The eyes are the focal point of the face
and contribute substantially to your overall facial appearance. Bags beneath
the eyes, wrinkled drooping layers of skin on the eyelid,and sagging eyebrows
give the entire face a perpetually tired or sad expression.
Aesthetic eyelid surgery can "brighten" the face
and restore a more youthful appearance by reducing the fat and extra skin
that cause these conditions. Blepharoplasty is often performed along with
the facelift or with other facial rejuvenating procedures.
The surgeon may operate on the upper and lower eyelids as
necessary, removing excess skin and muscle as well as eliminating or repositioning
fat under the skin that creates puffiness and bagginess of the eyelids. Incisions
are hidden within natural folds or beneath lash lines, or sometimes may be
placed inside the lower eyelid if removal of skin is not necessary.
Sometimes the upper eyelid problem is aggravated by sagging
of the eyebrows, and this may require correction with a brow lift.
Because eyelid skin is thin, you should expect some swelling
and black—and—blue discoloration after surgery. Your eyes may be
temporarily sensitive to light and susceptible to excess tearing or dryness.
You may want to wear dark glasses for a couple of weeks to protect your eyes
from wind and sun irritation and avoid eye strain from prolonged reading or
television viewing. You will be able to resume wearing makeup and contact
lenses shortly after your surgery.
Dr. Worland frequently tells younger patients requesting
a facelift that they would benefit most from an eyelidplasty, thereby postponing
a facelift for several years.

Incisions
following natural contour lines in upper and lower lids provide access to skin
and fatty tissue. In some cases, excess fat may be removed through an incision
placed inside the lower eyelid. |
