Eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty in Sugar Land, Katy, and Houston, Texas
Eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a popular plastic surgery option for both men and women who want to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes. As we age, the skin around the eyes can become loose and saggy, resulting in a tired and aged appearance. Eyelid lift surgery can help to address these concerns and provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
During an eyelid lift procedure, a plastic surgeon will make incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids or just below the lash line of the lower eyelids to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining skin will be tightened, and the incisions will be closed to create a smoother and more youthful contour. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's needs.
Good candidates for eyelid lift surgery are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. The procedure can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient and can also be combined with other procedures, such as a brow lift or facelift, for optimal results.
Recovery from eyelid lift surgery can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following the surgery. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon and avoid strenuous activity until cleared to do so.
Overall, eyelid lift surgery can provide a safe and effective way for both men and women to improve the appearance of their eyes and restore a more youthful and refreshed contour. If you are considering eyelid lift surgery, schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and determine if this procedure is right for you.
