Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)

We have all heard the saying "The eyes are the windows to your soul". Thesigns of premature aging include sagging upper and lower eyelids, fine lines, wrinkles and bulging fat. These changes can make you look tired and older. These conditions can add years to your appearance and even impair your vision. An Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is the preferred treatment for removing bags under the eyes or drooping eyelids.

Dr. Martini can help enhance your look with an eyelid lift for a relaxed, rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. A blepharoplasty can create a dramatic difference in confidence levels, because when you look your best you feel your best. To achieve optimal results, Dr. Martini may also recommend other procedures to enhance your outcome, such as a fat transfer to the temple area or adding a brow or face lift.

Eyelid surgery may be comfortably performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Tiny incisions are hidden within the natural lines of your eyelids. Excess skin is removed from the upper and/or lower lids as well as sculpting the fat and tightening muscle to help you attain a fresher, more awake eye expression. Usually, you will be ready to return to work or normal activities in 7 to 14 days.

Most patients are back to their normal routine within days, although complete recovery may take a few weeks. A small degree of swelling, bruising and some discomfort are part of the recovery process and can be alleviated with cold compresses and appropriate medication.
