How do I know if I am a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
The ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are people with puffy eyes or bags under their eyes. These people are tired of looking old, depressed, tired and unhealthy. Other patients notice that their skin begins to sag or droop as they age, and they just want a rejuvenation through eyelid surgery.
Where does the surgeon make the incisions for eyelid surgery?
During your eyelid surgery, small incisions are made along the natural creases of your upper eyelid and below your bottom lashes. Dr. Lefkovits removes excess fat, muscle and skin through these incisions. The incisions are the size of a strand of hair and will not leave visible scars once they are healed.
Are there any risks involved with eyelid surgery?
There is minimal risk involved with eyelid surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, eyelid surgery does involve some unavoidable risks. Double or blurred vision is common, as well as swelling along the corners of the eyes. The most common risk is infection or bleeding. If you choose an experienced cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Lefkovits, these risks can be substantially reduced or eliminated.
