Testimonial

WE FEEL THE LOVE

“I love what Dr. Rieger did to restore a youthful look to my face, I had a full facelift and upper eyelid surgery, and I am so happy with my results. My friends tell me I look rested and natural. I look like myself but a younger version”.
– J. Rose
Facelift & Eyelid surgery patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Blepharoplasty is highly effective for the treatment of conditions such as:

  • Bags under the eyes that create a puffy, tired look
  • Wrinkling, loose skin around the lower lid
  • Excess fat on the upper lid (fat pads)
  • Drooping skin hanging down from the upper eyelid
  • Obstructed vision from eyelid encroachment
  • Hooded eyelids from sagging skin folds in the upper eyelid

Ideal candidates are men and women who are in good general health, non-smoking, fit for surgery, and free of complicating health conditions. Individuals with conditions such as thyroid problems, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or dry eyes may be advised to avoid blepharoplasty procedures. You must consult your surgeon and ophthalmologist if you have glaucoma or a detached retina.

After surgery, you may experience some swelling, tightness, or bruising. Your eyes may feel sore, though the pain is typically mild and can be controlled with pain medication. Cold compresses, eye drops, or ointment may be used, and you may have extra tearing, light sensitivity, or temporary vision changes. It is typically recommended to sleep with your head elevated for several days to help alleviate your symptoms.

Recovery time can vary with the extent of the eyelid surgery, though it is generally up to two weeks. During this time, it is recommended that you wear sunglasses to minimize exposure to UV light and sources of irritation. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks.

Some potential complications associated with blepharoplasty include blurred or double vision (usually temporary), bleeding, asymmetrical or unwanted scarring, infection, dry eyes, excessive tearing, hematoma, and difficulty closing the upper eyelid.

With eyelid surgery, incisions follow natural eyelid creases, and the scars are minimal and well concealed. Scars may be reddish initially and remain pink for some time, though they should fade within a few months, blending in very nicely.

Blepharoplasty does remove sagging skin, creating a smoother appearance of the eyelid. Still, it does not entirely remove the wrinkling at the corners of the eyes, also known as “crow’s feet.” To treat crow’s feet, consider one of our other aesthetic treatments, such as laser peels or Botox.

After eyelid surgery, most patients appear happier, rested, and revitalized and are thrilled with their results. However, it is good to remember that this procedure is designed to smooth, restore and improve your look rather than change it.

Patients can usually return to work within a week to ten days, but strenuous activity must be avoided for a more extended period.

Unfortunately, you cannot wear contact lenses immediately after surgery. The time your surgeon recommends that you wait will depend upon the extent and nature of the procedure and your progress post-operatively. Glasses can usually be worn immediately following surgery.
