EYELID SURGERY

Eyelid surgery is designed to remove the excess fat, along with skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids.

This procedure can brighten the face and restore a more youthful appearance by removing features that make you look older or more tired than you really feel.

This procedure will not eradicate the wrinkles around the eyes (crows feet) nor will it elevate droopy eyebrows. There are other procedures designed for these purposes.

When performed by a competent plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and minor. Healing is a gradual process and your scars may remain slightly pink for six months or more after surgery. Eventually, though, they will fade to a thin, nearly invisible white line. As with all surgical procedures, you should discuss all potential risks and benefits with your surgeon.
