Rejuvenate Your Eyes with Eyelid Surgery at Healing Waters

The eyes are such a prominent facial feature, and the rejuvenation must restore to the patient’s desire. Dr. Rieger gently rejuvenates the eye area to provide long-term results using minimally invasive techniques to give a natural look.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical technique that can restore your eyes to their youthful appearance. By removing excess skin and fat, Dr. Rieger can help improve the appearance of droopy eyelids and reduce puffiness around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can also help improve vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs the visual field.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery offers numerous benefits, including a more youthful and refreshed appearance, improved vision, and increased self-confidence. Dr. Rieger’s gentle approach to eyelid rejuvenation means you can achieve these benefits with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Dr. Rieger may recommend eyelid surgery on its own or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift, to achieve full and harmonious facial rejuvenation. During your free consultation with Dr. Rieger, he will listen to your concerns and goals, assess your unique facial anatomy, and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve desired results.

During your consultation with Dr. Rieger, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and learn more about eyelid surgery. Dr. Rieger will listen carefully to your goals and assess your unique facial anatomy to recommend a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and helps you achieve desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

AM I A CANDIDATE?

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.
