Blepharoplasty in Saint Clair Shores
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to reduce under-eye bags, improve sagging upper lids, eliminate excess wrinkles, and create a more youthful look. The eyes are often one of the first features people notice, and aging can cause wrinkles, lines, and puffiness, giving a tired or aged appearance. Blepharoplasty is commonly combined with other facial procedures, such as facelifts or rhinoplasty, for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Reasons for Considering Eyelid Surgery in Michigan:
General procedure
The eyelid surgery involves making small incisions in the natural folds around the eyes, leaving minimal visible scarring. Dr. Rodriguez typically starts with the upper eyelids, removing excess fat and tightening loose skin. The lower eyelids are then treated to reduce puffiness and improve dark circles. In some cases, laser technology may be used for smoother results on the lower eyelids, and Botox may be applied to firm fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure usually lasts between one and three hours, with the possibility of a longer duration if combined with other cosmetic treatments.
Recovery Process
Post-operative instructions generally recommend ample rest and limited movement to promote healing and shorten recovery time. Discomfort is minimal, and complications are rare. By carefully following the provided aftercare guidelines, patients can reduce the risk of any issues. The result is a refreshed, youthful appearance, and most patients are able to return to work within two weeks.
