Thinking about upper eyelid surgery, whether for functional or aesthetic purposes, can be quite daunting. Discover more about various eyelid procedures, the specific guidelines for these surgeries, and the significance of managing Dry Eye.
Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic operation that eliminates excess, drooping skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eye region. ReGenesis Wellness & Medspa focuses on upper eyelid procedures tailored to our clients' aesthetic aspirations and to alleviate vision issues caused by surplus tissue.
Individuals dissatisfied with the appearance of their upper eyelids or experiencing impaired peripheral vision due to excess tissue might contemplate upper eyelid surgery to address these concerns. Many find that the procedure results in a more refreshed and youthful look.
The procedure begins with an examination and vision test to confirm your suitability for surgery. Photographs of your eyelids will be taken from multiple angles to plan the operation according to your desired outcomes.
On the day of surgery, the surgeon will numb the area around your eyes and may offer medication for relaxation. Small cuts are made along the upper eyelids, removing unnecessary tissue as per the surgical plan, followed by stitching up the incisions.
This outpatient procedure requires someone to drive you home afterward and stay with you overnight.
Some patients may qualify for insurance-covered medical eyelid surgery. Others may opt for a cosmetic upper eyelid lift at their own expense if they do not qualify for medical coverage.
All surgeries carry minor risks; however, some experience discomfort at the surgical site, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or dry eyes, which typically subside in several days. Bruising and swelling usually diminish within 10 to 14 days, revealing final results.
Following post-operative care instructions enhances recovery. Apply ice packs on your eyes for 10 minutes each hour to reduce swelling. Refrain from heavy lifting or intense activities for at least one week post-surgery and avoid smoking during recovery. If you wear contacts, switch to glasses for two weeks.
