Eyelid Surgery

As we all know, the eyes are a prominent facial feature. Although the eyes are expressionless structures, the surrounding skin conveys emotion. The tissue, muscle, fat, hair and lashes all contribute to the wide array of expressions. Unfortunately, wrinkles and deep lines as well as puffiness under the lids develop as you age. In addition, exposure to the sun as well as hereditary factors contributes to the aging process, all resulting in changes of expression. In many cases, people may look fatigued and worn out, and older than their true age. Beyond possible visual impairment, these changes in your appearance can cause stress and anxiety.

Areas Blephroplasty surgery performed on:

• Correct sagging eyelids
• Bags or pouches beneath eyes
• Removes excess folds around the eyes

This surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat on upper and lower eyelids. Blephroplasty is performed within the confines of our practice. It can be done under general anesthesia, with you asleep or under IV sedation. Both are very comfortable options.

To better understand your overall health, the surgeons of NTFOS will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes and face are made in order to take the most effective surgical approach. The amount, distribution and type of excess skin to be removed are carefully reviewed. The areas that will be excised are marked and digital photographs are used in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery.
