What Is Blepharoplasty?
Your eyes are among your most beautiful features, so it's a shame when people can't see them due to excess skin around the eyelids. Not only can drooping skin give you a more tired appearance, but it can even obstruct your vision in more severe cases. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we perform eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) for Chicago, IL women and men who want to address sagging eyelids for improved function and a more alert look. Whether you wish to target the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both, blepharoplasty can dramatically transform your appearance. To discover how eyelid surgery can change your aesthetic, schedule a consultation at our plastic surgery practice in Chicago, IL.
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Eyelid surgery is performed in-office at our Chicago, IL office using either general or local anesthesia. This cosmetic procedure may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both eyelids. Depending on your needs, you can combine your upper eyelid surgery with other aesthetic treatments for a more comprehensive transformation.
For upper blepharoplasty, we'll first make an incision along the crease of the eyelid before trimming away fat and other tissues. This approach also allows us to reposition the muscles for a tighter, more refreshed appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty typically involves an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, allowing our providers access to remove fatty tissues while lifting up the skin.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
If you are bothered by the appearance of your eyes or having vision issues related to saggy eyelids, blepharoplasty at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery may provide the answer you're looking for. The benefits of eyelid surgery include:
- Improving looseness and/or drooping skin in the lower and upper eyelids
- Improving bags in bottom lids
- Enhancing the contour and appearance of the eyes
- Producing a more awake, aware look
- Expanding vision by improving line of sight
- Decreasing discomfort by eliminating friction from skin creases
Blepharoplasty Reviews
I can’t say enough, what a great experience I had with Dr. Simon Moradian. His work is outstanding, he is caring, patient and kind. I had an upper blepharoplasty, it was easy, painless and I was back to playing tennis is 9 days (don’t tell him). If you are debating, don’t, it is a good thing. Dr. Moradian is a great doctor to trust and be under his care. Hope you are as fortunate as I was.
If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, and intuitive with the needle then go see Brittany!! She is hands down the best. I took my mom to see her for a consultation with hopes to fix a facial injury, she took the time to really listen and give her honest opinion on what would be best for treatment. After a very thorough consult, they landed on a plan for filler to improve her injury and help her feel like herself again. This treatment literally brought tears to my mom’s eyes and brought her confidence back! So go so Brittany for all of the treatments, you won’t regret it!
