What is an eyelid surgery like in Miami with Dr. Serure?
Dr. Alan Serure performs a comprehensive consultation to determine if a patient will benefit from eyelid surgery. We will review your medical history and discuss any underlying medical conditions or eye problems. Photographs will be taken and anesthesia will be discussed, either general or intravenous sedation administered by a board-certified MD anesthesiologist. Surgery for both the upper eyelids may be accomplished under local anesthesia alone.
A crescent shaped skin removal of the upper eyelid is performed through an incision hidden in a natural crease. The lower lids are addressed to an incision just beneath the lashes or sometimes through hidden incision in the conjunctiva. The trans conjunctival incision is often combined with laser resurfacing of the lower lids to help with lid skin wrinkles.
What happens during recovery?
Following surgery, patients should remain on a liquid or soft diet for three days. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports for four to six weeks following surgery and may resume normal activities within one week. Patients can usually return to work within seven days or less.
