To Open Up Your Eyes, Upper Eyelid Surgery May be the Right Option for You!

This procedure elevates the sagging upper eyelid skin that may be causing heaviness and causing you to look tired. The skin is actually “weighing down” the upper eyelid, causing it to droop. As skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity and then it sags. A lack of elasticity plus the constant pull from gravity causes excessive skin to collect on the upper eyelid. An upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin from the upper eyelids, giving a more refreshed open-eyed appearance. This is also an effective way to improve sight in older people whose sagging upper eyelids get in the way of their vision when an extra fold of skin can hang over the eyelashes and get in the way of seeing. If you are looking to improve your tired-looking eyes and have a more refreshed and younger-looking appearance ask Dr. Mariam Awada how an upper blepharoplasty can help you achieve your goals!

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Your Eyelid Surgery Consultation

An eyelid surgery consultation involves a careful assessment of your drooping eyelids. Dr. Awada will ask about your complete medical history to determine your eligibility for the procedure.

An overview of the eyelid surgery will be provided during a consultation to help you visualize the possible results. Since the results are permanent, it is best to set realistic expectations.

Once you are eligible for the eyelid surgery, Dr. Awada will give special instructions to help you prepare before, during, and after the procedure.

How to Prepare for Eyelid Surgery

The best preparation for an eyelid surgery is to secure your transportation before the day of the procedure. Your vision may be blurry after the eyelid surgery, but your clear vision will return after two to three days. It is highly recommended to have a companion for assistance in the first 24 hours after the procedure.

Set your time off work for at least one week, and prepare your meals in advance. Make sure to include food that is high in protein, vitamins, and minerals to improve your healing process.

Prepare your sleeping area with enough pillows to secure your sleeping position. Sleep on your back, and avoid touching the newly lifted eyelids.

Other special instructions will be provided by Dr. Awada during your consultation. Arrange a consultation to have your eyelids assessed today.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt you looked exhausted due to your lower eyelids?

Have friends or family told you always look tired even when you are well-rested? Sagging lower eyelids can cause premature aging and make you look exhausted. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Mariam Awada will separate the skin from the underlying tissue, remove the excess fat and skin, then tighten the muscles – smoothing of the lower eyelid transition to help you achieve a more rested and youthful appearance. Lower eyelid surgery can reduce bagginess from lower eyelids, rid the lower eyelids of excess skin that causes wrinkles and bulges and give you back the more rested youthful look you want to see reflected back in the mirror!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Eyelid Surgery Painful?

Eyelid surgery is not a painful cosmetic procedure, since local anesthesia with sedation is used beforehand. This creates effective numbing for 4-6 hours. The eyelid procedure will be completed in only 1-3 hours. After the procedure, pain medication will be prescribed.

What Is the Best Age to Have Eyelid Surgery?

The eyelids begin to droop around the age of 30. This is the ideal age for eyelid surgery for most patients. People considering eyelid surgery who are younger than 30 may also be eligible, as long as they are at least 18 years old.

During the consultation, Dr. Awada will assess the signs and symptoms of skin aging around your eyes and determine your eligibility for the procedure.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Eyelid Surgery?

The initial recovery period for eyelid surgery is 5-7 days. During this period, expect swelling and bruising. You may need to request time off work to make sure you are recovering properly. In 10-14 days, desk work can be resumed.

Light exercise can be continued 4 weeks after the eyelid surgery. Avoid strenuous activities until after 4-6 weeks.

Use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol to maintain your body’s healthy and natural healing process.

Is Eyelid Surgery Risky?

Every surgery has potential complications, which is why it’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon. Board-certified plastic surgeons have the years of experience and training needed to avoid surgical risks related to anesthesia, allergic reactions, excessive bleeding, and infections.

Dr. Awada is a board-certified plastic surgeon who knows how to prioritize your safety while achieving high-quality results.
