Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery and What Will It Do For You?

What is Eyelid Surgery?

In order to remove excess fat along the skin and muscle around the upper and lower eyelids, an individual may choose to undergo eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”).

It will brighten up your face
It will provide you with a rested and youthful appearance
It can improve vision if sagging skin is in the way of upper eyelids and is prohibiting peripheral vision
It may decrease but not eliminate the wrinkles around the eyes, “crow’s feet”. (There are other facial cosmetic procedures for these conditions.)

What to expect during your initial consultation

It is important that you discuss all of your questions and concerns during an initial eyelid surgery consultation with our skilled Chicago plastic surgeon.

She can evaluate the condition of your eyes as well as discuss your expectations and goals for eyelid surgery. In addition, our cosmetic surgeon will discuss your medical history and any current medical conditions you are facing.

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia (the portion being operated on is numbed) and a light intravenous sedation. This is an outpatient procedure performed in either an office setting, outpatient surgical center, or for severe cases, a hospital.
