Am I a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Patients who show signs of “hooded” eyes or fat and skin beneath the eyes that have sunken throughout the aging process can benefit most from a blepharoplasty procedure. In some cases, patients can have their vision affected by sagging skin that hangs over the eyes because of aging. During your consultation with Dr. Azouz, he can discuss your eyelid surgery details and determine whether a brow lift may benefit you most. Patients interested in having an eyelift must have no eye conditions that may affect their results.
Eyelid Surgery Benefits
Benefits of having Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery in Dallas include:
- Enhance eye shape
- Reduce eye puffiness
- Correction of wrinkles in the lower eye and outer corners
- Removal of saggy skin
- Removal of dark spots
- An upper and lower blepharoplasty can give you a well-rested and more youthful appearance
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin, fat, and muscle that fall over the natural fold of the eye, creating a small and hooded appearance. Upper eyelid surgery can improve makeup application or even visual acuity by removing excess skin. This technique requires an incision concealed within the natural crease of the eyelid.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery can correct sagging undereye bags through a surgical incision inside the lower eyelid or hidden in the lash line. This allows for access to bags of fat that can be repositioned or removed, along with loose, wrinkled skin. During lower eyelid surgery, fat transfer techniques can be used to fill in tear troughs or sunken, dark circles.
In some women, lax tissue around the eyes can be the first area to show signs of aging and contributes to a sad, disengaged, or even unhealthy appearance. Lower eyelid surgery is an excellent method to improve the contour and youthfulness of the eyelid by removing sagging, puffiness, and drooping tissue around the eyelid.
Anesthesia for Eyelid Surgery
Anesthetics for eyelid surgery in Dallas are based on the patient’s comfort and desires. Some patients desire a blepharoplasty performed with local anesthesia only, others request light sedation, and some wish for deep sedation. Dr. Azouz can accommodate patient requests by performing eyelid surgery under a variety of anesthesia methods. Dr. Azouz aims for the best experience possible with eyelid surgery.
