Dr. James Patrinely
For instance, our surgeons perform around 35 eyelid procedures every month. This number is much higher than the average number of 2 eyelid surgeries that other plastic surgeons perform in America. Most patients would prefer to be treated by a surgeon who is the best at a particular procedure as opposed to one that is rarely performed. With Plastic Eye Surgery Associates, we ask you to trust our experience, dedication, and true commitment to excellence.
What to Know About Destin FL Cosmetic Eye Surgery
Are you noticing that people often ask you if you are tired or short on sleep? If so, this could be a result of aging changes around your eye and eyelids. During a conversation, most people look at each other in the eye when speaking. Therefore, it is important that you are aware of how your eyes appear. Puffiness of the eyelids, dark circles, and wrinkles between the brows can give you a tired, sleepy or angry look.
Fortunately, we are fully capable of performing cosmetic procedures, such as high-quality eyelid surgery or Botox injections, to fix these problems. For example, blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Here at Plastic Eye Surgery Associates, we are able to remove or reposition the underlying fatty tissue in the eyelids that produce bags and puffiness.
More so, blepharoplasty can also significantly improve drooping skin and sagging eyelids. Sometimes, there are no external incisions in lower eyelid procedures, leaving no scar. Alternatively, the incision in the upper eyelid is nearly invisible because we hide your incision within the natural crease of the eyelid. Thus, we minimize a visible scar.
Also, a blepharoplasty procedure can improve vision for those who suffer from the hooding from excess skin of the upper eyelids. Unfortunately, blepharoplasty does not remove “crow’s feet” or other types of wrinkles, lift sagging eyebrows, or eliminate dark circles under the eyes. However, we can offer a brow lift or Botox injections for wrinkles in addition to eyelid surgery.
General Overview of Cosmetic Eye Surgery
Most of our cosmetic surgery procedures include tiny incisions made in the natural contours that surround your eyes. Our primary goal of cosmetic surgery is to give you an improved appearance but with a totally natural look. We never want you to look overdone.
For example, we will describe what happens during an upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. First, we treat the upper eyelids to remove loose skin and fatty deposits in the eyelid. Next, the lower eyelids are addressed to reposition fat and remove fat, which eliminates puffiness and bags under the eyes. In some circumstances, the lower eyelid can be tightened to improve loose skin and eyelid wrinkles.
This procedure is about one to three hours in length, depending on how extensive your aging changes are. We can offer you light IV sedation or oral medication to make you feel comfortable. Our excellent staff and surgeons are available to be by your side every step of the way during your cosmetic surgery. If you are interested in blepharoplasty or other cosmetic procedures, contact Plastic Eye Surgery Associates. You may consider these reasons for blepharoplasty:
- Shadows or bags under the eyes
- Wrinkles or excess skin around your eyelids
- Tired or sad appearance
- Puffiness around the eyes
Recovery/Healing Process
Generally speaking, the instructions given post-surgery call for plenty of rest and relaxation. By taking it easy, you’ll speed up the healing process and reduce recovery time. Most patients have mild pain and soreness around the eyes, but this can be treated with oral medication, like Tylenol. While the risk for complications is slim, you should carefully follow the post-op instructions to minimize any type of problem.
Keep in mind that blepharoplasty has a slightly longer healing time than most other forms of cosmetic surgery, but the results are long-lasting. In the end, patients are happy with the more youthful and rested appearance. Contact us today for more information about cosmetic eye surgery procedures and the recovery process.
Benefits of Blepharoplasty
Even the most minor alterations in your eye area can result in significant benefits. Your eyes are integral to the way others perceive your thoughts and emotions. Therefore, it is very important that your eyelids look the best they can. Blepharoplasty can help in many ways:
Improving Your Vision
Have you been suffering from worsening vision? If so, it may be a result of your eyelids. Extreme upper eyelid drooping or muscle weakness can block vision. Fortunately, blepharoplasty can address the eyelid issues that cause vision problems by lifting the eyelids. Even if you are only undergoing a minor procedure, you may still experience an expanded field of vision.
Smoother Forehead
Dr. Charles Soparkar
Nobody wants to have deep furrows in their foreheads. When heavy eyelids affect your ability to see, you may get into the habit of raising your eyebrows by crinkling your forehead to get a better view. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll increase the deep furrows and wrinkles in the forehead. Blepharoplasty can remove the extra weight of the eyelids, allowing your forehead muscles to relax. Consequently, you may notice a smoother appearing forehead with fewer wrinkles.
Fewer Misunderstanding
Heavy or drooping eyelids can give your face an appearance of tiredness, sleepiness, and even anger. To avoid going around giving off wrong impressions, a blepharoplasty may be able to reduce the extra heaviness around the eyes. Lower and upper eyelid lifts can help match your facial expressions with your true intentions.
