Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Bellevue and Seattle

Eyelid Surgery Seattle | Eyelid Surgery BellevueWho is a candidate for eyelid surgery?

  • If you have excessive, sagging or wrinkled upper and lower eyelid skin.
  • If you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision.
  • If you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease.
  • If you have puffy pouches of fat in lower lids along with tear troughs that create a tired and aged appearance.

    Intended results of eyelid surgery

  • A more youthful and rested appearance of the eyes.
  • Widening of visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision.
  • It will not remove or erase all wrinkle lines. It will soften wrinkle lines.

    Eyelid surgery procedure description

    • The operation is done on an outpatient basis mostly under sedation and local anesthesia.
    • The incisions are made where the natural crease should be in the upper lids and below the lash lines in the lower lids.
    • Excess fat and skin is judiciously removed.
    • If only excess fat is present in the lower lids, it may be removed through an incision inside the lower lids with no external incision or scar (transconjunctival blepharoplasty).
    • A unique procedure is often done to the lower lids by repositioning and re-draping the fat. This reduces the tear trough and maintains the youthful lid-cheek junction.
    • A re-suspension and tightening of the lower lids (canthopexy) is commonly done during lower lid rejuvenation.

    Recuperation and healing following eyelid surgery

    • All sutures are removed within 5 days.
    • Initial mild discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
    • Bruising will last up to one week and swelling will progressively disappear over several weeks.
    • Eye makeup can be used shortly after sutures are removed.

    Other options and information about eyelid surgery

    • Additional procedures that would enhance the result are Forehead Lift, Facelift, Midfacelifts, and Laser skin resurfacing.
    • There has been a tremendous evolution in the artistic elements of eyelid surgery in the past few years. Some times less is better. Every effort is made to re-create a youthful look without an unnatural or hollowed eye appearance that can result from an aggressive eyelid surgery.
