Eye Lifts
Eyelid surgery
removes extra skin and/or fat from the upper or lower lids and raises
droopy eyelids. Cosmetic surgery can also remove puffiness and bags
under the eyes. |

How is
the procedure done?
Lifts can be done on the upper and/or lower eyelids. When the upper eyelid is done, an elliptical incision is made and a small amount of skin is removed. A laser may be used for this procedure. When the lower eyelid is done, an incision is usually made on the inside of the lower lid and a very small amount of fat is removed. This procedure reduces "puffiness". Then, many times a resurfacing type of procedure will be performed to cause collagen tightening and help firm the skin. |
The surgery can be carried out under a local
anesthesia but general anesthesia is usually preferred. The surgery can be performed in an outpatient setting and takes approximately 1 - 2 hours depending on if only upper or lower lids are being done or both. Healing time is approximately 1 week
for upper or lower lids. If a resurfacing procedure is carried out at the same time it may take 10 days.
What does it cost ?
The cost will vary depending upon if the upper or lower eye lids are done and whether both eyes are done at the same time. It is much less expensive to do both at the same time. Sometimes, insurance will help to cover the expense if the excess skin is enough to impair your vision.
