Eye Lift

An eyelift, also known as a blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can address saggy, wrinkled eyelid skin and/or under-eye bags. While the triggers for these aging concerns are rooted in sun damage and the natural aging process, a hereditary predisposition is not uncommon. Blepharoplasty can make dramatic improvements to tired-looking eyes for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

How It Works

Incisions for an upper and lower blepharoplasty are placed at the crease of the lid, the lower lash line, or hidden inside the lower lid to minimize visible scarring. From the incision point, muscle, fat and skin tissue is trimmed, repositioned and redraped to produce a smooth, firm and rested look that can last for years.

Recovery

Immediately after surgery, ice packs are applied intermittently to reduce the swelling and bruising that is commonly experienced. The eyes may tear more than usual, eventually returning to normal as the swelling subsides. Activities such as walking, reading or watching television can be resumed after two to three days, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least three weeks. After a week of healing, the fine stitches used to close the incisions can be removed. Dr. de Kleer will explain how to care for your surgical incisions to ensure optimal recovery and comfort. The overall recovery from an eyelift procedure takes approximately two weeks, at which point the eyelids should feel and look normal, with the mild surgical scars resolving over several months.
