Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) Hinsdale, IL | Kouris M.D. Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
About Eyelid Surgery
A person's eyes are a beautiful aspect of the face that deserves to be seen, but sometimes an excess of skin on top or around the eyes can render an unflattering facial appearance. Aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. George Kouris performs eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to lift and tighten the lower or upper eyelid, creating a look that appears softer and rejuvenated.
Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Lift
Blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement popular among both women and men. During the initial consultation, Dr. Kouris will provide treatment options based on individual conditions needing correction.
Typical Candidate Characteristics
- Excess, sagging skin on upper eyelids
- Puffy skin beneath bottom eyelids
- Vision impairment due to hanging skin
- Desire for a more awake and refreshed facial appearance
Surgical Techniques
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery assists in reducing loose skin that impairs vision. The incision is often placed along the natural crease to remove excess skin and tissue, producing a more flattering look.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower blepharoplasty improves bulging, bloated skin underneath the lower lid. An incision is typically made below the lash line to surgically remove fat, gently lifting the skin to create a flatter, smoother appearance.
Procedure Expectations
Blepharoplasty can take up to two hours, depending on whether one or both eyes are treated. Patients should allow several days for rest and recovery. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort.
Complementary Treatments
While blepharoplasty results can last a decade or longer, additional nonsurgical treatments like injections, fillers, and laser procedures can help maintain and enhance surgical outcomes.
