Steps To Proceed
The eye Lift Procedure
We prioritize a seamless and transparent process for our esteemed patients. To embark on your transformative journey
-
Consultation
The first step in the eye lift journey is a comprehensive consultation with either Dr. Simmons or Dr. Flores. During this consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your medical history, discuss your aesthetic concerns, and determine the most appropriate surgical plan for your needs. This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their unique anatomy and goals.
-
Preparation
Before the surgery, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include guidelines on medications, dietary restrictions, and pre-operative care. It's important to follow these instructions closely to ensure a smooth and successful procedure.
-
Anesthesia
Eye lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and patient preference. Your surgeon will discuss the best anesthesia option for you during the consultation.
-
Surgical Technique
Upper Eyelid Surgery: For upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids. Through these incisions, excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to create a smoother and more youthful contour. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, resulting in minimal scarring. Lower Eyelid Surgery: Lower eyelid blepharoplasty involves making an incision just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach). The surgeon removes or repositions excess fat, and if necessary, tightens the skin and muscle to reduce puffiness and improve the under-eye area. The incisions are carefully closed to ensure a natural-looking result.

FAQs About Eye Lift

Eye lift surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and whether both upper and lower eyelids are being addressed.
The incisions for eye lift surgery are strategically placed in the natural creases of the eyelids, resulting in minimal and often unnoticeable scarring once healed.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, dry eyes, and asymmetry. However, complications are rare when the surgery is performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores.
The results of eye lift surgery are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for 10-15 years or more. The longevity of the results can be influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits.
Yes, eye lift surgery is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or brow lift, to achieve more comprehensive results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medications.
You can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first week. Most patients can resume normal activities within 10-14 days, although complete healing may take a few weeks.
Your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include discontinuing certain medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Our staff can assist you in determining if you qualify for coverage.
