Each feature on your face plays an important role in your overall appearance, but if we had to play favorites and pick one of the most impacting, we would probably choose the eyes. Whether you have baby blues or beautiful browns, the eyes are one of the first features people notice. They also showcase emotion, telling people when you’re happy, sad, or tired.
The skin around the eyes is very delicate, and signs of aging tend to show up early. If you’ve noticed that you look tired, even when you’re well-rested, or if your eyelids have started to sag, come see us. Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, can refresh the skin around the eyes and on the eyelids. Even better, since the eyes are such a prominent facial feature, patients find that this one procedure provides improvement to the appearance of the entire face.
What Are the Benefits of an Eyelid Lift?
The benefits of blepharoplasty are many. This is one of our most requested procedures at Second to Creation and is consistently a top cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. Benefits vary from patient to patient. We’ll work with you determine if it can benefit you and will outline the specific ways that you’ll be impacted by the procedure during your consultation. Come in and discover your personalized benefits.
There is so much to love about this procedure! Some of our favorite things include:
- Customizable- We offer upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty. For patients that need to rejuvenate both eyelids, we can perform both procedures together.
- Minimal Scarring- Incisions for this procedure are carefully placed, often leaving no visible scarring when the eyes are open. Upper blepharoplasty incisions are placed in the crease of the upper eyelid. Incisions for a lower lift are hidden in the lash line or placed inside of the eyelid.
- Improve Vision- Sagging upper eyelids can block vision by covering part of the eye. Upper blepharoplasty can restore a full field of vision.
- No More Tired Eyes- Sagging or puffy eyelids can make the eyes look tired. This procedure refreshes facial appearance for a more rested look.
- Treat Wrinkling Around the Eyes- Blepharoplasty doesn’t just treat the eyelids; it can rejuvenate the entire eye area by smoothing crow’s feet and other wrinkles.
- Pairs Easily with Other Procedures- If you’re coming in for a facelift or brow lift, consider adding blepharoplasty to your procedure. Rejuvenating the eyes can enhance the results obtained from many other procedures. Plus, when you pair treatments together, you can recover from both at the same time.
- Short Recovery- Most patients miss a week or less of work after blepharoplasty.
- Long Lasting- Most patients will only need an eyelid lift once, enjoying results for the rest of their life. If further rejuvenation is needed, fillers and BOTOX® are often sufficient.
