Excess, baggy eyelid skin that, in severe cases, may even interfere with vision.
Puffy fat in the eyelids, sometimes just in the upper or lower, often in both.
Computer imaging assists in discussing the desired results.
PROCEDURE
Incisions are made where the natural crease exists in the upper lid and below or behind the eyelash line in the lower lid.
Excess fat and/or skin are removed and, if needed, the muscles are tightened.
The procedure is relatively simple and normally takes only one to one and a half hours for both eyes. Frequently it is
done in conjunction with a facelift or forehead lift.
RECOVERY
There will be minimal post-operative discomfort that is easily controlled with medication.
Swelling and bruising subside rapidly over a week or two.
