Eyelid Surgery Oklahoma City: Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a surgical cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids and rejuvenate the area surrounding the eyes. For eyelid surgery, Oklahoma City patients trust Dr. Tim Love.
Oklahoma City Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Can Treat:
- Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
- Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
- Droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Good candidates for blepharoplasty:
Eyelid surgery is usually performed on adults who have healthy facial tissue and muscles and who have realistic expectations for improvement. If you are considering eyelid surgery, OKC plastic surgeon Dr. Tim Love says he looks for the following in good candidates:
- Healthy individuals who don’t have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
- Non-smokers
- Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for their eyelid surgery
- Individuals without serious eye conditions
What to Expect During Eyelid Surgery:
Step 1 – Anesthesia
Anesthesia will be administered by a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist.
Step 2 – The Incision
Incisional lines for eyelid surgery are designed for scars to be well-concealed with the natural structure of the eyelid region. 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.
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.
Step 3 – Closing the Incisions
Eyelid incisions typically are closed with removable or absorbable sutures.
Step 4 – See the Results
The results of eyelid surgery will appear gradually as swelling and bruising subside to reveal a smooth, better-defined eyelid and surrounding region, and an alert and rejuvenated appearance.
