Q. What options do you offer for eyelid surgery?
A. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery is the key to a younger, more vibrant appearance for people with droopy eyes. A person's eyes are often considered their most important feature and shouldn't be hidden behind sagging, baggy eyelids. According to Dr. Ishoo, techniques in eyelid and brow-lifting surgery are safe, easy and require minimal recovery time. Depending on the patient, the surgery can often be done with local anesthesia. For example, an upper eyelid lift only takes about an hour and most people resume normal activities within a few days and can begin exercising after two weeks. There will be minor swelling and bruising, but it will disappear after 7-14 days. You will see instant results as the swelling goes down. Most patients are delighted with their new fresh look! |
