BLEPHAROPLASTY/EYELID REJUVENATION SURGERY-

Dr. Amy Bandy offers upper and lower eyelid surgery for the correction of excess drooping skin or sagging skin of the upper and lower eyes, as well as the lower eyelid “bags” that can contribute to a tired or aged look. The upper eyelids are addressed making an incision in the upper eyelid crease, and removing the excess hanging skin and muscle, as well as removing fat pockets that can contribute to bulges or excess fullness in the upper eyelid. The incision is then closed using a suture that runs along the length of the incision, so that healing is fast and scarring is minimal. The stiches are then removed at the 4th or 5th post operative day. The lower eyelids can be addressed through either a direct incision just below the eyelashes, or a hidden incision inside the eyelid- often called the “scarless blepharoplasty” Dr. Amy Bandy will examine each individual to advise whether the outer or the inner incision will produce the best results. Often in people who have hollowness of the lower eyelids, fillers, including the persons own fat, can be transferred to the eyes to provide a more full and youthful look, sometimes without the need for any surgical cutting.
