10 Oct What Issues can Lower Eyelid Surgery Address?
Lower eyelid surgery in Medford, also known as lower blepharoplasty, can address a wide variety of aesthetic concerns. Achieving incredible results starts with identifying the leading oculofacial plastic surgeon in your area. Board-certified eye specialist Dr. Schiedler attended the top programs in the country and is the very best person you could have working on your eyes.
Those Pesky Under-Eye Bags
Many patients are interested in lower eyelid surgery because of under-eye bags caused by aging, sun damage, or genetics. Bags under the eyes not only make a person look older than they are, but are a leading cause of dark circles. Under-eye bags cause a shadow that looks like circles on the skin. In many cases, removing the bags also removes the dark circles.
Lower eye areas can also have a crepe-like look with fine lines and wrinkles. Tightening the skin under the eyes by removing excess skin (along with excess fat) immediately makes the eyes look brighter and younger. Patients look happier and less tired when the undereye area is revitalized.
Finally, a hollowing of the eye trough is another common sign of aging. Everyone loses volume in their face with age, and it often starts in the under-eye area. Hollowness is another potential cause of undereye circles because, without adequate volume (fat), this area can look darker than it is. Combining lower blepharoplasty (for tighter skin) with dermal fillers instantly fills in these hollowed areas.
Lower eyelid surgery is always cosmetic, and as such is not covered by insurance. However, there are options for funding this surgery, including Care Credit (a special credit card exclusively for medical and aesthetic procedures). Fortunately, recovery from lower eyelid surgery is relatively fast. Most patients recover in two to three weeks, which means you don’t have to take a lot of time off work for lower blepharoplasty.
