Eyelid Surgery

A quick and easy procedure to shave years from your face..

The eyes are central to one's appearance. They have been called the "gateway to the soul". More than any other facial feature, your eyes reveal the most about how you feel. When your eyes are bright and alert, you appear energized, well-rested, and in control. Heredity, age or stress can take their toll, leaving you with lower-eyelid puffiness or drooping, wrinkled upper lids. People may assume that you are fatigued, angry or unhappy. If your eyelids look old, you will look old.

As we age, the muscles around our eyes tend to weaken and our skin begins to sag. Fat also accumulates around the eyes. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a nearly scar-free technique designed to remove fat, excess skin and muscle from the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper or lower eyelid, or both. This procedure is designed for those wanting to look younger, more refreshed and more alert. Even the slightest changes to the eyelids can help them look younger and vibrant.

Eyelid surgery is usually performed in patients aged 40 and above, although it can be done as early as the 20s or 30s. It is a quick, simple and safe procedure done under IV sedation with local anesthesia. It takes approximately one hour and post-operative discomfort is surprisingly mild. Bruising and swelling usually resolve in 5 - 7 days. Patients enjoy a rejuvenated appearance in just a few weeks and the results are very long lasting, leaving patients looking years younger.
