Welcome to Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Hundreds of thousands of women and men elect cosmetic eyelid
surgery every year in order to enhance their appearance. Often,
a brow lift or forehead lift is added to enhance the effects of
cosmetic eyelid surgery. Droopy eyelids, under eye bags, and
wrinkles under the eyes can all be reduced with cosmetic eyelid
surgery. The ideal patient understands the benefits and
limitations of blepharoplasty and has realistic expectations of
what can be achieved. Good candidates desire to enhance the
appearance of their eyes; generally regarded as the most
important facial feature.
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about your
face and are important aspects of facial attractiveness. The
eyelids protect one's eyes in addition to adding to their
cosmetic appearance.
Unfortunately, over time your upper and/or lower eyelids may
become "droppy" or "baggy" because the eylid skin stretches,
muscles weaken, and fat pockets bulge and become more prominent.
This most commonly occurs because of the aging process but also
may be a hereditary condtion that runs in your family. Your
eyebrows also may sag or droop as a part of the same process.
Aesthetically, such conditions may detract from overall
attractiveness of one's eyes and cause a "tired" or oler
appearance. When sever, these conditions also may cause
functional problems, such as impaired field of vision (baggy
upper eyelids) or difficulty wearing glasses (baggy
lower
eyelids).
Eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids is
termed blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty surgery is usually an
outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with
sedation if desired.
The goal of this eyelid surgery is to reduce the "baggy" or
sagging tissues, which may include skin, muscle, and fat
pockets. During surgery, incisions are made in the natural folds
of the eyelid ( in the crease of the upper eyelid and just
beneath the lashes or behind the lower eyelid) so that they are
virtually unnoticeable after the tissues have healed. In cases
where the eyebrows are also droopy, a prcedure to elevate the
eyebrows may be appropriate. This procedure is known as a
forehead lift.
Cosmetic eyelid and eyebrow surgery is commonly performed by Dr.
Ebroon who is a board certified Ophthalmic plastic and
reconstructive surgeon specializing in disease and conditions
affecting the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit ( bone
cavity around the eye), and adjacent facial structures.
