Droopy Eyelids and You: Seeing is Believing!

Do your eyes make you look tired and worn out? Even though you feel alive and alert, your eyelids might be saying something different. Droopy eyelids can affect people of all ages, and many people don’t know that a simple surgery can drastically improve their lives. Luckily, Dr. Vincent can help.

When our eyelids become droopy, it can cause both personal and safety problems. Some cases are so severe that people have a hard time driving, reading or doing daily tasks, because they have a hard time seeing.

A simple surgery called blepharoplasty can correct sagging eyelids, remove bags beneath the eyes and remove excess skin from the upper eyelids. This type of surgery can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as Swiftlift, a brow lift or laser skin resurfacing.

Recovery from the surgery can take a few days to approximately two weeks. After the surgery, the area surrounding your eyes will be bruised and swollen. A cold compress and antibiotic eye drops can help speed the recovery process. For women, makeup can be worn, generally after 10 days.

After surgery and recovery, our patients have a softer, more youthful look.
