Eye Lift
Eyelid surgery, also called an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient’s field of vision.
Eye lifts are ideal for the correction of loose, sagging and folded upper eyelids that may limit vision, puffy fat deposits in the upper eyelids, under-eye baggage, sagging lower eyelids and fine wrinkles in the lower eyelids.
Recovery time for eyelid surgery is usually between 2 and 4 weeks with most patients resuming activities within 3 – 5 days, and may return to work in about 10 days. Results aren’t immediate and may take 1 – 2 months to fully realize a more awake and cheerful look around the eyes, and greater self-confidence.
