Sometimes, even after a great night’s sleep, it can be hard to feel alive with those tired drooping eyes looking back at you from the mirror. The loose skin over your eyes and the fat bags under your eyes make you look more tired and older than you feel inside. Eyelid surgery, called Blepharoplasty, can help restore a more energetic and youthful appearance.
Blepharoplasty can correct sagging eyelids, remove fatty pouches beneath the eyes and remove excess skin from the upper eyelids. In upper eyelid lift surgery, Doctor Reed first marks all the individual lines and creases of the lids in order to keep the incisions as invisible as possible along these natural folds. The incision is made and the precise amount of excess fat, muscle, and loose skin that are contributing to the problem are removed. In lower eyelid lift surgery, Doctor Reed makes the incision in an inconspicuous location just a few millimeters below the lash line and along the smile creases of the lower eyelid. Again skin, fat and muscle are precisely removed. Extremely fine sutures are then used to meticulously close the incisions, thus minimizing the visibility of any scar.
Dr Reed can advise you if this procedure is right for you at your free consultation.
