Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty is a very common procedure performed at the Hunstad Center.
This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. For upper eyelids,
typically the incision begins within the natural crease of the eye’s inside
corner and extends slightly beyond the outside corner into the crow’s feet
or laugh lines. Through this incision, Dr. Hunstad removes excess skin and fatty tissue. The incision line follows the natural contour of the upper eyelid,
and is camouflaged when healed. For lower eyelids, typically the incision
is concealed just below the lower lashes. Through this incision, excess
skin, muscle, and fat are removed. We can also make special adjustments
such as the fat beneath the eye can be redistributed to eliminate puffiness
or bulges. In some patients, the underlying muscle will be tightened.
These procedures will leave you looking energized, with a fresh appearance.
Many times a transconjunctival lower lid Blepharoplasty is possible where
the incision is inside the eyelid, therefore leaving no visible scar. These
are outpatient procedures and are often combined with forehead, facelift,
and neck lifting procedures. |
