Eyelid Surgery: Restoring Youthful Eyes

Aging around the eyes can lead you to search for the best blepharoplasty surgeon in Florida! The redundant skin on the upper lids, the droopiness, and those puffy bags under the eyes can make you look old and tired. Our double board-certified surgeons, Dr. Melyssa Hancock and Dr. Nathan E. Nachlas, expertly perform upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to address these concerns and rejuvenate your appearance.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

At the Nose and Sinus Institute of Boca Raton (NSIBR), our procedure aims to create a refreshed appearance by opening the area around the eyes. During the eyelid procedure, our surgeons will carefully reshape the tissues of the upper or lower eyelids. During the procedure, they may remove skin, muscle, excess tissue, or fat. Blepharoplasty may be performed on the upper eyelid alone, the lower eyelid alone, or both lids together, depending on your unique needs.

  • On the upper eyelid, incisions are typically placed in the natural crease
  • Lower blepharoplasty incisions are along the lash line, in the smile creases, or behind the eyelid
  • Scarring is barely visible post-procedure

Ideal Candidates

If drooping upper lids or bags beneath the eyes are making you feel older than you are, eyelid surgery may be the answer. Expect the following to be assessed and discussed during consultation to determine if this is the best treatment for you.

  • Review of medical history
  • Overall health and lifestyle habits
  • Extent of droopiness or ptosis along the eyelids
  • Your desired results and expectations
  • Willingness to follow pre-, and post-surgery guidelines

Blepharoplasty Recovery

The recovery after surgery is rather quick! Immediately after the procedure, you will likely have swelling and bruising around the eyes. Stitches are generally removed within one week after surgery and many patients return to work around this time. Dr. Hancock and Dr. Nachlas will discuss the post-operative recovery expectations and instructions in more detail at your initial consultation.

Benefits

The procedure aims to create a younger-looking and refreshed appearance by opening the area around the eyes. The procedure offers many benefits, including:

Risks and Side Effects

Before undergoing any surgical procedure, it’s important to understand the potential risks and side effects involved. While eyelid surgery is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks, such as:

  • Asymmetry or irregularities in results

Frequently Asked Questions

The surgery typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete, depending on whether it involves the upper lids, lower lids, or both.

Eyelid surgery is typically performed with local, intravenous, or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure and patients can return home the same day.

While eyelid surgery can provide long-lasting rejuvenation, it does not stop the natural aging process. However, many patients have enjoyed the results for many years.

The cost can vary depending on the surgeon’s expertise, facility fees, anesthesia, and the extent of the procedure needed. We recommend you schedule an appointment with Dr. Hancock or Dr. Nachlas for an accurate estimate based on your unique needs.

Eyelid surgery is an ideal complement to Facelift and Brow Lift surgery. Non-surgical treatments that can enhance the results of your procedure include BOTOX® and dermal fillers.

Dr. Hancock and Dr. Nachlas customize each eyelid surgery with the anti-aging needs of the patient in mind to help a patient achieve a balanced and natural-looking facial appearance. As a result, they may recommend a combination of procedures to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Some of these procedures include:

  • Facelift: Reverses the visible signs of aging in the face such as jowls and sagging or loose skin
  • Neck Lift: Reduces or removes loose or sagging neck skin, excess fat in the lower face or chin, and other visible signs of aging in the neck
  • Brow Lift: Treats drooping brows and deep wrinkles of the forehead, restoring a smoother, more youthful contour to the upper portion of the face
  • Submental Liposuction: Eliminates excess fat causing the appearance of a double chin and improves the contours of the chin and jawline
  • Botox: Smooths fine lines, wrinkles, and furrows caused by excessive muscle movements
  • Dermal Fillers: Enhances the facial appearance without surgery by restoring volume to create a more youthful facial contour
  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Loss Treatment: Stimulates new hair growth and improves the health and strength of existing hair

These procedures may be performed with or without eyelid surgery. Contact our office to find out which procedures will achieve the results you wish for.
