UNDERSTANDING EYELID LIFT SURGERY

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure
designed to correct signs of aging around the eyes. Summit Plastic
Surgery offers comprehensive eyelid lift procedures targeting both
upper and lower eyelids, helping patients restore a more youthful and
refreshed appearance.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The eyelid lift procedure involves removing excess skin and fat
deposits that contribute to a tired or aged look. Surgeons can address
upper and lower eyelids separately or simultaneously, depending on
individual patient needs.

SURGICAL DETAILS

 	* Outpatient procedure lasting approximately 1-2 hours
	* Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general
anesthesia
	* Can be combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques

CANDIDATE EVALUATION FOR EYELID SURGERY

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery include individuals experiencing:

 	* Loose or sagging skin around the eyes
	* Pronounced under-eye bags
	* A desire to look less tired or sad
	* Minimal visual obstruction from upper eyelid skin

IMPORTANT SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The eyelid lift procedure effectively resets the aging process by 5-10
years. However, natural aging will continue after surgery. Patients
should have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes and
understand that results are not permanent.

POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND CARE

Recovery requires careful management to ensure optimal healing.
Patients must maintain an elevated head position, avoid contact lens
wear, and limit physical activity during the initial healing phase.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS

 	* Temporary eye dryness
	* Potential corneal irritation
	* Rare instances of lid retraction
	* Standard surgical risks like bleeding and infection

INSURANCE AND PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

Lower eyelid surgery is typically considered cosmetic and not covered
by insurance. Upper eyelid surgery might be covered if a visual field
test demonstrates significant vision impairment.
