Can eyelid surgery improve my vision?
Eyelid surgery, specifically blepharoplasty, can improve vision if the patient is experiencing obstruction caused by drooping eyelids, medically referred to as ptosis. Removing excess skin and fat can enhance peripheral vision, facilitating clearer sight.
Will eyelid surgery make me look younger?
Yes, eyelid surgery often results in a more youthful appearance. Addressing concerns such as droopy eyelids and under-eye bags can rejuvenate the eyes and enhance facial harmony, contributing to a younger look.
Will I have visible scars after my eyelid surgery?
The incisions made during blepharoplasty are strategically placed within the eyelids' natural creases, resulting in minimally visible scars. With time, these scars tend to fade and become increasingly inconspicuous.
What is the typical age of blepharoplasty patients?
There is no specific "right" age for blepharoplasty; rather, it depends on individual needs and the condition of the eyelids. Generally, patients aged 30 and older seek this surgery to address aging-related changes.
What is the cost of eyelid surgery?
The cost of eyelid surgery varies depending on factors such as the type of procedure (upper, lower, or combined), its complexity, and the techniques utilized. Additional expenses may include pre-operative tests, anesthesia, and postoperative care. Dr. Panossian provides a detailed breakdown of costs during consultations, ensuring transparency and helping you decide about your investment in rejuvenating your appearance.
What are the risks of eyelid surgery?
Complications from eyelid surgery are rare when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Panossian, who specializes in facial plastic surgery. Minor risks may include temporary double or blurred vision and the formation of small pimples or whiteheads along the incision site, which can be easily addressed during follow-up appointments. Difficulty closing the eyes or persistent pulling down of the lower eyelids (ectropion) are extremely rare but may require supportive taping or additional treatment. Strict adherence to pre- and postoperative instructions is essential to minimize these risks. Dr. Panossian and his staff are readily available to address concerns or provide clarification regarding these instructions.
Are eyelid surgery results permanent?
While eyelid surgery doesn't halt aging, its results can last for many years, providing long-lasting rejuvenation. However, the duration of these results may vary depending on individual factors.
What procedures can be performed alongside eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can often be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for a comprehensive enhancement. Common complementary procedures include facelifts, brow lifts, and neck lifts to achieve total facial rejuvenation and harmony.
