Eyelid Surgery
(Blepharoplasty)
Milwaukee Eyelid Surgery
Tired of looking tired? In Milwaukee, our patients often complain about looking tired or having puffy bags under their eyes. For these patients, eyelid surgery may be the answer. Below is more information on they eye lift procedure, but the best way to get complete answers to specific questions is to have a personal consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY)
Eyelid surgery is performed on men and women of all ages who want to improve their self-image. Most people have eyelid surgery to minimize the effects of aging. However, many people in their 20′s or 30′s may also benefit from the procedure. You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if your upper eyelids have excess skin that hides the natural fold of the lid, loose skin that hangs down from the upper lid, or puffiness that creates a tired look. Perhaps, your lower eyelids have puffy “bags”, excess skin and fine wrinkles. Eyelid surgery needs to be approached with extra caution if you have any of the following medical conditions:
- Thyroid problems, such as hypothyroidism or Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism)
- Lower eyelids that droop significantly and reveal the white beneath the iris (the eye’s colored portion)
- Eye problems, such as “dry eye,” a detached retina or glaucoma
- High blood pressure or other circulatory disorders
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes.
THE EYELID SURGERY CONSULTATION
A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering eyelid surgery. During this meeting, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific goals for surgery.
As part of the consultation, we will assess the amount of excess fat and skin in your eyelid areas, the position of your eyebrows, and the condition of the muscles around your eyelids.
Suggestions may be given for other cosmetic treatments to meet your appearance goals. For example:
A sagging brow can be tightened and smoothed with a forehead lift (limited incision, endoscopic, coronal lift).
Crow’s feet near the eyes can be minimized with laser resurfacing or Botox injections.
Dark circles beneath the eyes that can’t be helped by blepharoplasty can be treated with a bleaching medication or laser treatment.
