Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

More than any other facial feature, the eyes have a tremendous impact on your appearance. It is said the eyes are the 'windows of the soul."

Often, the eyes are the first place to show aging, because the skin around your eye is half as thin as on the rest of your face. Eyelid surgery can improve that "tired look;" remove bags, pouches and excess skin from under and over the eyes; and make you look years younger.

Blepharoplasty removes fat - usually along with excess skin and muscle - from the upper and lower eyelids. It can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes. Eyelid surgery can be done alone, or combined with other facial procedures such as facelift or browlift.

Most eyelid surgery leaves invisible scars - incisions are made following natural lines and creases and usually disappear within a few months. If no excess skin needs to be removed, the lower lid incision can be made inside the lower lid. Otherwise the incision is made just below the lashes. Fine wrinkles of the eyelids are removed with the laser.

After surgery, the upper eyelids no longer droop and the skin under the eyes is smooth and firm.

Eyelid surgery usually takes 1-2 hours. It can be performed in the surgical suite at Georgia Plastic Surgery or in the hospital outpatient department. There will be swelling and some bruising. You should expect to be out of work one week.
