Eyelid Lift in Tennessee
Eyelid Lift
Blepharoplasty
Your eyelids can change drastically as you age. Wrinkles, lines, and excess skin can cloud your expressions and make you look old and fatigued. An eyelid lift is a rejuvenating surgical procedure designed specifically to help your eyes look younger, more energetic, and more expressive. Because your eyes are so important to non-verbal communication, an eyelid lift results in a profound but natural looking transformation of the entire face.
The Benefits of Eyelid Lift
The benefits of eyelid lift, then, tend to be quite exceptional. Those benefits often include:
Look a Lot Younger.
The removal of excess skin from around the eyes makes a huge difference in how old you appear. This transformation is somewhat pronounced because the eyes are such an important focal point.
More Expressive.
Your eyes are usually one of your most expressive features. But excess skin can hide those features and obscure your expressions. After an eyelid lift, you’ll likely be more expressive.
See a Little Better.
In many cases, excess skin around the eyes can begin to droop downwards, obscuring your field of vision. Eyelid lift clears that up, so you’ll see more of the world!
More awareness.
In darker environments, your eyelids will block more light from your eyes, making everything seem dim. After an eyelid lift, you’ll probably notice how much brighter the world looks!
Fewer false assumptions.
Drooping skin and wrinkles around the eyes can make you look sad or tired when you really aren’t. Eyelid lift can help you look as energized and content as you really feel.
Results That Last.
The natural looking transformation from surgical eyelid lift is effectively permanent, so you won’t need to worry about those wrinkles making their way back for years.
Who is Eyelid Lift For?
Eyelid lift is one of the most popular facial plastic surgery procedures in the United States. Over 200,000 patients underwent blepharoplasty in 2018 alone. But that doesn’t necessarily mean eyelid lift is for everyone. After all, everyone’s eyelids are different. Excess tissues or fat behave somewhat differently from person to person. For example, if excess skin from your forehead is pushing tissue downwards, a brow lift may be necessary to help you achieve your desired results. So our board-certified plastic surgeons work with you to determine what surgical approach works best.
In general, however, eyelid lift candidates:● Will notice a significant amount of folds, lines, and wrinkles around the eyes.● May also notice drooping skin around their eyes.● Might need to address issues concerning both the upper and the lower eyelids.● Will usually want to take several days off work for recovery.● Will have realistic expectations.● Have discussed other facial plastic surgery options with our surgeons to ensure an eyelid lift is the proper course of action.
The face is a complex set of features. During your consultation, you’ll discuss what to expect from your eyelid lift, both in terms of results and in terms of post-op care. For us, it’s vital that our patients are fully prepared for every stage of this procedure.
