Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery When
your eyes are bright and alert, you appear energized, well-rested, and
in control. However, if you have lower-eyelid puffiness, dark circles
or drooping upper lids, others may assume that you are fatigued, angry
or unhappy.
You
may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if you have
any of the following conditions:
Upper
eyelids
Excess
skin that hides the natural fold of the upper
lids
Loose
skin that hangs down from the upper eyelids
Puffiness
in the upper eyelids that creates a tired look
Lower
eyelids
Excess
skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids
Puffy
"bags" and, in some cases dark circles
How
is cosmetic eyelid surgery performed?
The specific method used for eyelid surgery will be
determined by your features and Dr. Wigoda's
preferences.
Upper
eyelids:
Typically, the incision begins within the natural crease
of the eye's inside corner and extends slightly beyond
the outside corner into the crow's feet or laugh lines.
Through this incision, excess skin and fatty tissue are
removed. The incision line follows the natural contour
of the upper eyelid, and is camouflaged when healed.
Lower
eyelids:
Usually, the incision is concealed just below the lower
lashes. Through this incision, excess skin, muscle, and
fat are removed. Dr. Wigoda may also make special
adjustments. For example, the fat beneath the eye can be
redistributed to eliminate puffiness or bulges. In some
patients, the underlying muscle will be tightened.
