Because of the excess eyelid skin, hooded eyelids can make you appear more tired and older than you are. Blepharoplasty can remove the extra skin on the eyelid and give your appearance a refreshed look.
Blepharoplasty surgery, also referred to as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess eyelid tissue in hooded eyes. Dr. Tenley Lawton performs upper eyelid surgery to shape the eyes and gracefully transform them to appear more youthful.
For an upper blepharoplasty, Dr. Lawton makes a precise incision that follows the natural folds in your upper eyelid. The placement of the incision ensures that the scar will be well-camouflauged by the creases in your eyelid. This procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Dr. Lawton will discuss if you can have an upper blepharoplasty with local anesthetic and a sedative or need the approach of general anesthesia.
After the upper blepharoplasty, you will rest in a recovery room before returning home. Puffiness, redness, watery eyes, and bruising are normal after an upper blepharoplasty and will lessen the more your body heals.
The overarching benefit of an upper blepharoplasty is the restored youthfulness in the eye area. Other benefits of this procedure include:
Most candidates have hooded eyelids that go past the natural upper eyelid crease with “puffy” eyelid skin. Blepharoplasty can address hooded eyelids and create a brighter looking, youthful eye area. This procedure cannot solve crow’s feet.
Ideal candidates should be non-smokers because smoking can slow the healing process. If you’re thinking about restoring the youth of your eyes, Dr. Lawton is here for you. Dr. Lawton will take into account all health history and consult with you if blepharoplasty is suitable for you.
