Are you contemplating an eyelid lift? At first thought, you may find this type of surgery to be intimidating, even unnecessary. However, when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon, you’ll discover the procedure is not only safe, but also beneficial.
Still have doubts? Take a look at how an eyelid lift can make a difference in your life!
First, and perhaps one of the most enticing factors of this surgery, is the fact that it’s generally done on an outpatient basis. In most instances, patients are actually able to tolerate the procedure under local anesthesia (numbing injections) in our clinic with mild oral sedation. Therefore, you are not required to recover in the hospital, but instead, can go home following the procedure.
Next, it’s rather amazing just how relaxed and refreshed an eyelid lift can make you appear. Lifting the lower and upper lids can reduce the number of lines and wrinkles that surround the corners of your eye, instantly refreshing your look.
How about those pesky bags? Are you sick and tired of looking into the mirror, only to find someone you don’t recognize staring back at you? While bags under your eyes can make you look exhausted and sleep deprived, an eyelid lift can successfully remove unwanted bags by eliminating the extra skin and tissue that has formed.
Finally, after surgery you won’t only look better, but you’ll feel better, too. In particular, your vision may even improve, changing (for the better) how you see the world around you!
That’s right: The extra skin and tissue that can form under your eyes isn’t just a cosmetic issue, but also a health one, as these deposits can impair your vision. When you choose to have them removed, however, your line of sight can be expanded.
Ready to get started? Remember, only you can decide whether or not an eyelid lift is for you. If you are unhappy with your appearance, especially the area around your eyes, then it may be time to pursue change. After all, the eyes are commonly one of the first features noticed on an individual. What do you want your eyes to say about you?
Following surgery, you will still look like you, but only the best version of you. As stated above, you will look refreshed and rejuvenated. Better yet, this “touch-up” procedure is relatively pain-free, convenient, and will have you returning to your daily routine in no time.
At the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, our biggest goal is superior patient satisfaction. During your initial consultation, you will have ample opportunity to discuss what you need and want to get out of the eyelid lift. From a boost in self-confidence to enhanced vision, the benefits of this routine procedure are limitless.
