What is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the eyelids. It addresses issues such as sagging upper eyelids, puffy lower eyelids, and excess skin or fat deposits around the eyes. This procedure can significantly improve your eyes’ aesthetic and functional aspects, giving you a refreshed and youthful look. Dr. McCracken can treat a range of concerns using expert techniques and an eye for aesthetics. Whether you want to reduce signs of aging or create a rejuvenated appearance, there is a type of eyelid surgery for you. It is a highly flexible procedure.

 

Each surgery is fully tailored to help you achieve your unique goals in Denver. When done correctly, your results will blend naturally into the rest of your appearance. You will look younger and fresher, but you will still be you, with fewer wrinkles or sagging skin, more symmetry, and a brighter overall look. Don’t settle for droopy eyelids or an aging look! We can help you find the youthful face you’ve been looking for. It’s time to show the world the real you with an eyelid surgery that will impress you.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Michael McCracken can help eliminate the signs of aging with upper eyelid surgery, also known as upper blepharoplasty. Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, improving the appearance of puffiness and creasing that contributes to a tired and aged facial appearance.

How can upper eyelid surgery help?

Upper eyelid surgery can help minimize the appearance of bagginess and puffiness in the upper eyebrow region, giving you a younger, fresher appearance. An Upper Blepharoplasty can also:
  • Remove loose or sagging skin that creates “hooding” or folds around the eyes
  • Remove excess fatty deposits that cause puffiness
  • Improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the upper eyelids
  • Make your eyes look refreshed and rejuvenated
  • Make your eyes and face look less tired
  • Provide a more youthful appearance
This is often combined with a brow lift or lower eyelid surgery.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

As a natural part of aging, the skin around the lower eyes can become loose, and the fatty deposits can bulge. Time, heredity, and environmental factors can cause the skin and fat of the lower eyelid to become wrinkled and baggy. The fat of the lower eyelid can result in a tired, puffy, and aged appearance.

Revision Eyelid Surgery

Revision eyelid surgery, also known as secondary eyelid surgery or corrective blepharoplasty, addresses issues or complications arising from a prior eyelid surgery. This specialized surgical technique focuses on improving the aesthetics and functionality of the eyelids, ensuring that the patient achieves their desired outcome in Denver.

Reasons for Revision Eyelid Surgery

  1. Initial Dissatisfaction:
    When patients are unsatisfied with their first eyelid surgery results, they may seek revision surgery to achieve their desired look.
  2. Complications:
    Complications such as asymmetry, scarring, or unnatural eyelid appearance can necessitate corrective surgery.
  3. Aging Effects:
    Aging can change the eyelid’s appearance as time passes, making revision surgery a potential solution.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Preparing for Surgery

Before undergoing blepharoplasty, you will thoroughly consult our experienced plastic surgeons. They will assess your specific needs and discuss your desired outcomes. During this consultation, you can ask questions and address any concerns about the procedure.

The Surgery

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids to minimize scarring. Excess skin, muscle, and fat will be carefully removed or repositioned to achieve the desired results.

Recovery

Recovery after blepharoplasty varies from patient to patient, but most individuals can expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes. It is essential to follow post-operative instructions diligently to ensure a smooth recovery. You will notice gradual improvements in the appearance of your eyelids as the healing process unfolds.
