Symptoms & Reasons to Visit
How We Diagnose
We evaluate eyelid structure, muscle function, tear duct patency through irrigation checks, and complete field of vision testing to assess if droopy lids qualify for functional insurance coverage.
Treatment Options
- Blepharoplasty: Surgical repair to remove excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids
- Ptosis Correction: Precise tightening of the levator muscle to lift droopy eyelids
- Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR): Surgical creation of a new tear drainage path to resolve tearing
- Eyelid reconstruction and removal of benign or malignant skin lesions
What to Expect During Your Visit
Most oculoplastic procedures are done comfortably under local anesthesia with light sedation in our sterile outpatient theater. Swelling and mild bruising are normal post-op and resolve naturally within 1 to 2 weeks, leaving minimal, hidden scars.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is blepharoplasty purely a cosmetic procedure?
No. While it has outstanding aesthetic benefits, many patients undergo blepharoplasty functionally because excess drooping skin blocks their superior field of vision, causing fatigue and making daily tasks like driving difficult.
How long does it take for eyelid surgery scars to fade?
Eyelid skin is thin and heals remarkably well. Incisions are hidden within the natural creases of the eyelid. Scars are typically flat and virtually invisible within a few months.
