Eyelid lift in Denver

Are you tired of people asking if you are tired when you are not?

Perhaps the solution could be an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty.

This might be the right procedure for you if you have:

• Excessive sagging or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin
• Excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision
• Lost your natural 'upper eyelid crease
• Puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids that create a tired or aged
  appearance

The Intended result:

• A more youthful and rested appearance of the eyes
• Widening of visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision

The Surgery:

Blepharoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The incisions are made where the natural crease should be in the upper lids and below the lash line in the lower lids. Excess fat and skin are removed. If only excess fat is present in the lower lids, it may be removed through an incision inside the lower lids with no external incision (transconjunctival blepharoplasty).

All sutures are usually removed within four to six days and any mild discomfort is easily controlled with pain medication. Bruising and sensitivity to light last at least a week or two, but eye makeup can be worn after the sutures are removed. Contact lenses can be worn when comfortable which is usually within a week to ten days.

Additional procedures that would enhance the result are Forehead Lift, Facelift, Chemical Peel or Laser Skin Resurfacing.
