Eyelid Surgery (blepharoplasty)

The eyes are the focal point of the face, contributing substantially to overall facial appearance. Bags beneath the eyes, wrinkled drooping layers of skin on the eyelids, and sagging eyebrows give the entire face a perpetually tired or sad expression.

Aesthetic eyelid surgery performed by Doctor Arons can brighten the face and restore a more youthful appearance by reducing the fat and extra skin that cause these conditions. The doctor frequently recommends blepharoplasty be performed along with a facelift or with other facial rejuvenating procedures.
You may be a candidate for only on the upper eyelids or lower eyelids or both if necessary, removing excess skin, as well as collections of fat under the skin that create puffiness and bagginess of the eyelids. Because eyelid skin is thin, you should expect some swelling and black and blue discoloration after surgery. The scars of the eyelids tend to heal exceedingly well and are often almost impossible to see. Your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light and susceptible to excess tearing or dryness. You may want to wear dark glasses for a couple of weeks to protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation, and avoid eyestrain from prolonged reading or television viewing. Plan to recover for at least 1-2 weeks following eyelid surgery. You will be able to resume wearing makeup and contact lenses after approximately one week.
