Blepharoplasty Is One Of The Best Anti-Aging Procedures Because The Eye Area Ages Faster Than Others

The area around the eyes ages more definitively than many other areas of your face. The muscles around the upper eyelids lose some of their elasticity and begin to droop, causing the eyes to appear tired. Areas of fat tissue underneath your eyes may also become more pronounced, leading to puffiness. Plastic surgeons use blepharoplasty to tighten the muscles around your eyelids and remove the excess fat tissue, thereby opening your eyes and creating a younger appearance that looks completely natural. Many plastic surgeons provide exceptional patient recovery care.

Your goals will be discussed realistically with a plastic surgeon. Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries. Together you will decide which procedures your surgeon will perform in order to achieve your desired results. You will set a date for surgery and be given instructions on how to prepare.

Your eyelid lift cosmetic surgery is performed under local anesthesia. For the upper eyelid, the plastic surgeon makes incisions following the natural lines of your eyelids. The surgeon will generally conceal the incision within the natural fold of your upper eyelid. He then removes any excess skin and fatty tissue.

For a lower eyelid cosmetic procedure, the plastic surgeon often conceals an incision below your lower lashes. Through this incision, he or she removes any excess skin, muscle, and fat. In some cases, the surgeon may redistribute this fat to eliminate puffiness or bulges around your eyes. Many plastic surgeons work with a board certified operating team. Following your blepharoplasty procedure you can anticipate a rapid recovery rate with a plastic surgeon's extensive post-operative care program. You will have access to a vitamin regimen, a personal nurse, and your surgeon will check on you mornings and afternoons. Lymphatic massage is available at your request.

Plastic surgeons sometimes perform a brow lift in conjunction with eyelid surgery. A brow lift is used to tighten the skin of your forehead, removing your "frown lines" and wrinkles and helping to create a more youthful appearance. A forehead lift or brow lift can help restore vibrancy to your face. Natural-looking results virtually undo the unwanted effects of time.

Your forehead lift will be performed under general anesthesia administered by a board certified anesthesiologist. The duration of brow lift cosmetic surgery depends upon which procedures the surgeon is performing. They will either use the classic method or the endoscopic method to tighten your brow. Both procedures involve inconspicuous incisions in the hairline. The plastic surgeon will then tighten your brow skin and remove any excess tissue that causes drooping. He or she will then reset your brow line so that it can heal. Just like with eyelid surgery, you will have access to a vitamin regimen, a personal nurse, have two nurses caring for you, and your surgeon will check on you mornings and afternoons.
