The eyes tell all, so we’re told, so why not rejuvenate them with Los Angeles/Glendale Eyelid Surgery and Blepharoplasty services and techniques from well-known and trusted source, Dr. Farbod Esmailian. As with any other body part, age takes it toll, including the upper and lower eyelids, where sagging occurs as the natural forces of gravity and mother nature takes hold. This sagging can also interfere with your vision as you work harder to raise your eyelids.
The upper eyelid is corrected by making an incision in the natural crease of the eyelid and from there, skin, muscle and if needed fat are removed to rejuvenate and freshen the appearance of the upper eyelid. This allows to recreate the youthful appearance of the eyelid. Sutures are usually removed 5-7 days after the surgery.
The lower eyelid procedure can be more variable. If it is simply the fat bulging that is giving the aged appearance then the transconjunctivial approach may be used. This technique leaves no visible scars as the incision is placed inside the eyelid. The protruding fat can either be reduced or redraped. If there is in addition excess loose skin, then a subciliary technique may be used. This involves an incision just below the lash line, which will virtually be invisible once healing has taken place, and the excess skin, muscle and fat can be addressed. The sutures in this approach are self dissolving and no need for removal.
Regarding recovery from eyelid surgery, patients should expect redness and swelling around the incision areas, along with excessive tearing of the eyes. These symptoms are normal and should be no cause for alarm. You may also experience sensitivity to light, which will lesson as the days go by. Dr. Esmailian and his dedicated staff will provide the necessary guidance and care you need immediately after your Los Angeles/Glendale Eyelid Surgery and Blepharoplasty service.
