Eyelid Surgery in Seattle and Bellevue

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 are 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 redraping the fat. This reduces the tear trough and prevents the hollowed out look.
  • A resuspension of the lower lids (canthopexy) is commonly done for rejuvenation of the eye.

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. Swelling will progressively disappear over
    several weeks.
  • Eye makeup can be used shortly after sutures are removed.
  • Contact lenses can be worn when eyes are comfortable- usually within 3-5 days.
