 Eyelid Surgery Virginia, Brow Lift
What is an eyelid lift?An eyelid lift or blepharoplasty, involves removing bulging fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids, and results in giving the eyelids a more rejuvenated and fresh appearance. An eyelid lift will reduce the saggy appearance of the upper lids, and a lower blepharoplasty will help the puffy, tired look of the lower lids. Who is a candidate for eyelid or brow surgery?If you have excess skin that is weighing down your upper eyelids and blocking your peripheral (outside) vision, you may need corrective surgery for medical reasons. The excess skin of the upper lid may actually be from the forehead skin drooping down, and you will be evaluated to determine what is the cause of the excess skin. Some people require a brow lift rather than upper eyelid surgery to correct the problem, and sometimes it is a combination of forehead skin and excess eyelid skin. If you appear to have excess skin blocking your peripheral vision, visual field testing will be done to check this, and if appropriate, the procedure will be preauthorized with your insurance. Eyelid and brow surgery can also be performed for cosmetic reasons, to help alleviate the heaviness around the eyes and give them a fresher, younger appearance. Women especially will tend to look stern or angry as their brows descend, and lifting them can often lighten their appearance, giving them a friendlier, more open countenance. How is an eyelid lift performed?For the upper eyelid, an incision is made in the eyelid crease, extending out to the side of the eye. Excess skin is removed, and sometimes a little fat is also taken, if there is bulging along with the excess skin. Tapes are put over the incision, and stitches and tapes are removed in 3-4 days, since eyelid skin is very thin and can heal quickly. This procedure is frequently done in the office under local anesthesia. For the lower lid, the incision is just below the lashes, extending out to the side. Fat is removed if there is puffiness, and excess skin is removed. Often the lower lid itself is also tightened in the outside corner. Tapes are placed under the eye and stitches and tapes are removed 3-4 days after surgery. This surgery is usually done in the office or ambulatory surgery center. What can be expected after eyelid surgery?Tapes are placed on the eyelid and are usually removed with the stitches in 3-4 days. Some bruising will occur, and can be corrected with camouflage makeup after the tapes are removed. Bruising will usually take 3-4 weeks to disappear. Most people can return to work in 3-4 days depending on their type of work. Vigorous exercise usually can be initiated within a week or two. What is a brow lift?A brow lift is done to elevate the brows and forehead that have
sagged over time. It will result in a fresher, younger appearance
since elevating the brows helps open up the eye area. It also
lightens the area between the brows, tightening the skin and reducing
wrinkles. What can be expected after a brow lift?Brow lift surgery is usually an outpatient procedure. The patient will be sent home with a dressing wrapped around the head (the hair is not shaved) which is usually removed in 24-72 hours. The hair can be washed once the dressing is removed. Staples or stitches are removed in 5-10 days, depending on what type of brow lift is performed. How do I know if I need a brow lift or eyelid surgery?Dr Wray will examine your face, evaluating what is causing the
problem of the excess skin, evaluating whether there is blockage
of the peripheral vision, and then accessing the areas that will
need to be addressed. Can eyelid surgery be redone?If over time excess eyelid skin recurs , eyelid surgery can be done again. Sometimes a brow lift is what is needed the second time around, since taking out too much eyelid skin can pull the brows down. This would be assessed at the time of your consult. Is eyelid or brow surgery painful?Usually upper eyelid surgery is done in the office, and patients frequently just use Tylenol or ibuprofen for discomfort. Lower lid surgery can be done in the office or as an outpatient surgery through an ambulatory surgery center, and patients may require a prescription pain medication for a day or so. Brow lift surgery is most often done as an outpatient surgery through an ambulatory surgery center, and the patient may require prescription pain medication for a few days.
