Your eyelids may become droopier as time goes on. This can be due to age, genetics, gravity, environmental factors, and many other reasons. Although you can’t stop it from happening, you can combat it. There are effective treatments available on the market to correct droopy eyelids. Droopy eyelids can cause several concerns, such as making you look older and impairing your vision. Eyelid surgery is an effective solution that can address droopy eyelids.
If you want to address your droopy eyelids, you are in the right place. Blepharoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that offers long-lasting, natural-looking results. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, we offer eyelid surgery to improve your quality of life. We know that droopy eyelids can affect many of your daily tasks.
Blepharoplasty is an FDA-approved cosmetic surgical procedure that corrects droopy skin in the upper and restores volume to the lower eyelids. It offers you a more youthful and energized appearance. You can have both your upper and lower eyelids corrected with one procedure. Blepharoplasty can also address bags under your eyes and unwanted fat bulges near your inner eye.
We have performed many eyelid surgery procedures, all resulting in success. We offer expert advice and take care of anyone choosing blepharoplasty. We aim to help you look and feel your best and will answer all your questions about the preparation, procedure, and recovery so that you can have peace of mind and achieve optimal results.
Before you can schedule your eyelid surgery, you will need to visit us for an initial consultation. During the consultation, we will review your medical records and assess your current health condition to determine your suitability for blepharoplasty. We will also assess the condition of your eyelids and discuss your desired results.
Understanding the procedure will help you to have more realistic expectations of what it can do for you. At this time, you can ask any questions about the surgery. We will always be open and honest with you to ensure an enjoyable and successful experience.
You should arrange for someone to drive you to your surgery and back home after your procedure. Because eyelid surgery involves incisions and anesthesia, you won’t be able to drive. In addition, you may require some assistance at home for a few days. This will make your recovery period easier.
Before we begin the procedure, general anesthesia will be administered. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. Incisions are strategically placed to reduce the appearance of scars and give you a more natural look. After your surgery, you will need some time to recover. Thereafter, you can continue your recovery period in the comfort of your home.
After having someone drive you home, you will need someone to help you will a few daily tasks for the next few days. Your recovery period is important, and you should take special care of yourself during this time. You may experience swelling and discoloration around your eyes for a few days. This is normal. We recommend you keep your head lifted for a few days to reduce swelling.
We will also prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible. We recommend you limit your physical activity while your wounds heal. As the swelling reduces, you will start to notice the change in your eyelids. Over time, these results will continue to improve.
Droopy eyelids don’t only occur in older patients. If you are young, you may also experience droopy eyelids. Regardless of your age, skin type, or skin tone, blepharoplasty can help you. We also perform double eyelid surgery to provide larger, more almond-shaped eyes. One of the great advantages of eyelid surgery is that it can be customized to suit your needs.
There are a few eyelid surgery procedures you can choose from, depending on what you wish to achieve. Here is an overview of what we offer:
If you have excess skin on your upper eyelids, you may have an older appearance or experience impaired vision. During upper eyelid surgery, we create an incision along the fold of your eyelid to remove excess skin, tissue, and fat. We can also reposition the fat tissue instead of removing it. This procedure can reduce the appearance of bags near your inner eye.
Lower eyelid surgery targets bags under your eyes. These bulges of excess skin and fat can make you look tired. This procedure involves an incision below your lower eyelash to remove excess fat and skin. If you have good skin elasticity, we can make an incision inside the lower eyelid to conceal the scars.
Double eyelid surgery creates a crease in the upper eyelid. This alters the shape of your eye to look bigger and more almond-shaped. During this procedure, we will extend the inner corner of your eye towards your nose. This will increase the height and width of your eyes.
