Awaken Your Look With Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the eyelids to provide you with a more youthful appearance. This can be performed on both the upper eyelid as well as the lower.
An eyelid lift can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s specific needs and desired outcome; more on this below. Under the skilled hands of Dr. Francine Vagotis, eyelid surgery becomes an art form that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and desires.
What are the benefits of Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery can especially be beneficial to address the following issues:
- Gets rid of the "angry" look
- Creates a more refreshed and youthful appearance
- Increases confidence
- Reduces impaired vision caused by excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids
- Results are long-term
- Scarring is well-hidden
The overall effect is to give your eyes a makeover that enables you to look younger and refreshed. There may be other areas of concern you can discuss with Dr. Francine Vagotis if you are thinking about Eyelid Surgery.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
The upper eyelid is the most common type of Blepharoplasty. Many patients choose this option to remove excess skin often appearing with age or genetics. This eyelid surgery can also improve your vision and make the eyelid feel less heavy. During upper blepharoplasty procedures, Dr. Francine Vagotis will make incisions in the natural crease of your upper eyelid. These incisions will be hidden when your eyes are open. He will then remove any remaining skin and protruding fat, and then close the incisions.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
The main reason patients choose lower eyelid surgery is to eliminate the look of bags and dark circles under the eyes. This can come with age or genetics, but our surgery can remove the excess fatty tissue, improving and smoothing the skin around the area drastically. During a lower blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Francine Vagotis will make the incision just below your lower eyelash line. He will remove excess skin in your lower eyelid through this incision. He may also use an incision hidden inside your lower eyelid (transconjunctival incision) to correct lower eyelid issues and redistribute or remove excess fat.
