Cosmetic eyelid surgery (medically known as a blepharoplasty) can restore either or both of your upper eyelids and lower eyelids to give you a refreshed, reawakened, and revitalized appearance. This facial plastic surgery procedure is ideal for patients who experience any of the following cosmetic concerns: permanent under-eye circles, persistent puffiness, baggy eyes, or facial aging such as crow’s feet, wrinkles, folds, and fine lines.
Dr. Min and the Newvue clinical team specialize in eyelid surgery to give our Seattle patients a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Schedule a consultation with our clinic today to discover how this treatment can work for you.
Not everyone in Seattle will be in a position to undergo blepharoplasty. Here are some considerations to be an ideal candidate for this procedure:
If your eyelids are impacting your vision, or if the cosmetic appearance of your eyelids are contributing to negative self-esteem and social discomfort, an eyelid surgery may be recommended.
Our plastic surgery team will take care to perform any incisions along your natural eye creases, to properly conceal any scars as best as we can. Typically, Seattle patients can expect the eyelid surgery procedure to takes a couple of hours, and is administered with anesthesia and eye protection for your comfort.
The upper eyelid procedure and the lower eyelid procedure are very similar to each other, but mainly differ in treatment location. During the upper blepharoplasty, an incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove the excess skin and fat. In the lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made directly below the eyelashes.
In both cases, the fatty tissue and muscles around the eyes may be redistributed or altered to enhance the shape, firmness, and cosmetic appearance of the eyes. With your approval, we can also combine the surgical procedure with laser treatments or dermal fillers for further enhancement. Here are a few recommendations for our patients to help them comfortably plan their procedure:
Following these guidelines, along with personalized guidance for your recovery program, will help make your experience comfortable and effective.
Our Newvue medical team will thoroughly prep you on the post-operative directions and guidance you need to know to recover optimally from your Seattle eyelid surgery. For most patients, the total recovery time is two weeks. Here are some general guidelines and tips that we offer to our patients:
Following these guidelines, as well as individual guidance given to you for your recovery program, will help you achieve a smooth and hassle-free recovery.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Min will discuss your treatment and cosmetic goals with you and learn what you are hoping to get out of this makeover. You can opt for an upper eyelid surgery, a lower eyelid surgery, combining both upper and lower eyelid surgeries in one procedure, or combining these procedures with a brow lift for a full facial rejuvenation.
