Eyelid Lift

Blepharoplasty

Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure to improve the following treatable conditions:

  • Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids.
  • Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, can be treated by eyelid lift surgery.
  • Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.
  • Bags under the eyes can be corrected by blepharoplasty.
  • Lower eyelid surgery can correct droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye).

Is it right for me?

A blepharoplasty procedure is usually performed on adult men and women who have healthy facial tissue and muscles and have realistic goals for improvement of the upper and/or lower eyelids and surrounding area. You should undergo blepharoplasty surgery for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

What Happens During Eyelid surgery?

01

Medications are administered for your comfort during the eyelid surgery procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Mueller will recommend the best choice for you.

02

The incision lines for eyelid surgery are designed for scars to be well concealed within the natural structures of the eyelid region.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Droopy conditions of the upper eyelid can be corrected through an incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid allowing repositioning of fat deposits, tightening of muscles and tissue, and/or removal of excess skin.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Conditions of the lower eyelid may be corrected with an incision just below the lower lash line. Through this incision, excess skin in the lower eyelids is removed. A transconjunctival incision, one hidden inside the lower eyelid, is an alternate technique to correct lower eyelid conditions and redistribute or remove excess fat.

03

Eyelid incisions typically are closed with removable or absorbable sutures. Dr. Mueller may use a laser or a chemical peel to erase dark discoloration of the lower eyelids or address skin scraping.

04

Eyelid surgery results will be long-lasting. Eyelid surgery can be expected to correct certain conditions permanently. The results of eyelid surgery will appear gradually over a few weeks as swelling and bruising subside to reveal a smooth, better-defined eyelid and surrounding region, and an alert and rejuvenated appearance.

While, you will continue to age naturally, life-long sun protection will help to maintain your results.
