Eyelid Lift Tampa Bay, Florida
Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that can restore the appearance of droopy and wrinkled eyelids and reduce puffiness around the lower eyelid. Eberbach Plastic Surgery in Tampa Bay offers blepharoplasty for patients who want to giv their eyes a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure where excess skin is removed from the upper and lower eyelids in order to give the eyelids a smoother and more youthful appearance. Aging and other factors can lead to skin laxity which causes wrinkling and dropping in the upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty removes excess tissue and lifts the remaining tissue to eliminate wrinkling and make the eyes appear more alert.
The incisions for the procedure are carefully made along the natural creases of the upper eyelid. Placing them along this crease will help to hide the appearance of any post-surgical marks for more natural-looking results.
Underlying fatty tissue that produces bagginess in the lower lids is either removed or repositioned to reduce puffiness underneath the eyes without giving them a sunken appearance.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Eberbach specializes in procedures of the face and can provide you with natural-looking results from your blepharoplasty.
When to Consider Eyelid Surgery
- If you have excess, hanging skin covering the natural fold of the upper eyelids
- If you have loose skin hanging down from the upper eyelids over the eyelashes
- If your upper and lower eyelids appear puffy, making your eyes look tired and aged
- If you have deep grooves under your eyes
Blepharoplasty can also be performed along with other facial procedures as a way to complement or enhance the patient’s overall results. Eyelid surgery is often performed in conjunction with a facelift, brow lift, or FaceTite procedure for more dramatic facial rejuvenation.
Recovering from Blepharoplasty
Any bruising and swelling following eyelid surgery will take around two weeks to dissipate. Post-surgical marks will be well hidden to help ensure your results look as natural as possible. Most patients return to work once they feel comfortable enough with their appearance which can take up to two weeks.
