Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery:

• If you are in good health and unhappy with the appearance of your eyelids.
• If you would like to get rid of sagging skin and bags under your eyes.
• If you look tired even though you don’t feel tired.

What Results Will I See?*

Patients who undergo eyelid surgery usually see: 

• Removal of excess hooding skin of the upper outer eyelids.
• Tightening of upper and lower eyelid skin.
• Less puffiness and bags of the upper and lower eyelids.
• Vision improvement.

What is the Recovery Process Like?*

After eyelid lift surgery, you can expect to go home with little to no bruising, and a thin line of sutures for upper eyelids and no sutures for lower eyelids. You won’t have any scars because the natural folds and lines of your eyelid will be used as a guide so no new lines will be formed by the procedure. You can expect some swelling and bruising but this varies by person. 

You’ll be encouraged to walk immediately after surgery but should not engage in heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4 weeks. We’ll require you to come to our office a week after surgery or sooner for a follow-up appointment. In addition, we will offer laser light therapy to speed up healing and reduce the bruising quickly. 

Within one week after your surgery, you can wear makeup and begin to enjoy your refreshed, rejuvenated look.
