Ask your facial plastic surgeon if you need blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery procedures

Different blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery procedures
There are different blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery procedures in Charlotte NC for the upper and lower eyelids, intended to correct different defects and create different improvements. However, many patients want both at the same time.

And in some cases the appearance of age is not created by the eyelids themselves, but by the skin on the forehead above them, which gradually sags downward and shifts to the center as the patient ages. In these cases, a brow lift rather than blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery will fix the problem. After a brow lift, you’ll need pain medication for a few days. Swelling and bruising should be gone in about two weeks.

In the usual blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery procedure for the upper eyelid, the surgeon makes a cut along the natural fold and removes excess skin, fat and muscle, usually under general anesthesia. On average, most patients are back to normal in two weeks, with just a little bruising visible. Resting, keeping your head elevated and using cold packs will help you get better faster. Take the medication your surgeon prescribes. Keep your eyes out of the sun, and if you need to go outside on sunny days, use sunglasses.

If you want blepharoplasty and eyelid surgery, first make sure you don’t have blurry vision, dry eye, double vision, diabetes or thyroid problems. Don’t take aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs before the surgery. Tell your surgeon about any medications you’re taking, and follow his or her advice on whether or not to take them before surgery.
