Accepted Answer

Blepharoplasty: Eyelid surgery is a procedure used to treat excess skin and/or fat on the upper and lower lids, via surgical excision.  Aside from a cosmetic indication, there may also be medical indications for the procedure, including improvement of obscured vision, lid tightening, and treatment for congenital or acquired abnormalities.

Question 7

how is cosmetic eyelid surgery done?

Accepted Answer

Blepharoplasty: In general, eyelid surgery entails removal of a small amount of skin and fat in the eyelids.  The incision in the upper eyelid is placed in a natural crease and blends well.  In the lower lid, the incision is hidden just below the lashes.  In cases when no skin needs to be removed from the lower lid, the incision can be made inside the lower eyelid.

Eyelid surgery cost: When done in an office setting, $2000-$3000. When done in a surgical center add another $1000 or so, depending on the area.

Question 9

how did you feel right after lower eyelid surgery?

Accepted Answer

Some discomfort : After lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) you will have some swelling and bruising that can last a week and up to two depending on the technique used.  Your doctor will give you drops to reduce the inflammation and the irritation of your eyes.

Question 10

how can i care for myself after browlift or eyelid surgery?

Accepted Answer

Pretty simple...: Generally we ask people not to lie flat for 2-3 days and apply cold compresses to the eyelids: these will help minimize bruising and swelling. You should avoid activities that will raise your blood pressure for about 10 days to minimize the chance of re-bleeding. These kind of operations generally heal quite quickly because of the excellent blood supply to the head and neck.
