Dr. Cohn and his team can help you make an informed decision on which one, or if both, upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures are right for you.
Eyelid Lift Techniques
An upper eyelid blepharoplasty is done with an incision made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. This means the incision is well-hidden, and even if there is visible scarring, it will not be easily noticeable. This procedure can be used to remove or redistribute fat deposits, tighten the skin, and remove excess skin. Dr. Cohn can even tighten the muscle, if necessary, to prevent further drooping of the upper eyelid.
This is a lower blepharoplasty performed through an incision just below the lower eyelash line. During a lower lash procedure, excess skin is removed from the lower lid, which addresses any sagging under the eyes. Fat deposits that cause puffiness can be removed or even redistributed to even out volume under the eyes.
This procedure is called a transconjunctival eyelid lift, meaning that the incision is hidden inside the lower eyelid. In this procedure, fat deposits can be redistributed or removed to address puffiness. However, this procedure is not meant to address imperfections with sagging skin or wrinkling, as no skin is removed with this technique.
Concerns
You should come prepared to discuss these reasons as well as your medical history. This history includes information regarding major health concerns or procedures that you’ve had, medications you’re taking currently, any drug allergies you know about, use of vices such as drugs or alcohol, and any family history of disease that may impact a successful surgical outcome.
During your physical evaluation, Dr. Cohn will measure your eyelids and take photographs of the treatment sites for your medical records. He will provide you with information regarding surgical options (including choice of anesthesia). At this time, he will determine the best course of treatment and give you the opportunity to ask any questions or address any concerns you may have.
Swelling and bruising are likely to occur for a few weeks following surgery. This is typical but should not cause extreme discomfort. Rest a minimum of 48 hours after surgery. After the first two days of rest you may slowly return to light daily activities. Strenuous activities including exercise should be avoided until approved by Dr. Cohn. If you have any questions, please call our office at 205-930-1600.
Incisions for blepharoplasty are intended to be hidden. If scarring occurs it will, most likely, remain hidden within the eyelid. Even under optimal circumstances there are no guarantees.
Experiencing some discomfort, swelling and bruising is normal. Dr. Cohn will provide you information regarding pain management. If you are experiencing symptoms or pain at a concerning level contact our office immediately at 205-930-1600.
All options and costs will be presented to you during your initial consultation. Dr. Cohn also offers his clients two financing programs, CareCredit and Prosper, to help you achieve the best version of yourself.
