Wrinkled folds of upper eyelid skin and bags under the eyes can make a person look older and tired. When severe enough, the upper eyelid skin may hang over the lashes and obstruct peripheral vision.
Jonathan C. Lowry, M.D. is pleased to offer advanced blepharoplasty surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids. The goal of blepharoplasty is to give the eyes a more youthful look by removing excess skin, bulging fat, and lax muscles from the upper and lower eyelids.
Excessive skin around the eyes can now be treated with the advanced CO2 laser. The remarkable technology of the CO2 laser allows precise surgical control, faster healing, and beautiful results. If desired, laser skin resurfacing can be performed in conjunction to enhance the effect.
Discomfort is generally mild. Non-aspirin pain relievers are usually all that is necessary post-operatively. Aspirin products, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, and other blood thinners should be avoided before and after surgery.
