Blepharoplasty Traverse City, MI | Center For Plastic Surgery: Jeffries Christopher MD

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Cosmetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and wrinkled, drooping skin from the upper and lower eyelids. The primary goal is to restore a more alert, youthful, and rested appearance.

Conditions Addressed

• Eye bags
• Sagging eyelid skin
• Excess upper eyelid skin

Surgical Technique

Center For Plastic Surgery surgeons utilize strategic surgical approaches to achieve optimal results. The incision is carefully placed within the natural eyelid fold, extending slightly beyond the eye's outer corner to blend seamlessly with existing facial contours.

Upper Eyelid Procedure

For upper eyelids, surgeons make an incision hidden within the natural eyelid fold. If eyebrow sagging contributes to the aesthetic concern, a complementary brow lift might be recommended. Multiple lifting techniques are available, ranging from limited incision "endoscopic" lifts to traditional open approaches.

Lower Eyelid Treatment

Lower eyelid treatment involves an incision hidden just below the lower lash line. When skin excess is minimal, surgeons might utilize an internal lid technique for fat removal. In some cases, laser resurfacing can be employed to tighten skin and enhance overall results.

Procedure Details

• Performed as an outpatient procedure
• Minimal to manageable patient discomfort
• Expected swelling for approximately one week
• Return to normal activities within ten days
• Makeup can conceal residual discoloration after one week

Patient Considerations

Each eyelid lift is tailored to the individual's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The Center For Plastic Surgery prioritizes natural-looking results that enhance the patient's inherent features.
