like to see the original shape of your eyelids, blepharoplasty is the perfect treatment for you. The only way to combat the effects that age has on your eyelids is to opt for eyelid surgery. This procedure will reduce the sagging and puffiness under your eyes so you can enjoy a youthful look again.

Restored Vision

As your eyelids sag, it may impact your visibility. In extreme cases, some patients have developed a limited field of vision due to drooping eyelids. This can affect your life and most of your daily activities, like driving and reading. Have you noticed a decline in your ability to see? If so, you can benefit from blepharoplasty. Restoring your vision will improve more than just your appearance. It will improve the way you live your life.

Longevity

Unlike non-invasive and non-surgical treatments, eyelid lifts can last up to 10 years before you need maintenance. Most other procedures require touch-up sessions soon after the initial treatment, but blepharoplasty will give you long-lasting results.

Quick and Simple

You may think that all surgical procedures take time, but blepharoplasty is quick. We can complete the procedure in under an hour, and you can return home shortly after the operation. All that is required is a short recovery before you can leave us.

The Consultation

Of course, before we schedule your eyelid surgery, we need to discuss a few things, like your desired outcome. We will also use this consultation to assess your medical history to determine whether you can undergo the surgical procedure. You will be asked about medication, herbal supplements, previous medical treatments, and allergies. This is also the perfect time to ask us questions and voice your concerns about the procedure. We are here to put your mind at ease and ensure that you are comfortable with the procedure. You will need to prepare a friend or family member to drive you home after the surgery.

The Procedure

We will either administer general anesthetic or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Incisions are strategically made in a place that can be concealed by the natural contours of your eyelids, so you won’t have to worry about noticeable scarring. We will use sutures or skin glue to seal the incision. You can return within a week to have your sutures removed. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a laser or chemical peel treatment to reduce discoloration under your eyelids.

Recovery and Results

You can apply an ointment or cold compress to assist with the healing process. Be sure to follow the instructions we provide so you can enjoy the results of your surgery. Results will appear gradually as the swelling subsides and your wound heals.
