In the words of William Shakespeare, “the eyes are the window to your soul.” Your eyes are an aesthetically important facial feature, conveying the nuances of your emotions. If your eyelids droop and sag, it significantly ages your overall facial appearance, leaving you looking tired, unhappy, old, or all three. A blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift procedure can rejuvenate the upper or lower lids, or both. When it comes to your eyes, you deserve an excellent outcome which is guaranteed under the care of Dr. Tseng with a custom blepharoplasty in Kirkland, WA.
"I LOOK YEARS YOUNGER
AFTER MY EYELID SURGERY!"
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Tseng takes great care to place incisions discreetly, leaving no noticeable scarring. They are typically in the natural crease for upper eyelid surgery or along the lash line for lower eyelid surgery. You will not experience any pain during your procedure. After your blepharoplasty Kirkland and Bellevue patients should arrange for another adult in the Auburn area to drive you home, and then spend the rest of the day to rest and recover.
Kirkland blepharoplasty patients can expect about ten days of downtime. Your eyes will be sensitive, and you should wear sunglasses when venturing out. Mild bruising and swelling are to be expected and will continue for a couple of weeks, fading with time. The recovery time is generally easy to experience and not exceptionally painful or uncomfortable. Your refreshed look will continue to improve for several months to a year after surgery.
The benefits of an eyelid lift include:
No matter how well you maintain your skin, sagging and wrinkling around the eyes can age your entire facial appearance. An eyelid lift, also known as a blepharoplasty, can tighten loose tissue and remove excess eyelid skin, creating a firmer, smoother, younger appearance.
You are filled with energy and enthusiasm, but it may not be reflected in your eyes. Fatty deposits, lax skin, and undereye bags can leave you appearing tired all the time. Removal of excess fat and tightening of your eyelid skin can make your eyes appear bright and alert.
In some cases, the upper eyelid begins to droop due to loose skin and fatty deposits. This condition, known as hooding, may be a purely cosmetic concern when mild. However, for many people, it obscures their vision, sometimes significantly. Hooded eye surgery corrects drooping, giving the eyes a more open appearance and restores your range of vision. If your vision is affected by loose skin and tissue, your health insurance may cover some or all of the cost of surgery.
