EYELID LIFT | BLEPHAROPLASTY

EYELID LIFT | BLEPHAROPLASTY

WHAT IS EYELID SURGERY?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Surgery can be performed on either the upper or lower lids, or both.

Whether you want to improve your appearance, or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, this procedure can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes. These procedures are performed within the privacy of our accredited AAAHC Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery facilities.

Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat:

  • Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
  • Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

EYELID LIFT PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Meet Joanne, 39

Mother, wife and animal lover

“I am ready to get started on my journey today.”

Headshot photo of patient Joanne before eyelid lift surgery.

BEFORE

Joanne is an animal advocate who opened a petting zoo in central Ohio. While she’s embraced all aspects of nature, she wasn’t happy with the changes she started seeing in her eyes. So, Joanne sought out treatment, and now she is thrilled with what she sees!
Joanne’s Recommended Treatments
UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY to remove excess eyelid skin and puffiness caused by herniated fat pads.
PHENOL PEEL to diminish under eye wrinkles and creases. In addition, this specialized peel removes the dark circles from under the eyes.
LATISSE® to grow lashes fuller, longer and darker.

“I love having fuller, longer, darker lashes!” — Joanne

Joanne felt that her eyes made her look older and fatigued. After an in-depth consultation, Dr. Diamantis felt she was a good candidate for cosmetic eyelid lift. During the time of these pictures, Joanne was two months out of an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Now, she feels and looks great!

WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR EYELID SURGERY?

In general, good candidates for this procedure include:

  • Healthy individuals 
  • Non-smokers
  • Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for eyelid surgery
  • Individuals without serious eye conditions

Remember, the eyelids are part of the face. The appearance of a drooping upper lid may also be due to relaxation of the forehead skin and eyebrow. Sometimes a drooping eyelid is caused by stretching an upper eyelid muscle, called the levator.

Dr. Diamantis will evaluate your anatomy thoroughly to determine the causes of your eyelid appearance, and what procedures might best remedy them!

THE EXPERIENCE

This is a simple procedure performed in our accredited office while you are awake under general anesthesia. This procedure can take up to a half hour to 2 hours, depending if both upper and lower eyelids are being treated.

Most patients return to work 4-7 days after their procedure while avoiding strenuous activities. Immediately after your surgery, it’s recommended to take a short rest, usually 12 hours, with general recovery in the following days.
