Considerations

Q&A

 

Small incisions are hidden in the upper eyelid crease, allowing for removal of all of the excess skin and the underlying fat pockets that cause the loose skin and puffy effect. This leaves a tighter, cleaner-looking eyelid with hidden scars.

 

Eyelid surgery can also address non-cosmetic issues such as hanging upper-eyelid skin that interferes with vision.

Dr. Elkowitz will create a small incision and the fat pockets causing the bagginess are removed and tightened, reducing the puffy and tired look of the lower eyelid.
Lower eyelid rejuvenation surgery can be performed using either an internal or external incision to address bulging fat pockets, removal of excess skin, and the position and function of the lower eyelid. These different approaches should be discussed with your surgeon as one option may be preferable depending on your lid function, age and other aspects of your anatomy.

The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s needs.

You should take it easy and rest for a few days, to allow swelling and bruising to subside. Eyelid surgery generally has minimal pain and a quick recovery.
