Eyelid Surgery in Chicago
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. During this procedure, excess fat, skin, or muscle is removed to create a more youthful and refreshed look around the eyes.
What Is a Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure focused on rejuvenating the appearance of the eyelids. Depending on the patient's individual treatment plan, this procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthesia or in the operating room. The surgery can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids, or both, depending on individual goals.
Upper Eyelid Procedure
An incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. With this incision, excess eyelid skin is removed, and possibly some underlying fat, depending on the patient's pre-operative exam. This helps restore a more youthful appearance to the upper eyelid by accentuating its natural curves and shape. By using the natural crease of your eyelid, this incision is very well concealed.
Lower Eyelid Procedure
Lower eyelid surgery can vary depending on the degree of aging. Two common complaints include lower lid skin excess and bulging fat, which can give patients a tired or puffy appearance. In the operating room, an incision is made either within your eyelid or at the lower lash line. Several surgical options are possible depending on the patient's exam, including fat removal or repositioning, tissue tightening, and removal of excess skin.
The procedure aims to create a more alert, youthful, and refreshed appearance by addressing issues such as excess skin, wrinkles, and bulging fat around the eyes. Blepharoplasty is often chosen by individuals seeking to enhance their overall facial aesthetics and diminish signs of aging in the eye area.
