What is an eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
Aging affects the entire body and face, but our eyelids often reveal the first signs of age. Dr. Alan Serure will help reverse these telltale signs of aging and make you look more refreshed and youthful. The goal is not to create an overdone look that will change your expression. Dr. Serure will remove unwanted excess skin and puffiness while maintaining your essence and your look.
Upper eyelid hooding usually combined with lower lid puffiness or bags are removed during an outpatient procedure performed at our state-of-the-art operating facility in Miami. This procedure lasts one and a half to two hours. Eyelid surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty, is often combined with other forms of facial rejuvenation, such as facelift surgery.
Why should patients in Miami consider getting an eyelid surgery?
Removal of the excess skin in the upper and lower eyelid will result in a youthful and refreshed look.
An eyelid surgery in our office in Miami can also help remove puffy or baggy looking eyelids.
Like other cosmetic procedures, patients must be in optimal physical condition to undergo surgery.
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 is the recovery process after eyelid surgery?
Patients should expect swelling and bruising for one or two weeks with some residual remaining for another one or two weeks. Sutures are removed between 10 and 14 days. We will provide instructions about home care, which will consist of elevation and cold compresses. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and refrain from exercise for four weeks. Dr. Serure and our highly skilled staff will guide you through your pre-and postoperative journey.
