Dr. Brian Evans Discussing The Important Aspects of Eye Lifting Surgery

The eye lift surgery is a medical intervention that aims at improving the unpleasant aesthetic appearance of the eyes, which usually results from ageing. This kind of surgery also improves the appearance of the eyelid, treating the excess skin that masks the natural contour of the upper eyelid, as well as excess fat deposits from the upper and lower eyelids.

The correction of these issues can only be done surgically with this intervention that comes with spectacular results for most patients. After undergoing surgery, you will notice a tremendous improvement of the eyelids and surrounding areas. Furthermore, eye lift can also be performed for correcting wrinkles and the area around the eyes in the lateral portion. It can be combined with other facial rejuvenation interventions such as face lift.

What you should also know about this intervention is that incisions are hidden in natural folds of the eyelids, while postoperative scars are virtually invisible. The outcome occurs gradually, reducing swelling and bruising with small steps. In the end, you will obtain a rejuvenated appearance of the eyelids and the surrounding region.

Another advantage of eye lift is that risks are rare, being usually limited to bleeding, small infection in the area of the incision, poor healing, visual disturbances and a local discomfort sensation. In addition to this, there are also other complications that are due to the type of anesthesia used.

You will be able to resume regular activities a day or two after surgery and the recovery process will take place gradually. During this period, you are strongly advised to be as gentle as possible with your face and hair because the skin will be numbed and more sensitive to stimuli. Your surgeon will give specific instructions that you need to follow during the recovery period. Other things to avoid are chores, alcohol, cigarettes, steam baths and saunas for at least a month. Furthermore, you should give your body enough rest and save energy in order to ensure a fast healing process.

At first, your face will look and feel strange. Several features will be distorted due to edema, while facial movements will be slow and you will also notice certain scars appearing on your face. Bruising will persist for 2-3 weeks, during which you get tired easily. No wonder that some patients are disappointed and depressed at first. However, starting from the 3rd week you will feel and look much better. Most patients are able to return to their jobs in 10-14 days, even though some of them need to use makeup in order to hide the signs of the eye lifting intervention.

Eyelid Surgery from Dr. Brian Evans Can Make You Look Brighter and Younger

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty creates an open, larger, brighter appearing eye. By removing excess loose skin and fatty tissue which produce bags of the upper or lower lid, the eye appears larger, less tired, more open and brighter.
In women, excess loose tissue prevents optimal use of makeup and obscures the normal contours of the eyelid. In both women and men, loose, sagging, bulging tissues make the eye appear smaller and more tired or stressed.
 The goal of eyelid surgery is to produce a significant improvement in eyelid appearance with the utmost safety.
If you have any type of eye disease or symptoms, these must be carefully investigated and considered in planning your blepharoplasty surgery, visit Brian Evans Plastic Surgery for more details. After examining you, Dr. Brian Evans may request a consultation from an ophthalmologist if he feels that your safety would benefit.

Limitations

There are limits to the amount of tissue which can or should be removed from the eyelid. Excessive removal of fat can produce a hollow, unnatural appearance. Excessive removal of skin can cause deformities or prevent proper eye closure. The key to the best result is precise planning of the procedure based on careful measurements of your eyelids.
Eyelid surgery cannot remove every wrinkle from the eyelid area. Differences which exist in the eyelids on both sides may be improved after surgery, but slight differences will always be present.

Risks

Risks of injury to the eye, infection or bleeding which could impair vision are extremely small, but do exist and must be considered.
Other risks common to all surgical procedures such as bleeding, infection and scar tissue formation occur in a very small percentage of cases. We will give you more detailed information about these and other rare risks in our written information, and encourage you to discuss any which concern you during your consultation.
If deformities exist in areas of the face besides the eyelids, additional procedures may be necessary in those areas for optimal facial appearance.

About The Operation

It is critically important that decisions regarding amounts of removal be made with you upright immediately prior to surgery, since the degree of deformities changes drastically when you lie down. For the most accurate correction, your eyelids must be measured and marked with you sitting before going to the operating room.
By using very fine electrosurgical instruments for many aspects of the procedure, risks of bleeding and the amount of bruising following the procedure are greatly reduced, speeding your recovery.

Incisions for eyelid surgery are placed deep in the fold of the upper eyelid and immediately beneath the lashes in the lower eyelid to make them inconspicuous. If only fat removal is necessary in the lower eyelid, the incision can sometimes be located on the inside of the lid.

During the procedure, excess skin is removed from the upper and lower eyelids to improve lid contours. If excess fatty tissue is producing bulges or bags, only the excess is carefully removed to produce a natural lid appearance.
After carefully rechecking the lid, the incisions are closed with tiny sutures or stitches.

Recovery

You will have virtually no pain whatever following your eyelid surgery. You'll have some swelling for the first two or three days after surgery, but it decreases rapidly by the third day.
When your sutures are removed on the fourth or fifth day after surgery, you can immediately apply makeup to the lids to hide any residual traces of bruising. You can usually return to your normal activities in a week or less.

The Stages of Recovery

Patients usually want to know about four stages of recovery: hospitalization time, when swelling or bruising is resolved, when they'll be able to return to work or social activity, and when they can return to full aerobic or strenuous exercise.
For eyelid procedures, the average procedure is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Bruising and swelling resole in 5-10 days or less. Patients can return to work and social activities within 14-21 days.

Most surgeons encourage immediate return to full normal activity immediately. Just don't do any type of strenuous exercise that would push your pulse over 100 for about two to three weeks. Any aerobic activity that increases your pulse over 100 also increases your blood pressure, and could make you bleed.
