Eyelid Surgery Consultation

At your eyelid surgery consultation, Dr. Kaniff will discuss your concerns and examine your eyelids. Based on this discussion and his experience he will recommend the best eyelid plastic surgery option. Often brow surgery is combined with eyelid surgery to reposition the brow to a more youthful position. If a droopy brow is present brow lift surgery should be considered at the same time as blepharoplasty. Dr. Kaniff may also recommend nonsurgical eyelid procedures such as injectable fillers and Botox / Dysport in addition to eyelid surgery or in some cases instead of eyelid surgery.

The Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Upper eyelid surgery or eye lift is performed through an incision in the natural skin crease above the eyelash line to remove excess fat and skin. Upper eyelid plastic surgery results in more youthful and rested looking eyes. Lower eyelid surgery is generally performed through an incision below the eyelash line. Fat, which often creates a puffy appearance, is removed along with excess skin. An incision-less method call trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty approaches the fat herniation from inside the lower eyelid so that no eyelid skin incision is necessary. This approach is often best suited for younger patients or those without excess skin.

Eyelid Surgery Recovery

Eyelid surgery recovery is measured in terms of days with minimal pain, swelling, and bruising. Most people having blepharoplasty returns to work after several days. No heavy bending, lifting or straining is recommended for two weeks.
