Eyelid Lift
There is perhaps no single procedure that rejuvenates the face more than blepharoplasty. Heredity, aging, lifestyle, and sun exposure cause the skin of the upper and lower eyelids to stretch and thin and the muscles to deteriorate.
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty in Denver, CO, is a facial plastic surgery procedure to improve or lift droopy eyelids. To learn more, please call Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery at (303)-320-5566 to arrange a consultation at our Denver office.
FAQs
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery have:
- Excessive sagging or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin
- Excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision, especially peripheral vision
- Lost or hidden natural upper eyelid crease
- Puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids that create a tired or aged appearance
Your upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgeons at Grossman Capraro will make an incision by the natural crease in the upper eyelids and below the lower eyelid lash line. Excess fat and skin are removed from the eyelid region.
In certain cases where excess skin is only present in the lower eyelids, lasers can be used to shrink the skin and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Your sutures will be removed three to five days after your procedure. You may experience bruising and sensitivity to light for a week or two after surgery, but this will gradually subside. Eye makeup can be worn once your sutures are removed. It may take 7-10 days before you can wear contact lenses. The entire healing process will vary among individuals, but it generally takes 2-4 weeks to complete.
Often, our surgeon will perform an upper eyelid surgery in conjunction with other procedures to provide enhanced results. These facial restoration procedures may include:
