Procedure

Eyelift lift surgery may be performed using one or more of the following techniques to meet the unique aesthetic and functional needs of a patient:

Upper Eyelid Lift

Patients who need a correction related to the folds or swelling appearing in the upper eyelids can benefit from this technique. Dr. Jones will perform this procedure by making a small incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Loose skin and excess fatty deposits will be removed through the incision and underlying muscles may be tightened.

Lower Eyelid Lift

Patients who are unhappy with the appearance of eye bags below the lower eyelids and droopy eyes can benefit from lower eyelid lift. The incision will be made discreetly within the lower lash line. The surgeon will remove excess skin through the incision to provide a tighter, smoother skin, and restore a rejuvenated appearance.

Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery

This is a state of the art technique to perform lower eyelid surgery. The surgeon will make an incision on the inside of the eyelid to remove excess fat and skin bags. Scarring becomes invisible on the outside because the incision is made inside the eyelid. If the patient has a substantial amount of loose skin in the lower eyelid area, a minor supplementary procedure called “skin pinch” excision may be performed to achieve more comprehensive outcomes.

Recovery

Most patients will recover in about one week. Minor eye irritation, swelling, bruising, or dry eyes can be expected initially, which will go away on its own. Sun protection is necessary for several weeks until the healing process is completed.
