Eyelift Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Tired looking eyes no more:

• Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids.
• Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, can be treated by eyelid lift surgery.
• Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.
• Bags under the eyes can be corrected by blepharoplasty.
• Lower eyelid surgery can correct droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye).

Is it right for me?

At Bednar Cosmetic Surgery, a blepharoplasty procedure is usually performed on adult men and women who have healthy facial tissue and muscles and have realistic goals for improvement of the upper and/or lower eyelids and surrounding area.

Good candidates for cosmetic eyelid surgery are:

• Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
• Non-smokers
• Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for blepharoplasty
• Individuals without serious eye conditions

You must tell Dr. Bednar if you have any of these medical conditions:

• Eye disease such as glaucoma, dry eye or a detached retina
• Thyroid disorders such as Graves’ disease and under or overactive thyroid
• Cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders or diabetes
