Eye Lift Surgery

Introduction to Eye Lift Surgery

Eye lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a transformative procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes by addressing sagging eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags. As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes can lose elasticity, leading to a tired or aged appearance. Eye lift surgery can help restore a youthful and refreshed look, enhancing overall facial harmony.

UNDERSTANDING A EYE LIFT

An eye lift, also known as a Blepharoplasty, is a procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin or fat. This surgery can help with:
  • Reducing bagginess under the eyes
  • Removing excess skin on the upper eyelids

Pre-Operative Preparation

Consultation

The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Simmons or Dr. Flores. During this session, they will assess your nasal structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable surgical approach to meet your needs.

Medical Evaluation

A comprehensive medical evaluation is essential to ensure you are a suitable candidate for surgery. Dr. Simmons or Dr. Flores will review your medical history, current medications, and any underlying health conditions.

Preparation

To prepare for surgery, you may be advised to:

  • Cease Smoking: Stop smoking at least six weeks prior to the procedure.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: Refrain from taking medications that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Arrange for Assistance: Plan for transportation and post-operative care, as you will need assistance following the surgery.
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.

Post Op

Post-Operative Care

Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Simmons or Dr. Floresare essential for monitoring your healing. He will provide detailed instructions for caring for your surgical sites and managing any discomfort.

Recovery Process

Recovery from eye lift surgery varies from patient to patient, but most individuals can expect the following:
Immediate Post-Operative Care: After the procedure, your eyes may be covered with ointment and bandages to protect the surgical sites. It’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
First Few Days: During the initial days of recovery, you should rest with your head elevated to minimize swelling. Avoid strenuous activities and follow your surgeon’s instructions for cleaning the incision sites and applying ointments.
Follow-Up Appointments: You will have scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress. Stitches are typically removed within a week, and most patients can return to work and normal activities within 10-14 days, although some minor swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks.
