Laser Eyelid SurgeryFor a youthful look
What's the first thing people notice when they look at you?

Most people would say the eyes.

Yes, your eyes can reveal a lot about you. And your eyes can make you look tired and older than you really are. As we age, the elastic tissue around the eyes (both upper and lower eyelids) begins to lose its springy, rubberband-like quality. This allows pockets of fat to form, giving the appearance of puffy eyes.

View before and after photographs of this procedure.

What's more, the skin around the eye stretches out and muscles weaken, causing fat to accumulate and giving eyes their droopy and saggy appearance. There is a way to vanish those sagging eyelids, wipe away those bags and erase the years! See before and after treatment photographs for laser eye surgery.

Now, using a cosmetic procedure known as laser blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery) you can sculpt away excess skin and loose muscles, plus erase away puffy bags on both the upper and lower eyelids, leaving you looking years younger.

How does the procedure work
Blepharoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the eyelids. For upper eyelids a crescent moon-shaped fold of skin is removed and pockets of fat are cut out. This incision is made along the lid crease so it hides the minor scar.

To remove the puffy bags common in lower lids, no incision is required in the skin. Surgery is done inside the eyelid leaving no scar.

Breakthrough Laser Technology
Using a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser as a scalpel we can perform the eyelid surgery in more precise and bloodless way. The laser delivers high-energy, precisely focused light to cut away delicate eyelid tissue.

As the laser cuts, it also seals off blood vessels so it reduces bleeding and trauma in the area. This will almost eliminate any bruising or black eyes.

No other tool has made eyelid surgery so precise and accurate. But what's more, the laser also seals off nerve endings around the incision sight so this reduces pain and discomfort following surgery.

Who are the Best Candidates for Laser Blepharoplasty?
Usually if you have any type of unsightly bulges, bags, or drooping lids you will see significant results after eyelid surgery.

The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy and with realistic expectations. And there is really no age limit for this procedure.

Should you have both Upper and Lower Eyelids Done Together?
You can have either the upper or lower eyelids done together or separately. If your problem areas are more prominent in one region then you will only need one area done.

However, most patients find they get more dramatic results and a more symmetrical appearance if both areas are done at the same time.

Does It Hurt?
The most pain you'll experience during your surgery will be the stinging from the anesthetic injected before surgery. After this anesthetic you will experience almost no more pain during the procedure.

Following the surgery, your post-operative pain is very slight. Most patients can use Tylenol to ease any of the pain.

What Can I Expect After The Surgery?
Since the laser seals off blood vessels and nerve endings you'll experience much less post-operative discomfort. You can expect your eyelids to be puffy and swollen for several days following surgery.

Some patients also experience temporary blurring of their vision due to the ointments applied after surgery.

After 7-10 days the fine stitches will be removed. You may have some mild to moderate bruising following your surgery. At the time you get your stitches removed there typically will be little, if any, black and blue marks.

You can simply wear dark glasses if you need to go out in public for the first few days following surgery. Your normal activities can usually be resumed in just 3 to 7 days.

Can Eyelid Surgery Get Rid of My Wrinkles and Crow's Feet?
No. Blepharoplasty cannot get rid of wrinkles or crow's feet. Other procedures such as laser resurfacing and BOTOX® injections can be used to solve these concerns.

Many patients find using these procedures in combination with blepharoplasty produce even greater facial rejuvenation. Call my office for more information on these procedures or I'll be happy to discuss these options personally with you.

However, after eyelid surgery you can expect significant results that make your eyes look younger, brighter and more wide-awake.

Take a look at the amazing before and after shots and you'll see what I mean.
