Eyelid Lift
Atlanta, Georgia (Johns Creek)
Are you considering an eyelid lift (also called a blepharoplasty)?
The eyes are the windows to the soul. The signs of premature aging, such as dark circles, sagging upper and lower eyelids, fine lines and wrinkles, can make you look tired and older. These aging eye conditions can add years to your appearance and even impair your vision. Eyelid lift (or blepharoplasty) is the treatment for removing bags under the eyes and/or correction of drooping eyelids.
What are the benefits of an eyelid lift?
By rejuvenating your eyes with an eyelid lift, I can help enhance your appearance and give your face a more youthful look. A Blepharoplasty can make a dramatic difference by helping you have a relaxed and youthful look. To achieve the best results, I may also recommend other procedures. Eyelid lift is often combined with fat transfer to the under eye and temple areas, laser skin resurfacing, a brow/temple lift, and/or a facelift.
What should I expect during my eyelid lift consultation?
We will meet to discuss your concerns with the appearance of your eyes. We will talk about any visual problems you may be having. I will assess the thickness and elasticity of your skin. It is helpful if you bring in photos of yourself in your prime. This will help me design a surgical plan for you.
