What is an EyeLift aka Eyelid Lift Surgery?

Eyelid Surgery, also called an EyeLift is performed to brighten your eyes and give your face a naturally healthy, well-rested, and revitalized appearance.

As we age, the skin around our eyelids stretches and loses its ability to withstand the pull of gravity. Our facial muscles weaken, and tissues around our eyes begin to sag. This creates puffy bags, heavy folds, and in some cases, noticeable pockets of fat around the eyes that make us look tired, angry, or unhappy. A lot less vital than we’d like to appear.

Aesthetic eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries available to individuals seeking to improve their appearance. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids in order to achieve a more alert, well-rested, and youthful appearance.

One of the primary benefits of aesthetic eyelid surgery is improved vision. When the upper eyelids droop, they can interfere with a patient’s natural line of sight, making it difficult to see clearly. Aesthetic eyelid surgery can also help to improve the appearance of the eyes. Drooping eyelids can make a person look tired and aged, particularly if they have excess skin or fat that makes the eyes look puffy or swollen.

Blepharoplasty can help to remove this excess skin and fat, giving the eyes a more alert, youthful, and attractive appearance. This can help to improve the patient’s overall facial appearance.

Eyelid surgery is an effective and safe procedure that provides many benefits to those seeking to improve their appearance and vision.

Two Types Of EyeLift Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery

Incisions are strategically placed on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and fatty tissue. Incisions are hidden in the natural contour of your upper eyelid. They will continue to fade and smooth out as you heal over time.

Lower eyelid surgery

This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat. Incisions can be made just under the lower lash line or inside the lower lid.

Together, you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will review all of your options in detail to determine which type of Eyelid Surgery is best for you.

Choosing Your Surgeon

When considering a surgeon, it’s important to research all of your options and choose a Surgical specialist who is Board Certified in both Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform many different types of surgeries, you should select a surgeon who focuses strictly on a specific procedure and is recognized for excellence in this procedure.

What are the benefits if your surgeon has a reconstructive surgery background? Most of the world’s best aesthetic surgeons began with reconstructive practices. In fact, almost all of the groundbreaking techniques in aesthetic surgery have reconstructive origins.

Reconstructive surgery cases are typically more complex and often require highly specialized surgical techniques. Comfort, confidence, and predictability with advanced reconstructive surgery techniques have become powerful tools often adapted to aesthetic procedures.

All of the Plastic Surgeons at The First Glance are Board Certified Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons. Many of our surgeons are also Double Board Certified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery from Eyelid Surgery will be different for each patient depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s health.

After your Eyelid Surgery, you may be asked to rest for the first week. Keep your head elevated for the first few days, and you may need to apply cold compresses or eye drops to relieve any discomfort. You may be instructed not to participate in strenuous activities for 2 to 3 weeks.

You will return to The First Glance for a postoperative visit almost immediately and then periodically to monitor your progress.

Every Eyelid Surgery is a customized procedure, so the cost can vary significantly. In general, the cost of Eyelid Surgery starts at $4,000+. The exact cost of surgery is determined at the time of consultation, according to your existing facial anatomy, desired aesthetic results, and unique surgical needs. Eyelid Surgery that involves correction of both upper and lower Eyelids involves a higher cost due to the additional surgical time required.

The surgeon you decide to work with is the #1 determining factor on the results you’re going to achieve. Plastic Surgeons price their procedures according to the quality care and surgical skills they bring to their patients. Seeking a surgeon based on price often leads to undesirable results, and the problems that come along with it are often complex (and costly) to fix. Ask anyone who has undergone revision surgery; it’s a lot less expensive to get it done right the first time.
