 Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is divided into 2 categories: upper and lower. Together, these procedures remove the excess fat and skin from both the upper and lower lids. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer eye area. During your consultation Dr. Yeung will help you decide whether any additional surgery will complement the success of the surgery. For example, a simultaneous forehead lift or brow lift may help correct a drooping brow and smooth the forehead, followed by a chemical peel for deeper lines and crows feet. The surgery can be done in the office and requires little to no down time. Sutures are removed in three to five days. The procedure takes about 2 hours with in office local sedation. After Surgery: A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal. Cold eye gels are used immediately the day after surgery to reduce swelling. For a week after surgery the eyes may feel sticky, dry, and itchy. Eye drops are recommended and sterile ointment is prescribed to keep the eye area clean. Sutures are removed in three to five days after surgery. Self absorbing stitches will dissolve on their own. The result is beautiful, rejuvenated, with younger looking eyes. Dr. Yeung has experience with all types of ethnicities and can create any eye look desired. To view our Before & After Gallery click here. BACK |
