Since there is not much tissue support in the eyelids, this is often the first area to show signs of aging. The eyes are also the first feature others see when they look at you. Aging eyes can make you appear tired, sad, or just plain old. Occasionally, the excess skin of the upper eyelid is often what contributes to the appearance of aging. For this reason, people often focus first on their eyes before they express concern about improving the appearance of their neck, or other areas.

During eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, it is of utmost importance to determine the appropriate amount of skin, muscle, and fat to be removed in order to obtain optimal and natural results. Therefore, it is important to choose a surgeon with experience and expertise in eyelid surgery.

The recovery time is short, and you can be back to work within 3 to 5 days. Pain is minimal and can be managed with Tylenol. Swelling and bruising are minimized by the medication provided after surgery. In a few short weeks you will look alert, rested and refreshed.
