TORONTO EYELID SURGERY
OVERVIEWEyelid surgery, more properly known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure
in which fat and excess skin is removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids.
Drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes can make you look tired
and older than you may be. These can be corrected with eyelid surgery.
Eyelid surgery may be done in conjunction with a face lift or forehead
lift to create a more uniform look to the face. Anyone with droopy or baggy eyelids is a good candidate for eyelid surgery in Toronto. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Eyelid surgery incisions will be made in the creases of the upper lids,
and below the lashes in the lower lids. The incisions will extend no further
than the outer corners of your eyes. Once the incision is made the skin
will be separated from fat and muscle below. Sagging skin and muscle will
then be removed along with excess fatty tissue. Finally, very fine sutures
are used to close the incisions.
FOLLOWING EYELID SURGERY
Immediately after the surgery your eyes will be lubricated and medication
will be prescribed to control any temporary pain or discomfort. Full recovery
from eyelid surgery may take two to four weeks. In most cases you will
be able to resume normal activities within a week to ten days. Eyelid
surgery scarring is minimal and will fade away almost completely with
time.
