Eyelid Surgery Newport Beach

Eyelid Lift surgery for a rested youthful appearance is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed. Blepharoplasty, or eyelift surgery, is used for a variety of eyelid problems ranging from a cosmetic improvement, or solving heavy drooping eyelids that interfere with peripheral vision.

When eyelid lift is chosen for cosmetic appearance, typically the patient is extremely pleased with the results. Noting a smoother appearance of the lids, more definition of the upper eyelid fold and eradication of the lower eyelid “bags”, achieving a “rested” appearance.

IS EYELID SURGERY FOR ME?

When considering eyelid surgery, the entire upper face must be evaluated to determine if eyelid surgery will correct the specific complaint that the patient desires to correct. Often, a heavy eyebrow that rests low on the forehead may contribute to the excess weight of the upper lid, and by correcting the brow, often times the eyelid may need little or no surgery. Correction of the brow is accomplished by a forehead or browlift, and therefore is individualized according to the hairline. Also the amount of elevation needed and whether or not there are wrinkles between the eyebrows or across the forehead. This can be done through a variety of incisions or through only a few inconspicuous incisions using an endoscope.

PROCEDURE

If eyelid surgery alone is indicated, evaluation consists of determining the amount of excess skin, fat and muscle needed to be removed to attain the desired results. For removal of lower eyelid “bags”, often removal of the excess fat that causes the lower lid bulges can be performed without an incision on the skin. This is accomplished by removing the fat through a small incision in the conjunctiva, or the lining of the inner lower eyelid. If there is any excess skin or sun damaged, wrinkled skin, laser surgery may be employed to tighten the skin of the lower eyelid and improve the lines.
