Plastic surgeons use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about the way you look.

Cheek implant surgery usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. When cheek implants are being placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, such as a facelift, forehead lift or eyelid surgery, the implants may be inserted through the incisions made for those procedures. Otherwise, an incision will be made either inside your upper lip or your lower eyelid. A pocket is then formed and an implant is inserted.

After surgery, a dressing will be applied to minimize discomfort and swelling. The severity and duration of such side effects may vary, especially if another cosmetic procedure was performed at the same time.

If you are considering cheek augmentation in Phoenix Arizona contact cosmetic surgeon Robert Marouk. Facial plastic surgery procedures offered at the Cosmetic Surgical Art Center in Phoenix Arizona include facelift surgery, rhinoplasty, neck lift surgery, blepharoplasty, lip augmentation and ear surgery.

Your eyes are the most revealing feature of your face. When engaged in conversation, our eyes are the center of attention. Puffiness, dark circles around the eyes, or droopy upper eyelids give the appearance of fatigue and aging. In some individuals, the excess skin of the upper eyelids can actually obstruct the field of vision, which can be dangerous when driving for instance. A surgical correction can remove the excess fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize bags under the eyes and tighten the lower eyelid skin. The result is a fresh, youthful, and more rested appearance. Eyelid surgery is performed on men and women of all ages who want to improve their self-image. The following concerns are easily addressed with eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty:
* Upper eyelid:
o Excess skin that hides the natural fold of the upper eyelids
o Loose skin that hangs down from the upper eyelids
o Puffiness in the upper eyelids that creates a tired look
* Lower eyelid:
o Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids
o Puffy "bags" and dark circles

In many instances, excess droopy skin of the upper eyelids is due at least partially to a lowered eyebrow. As we age, gravitational pull along with decreased elasticity of the skin leads to a downward fall or ptosis of the eyebrows. Naturally low set eyebrows may be genetic in some, in which case an endoscopic forehead lift or browlift is necessary at an earlier age. In others, an endoscopic forehead lift may be performed simultaneous to blepharoplasty. It is imperative, however, to address the low eyebrows in addition to blepharoplasty in order to avoid excision of excess skin of the upper eyelid. Returning the eyebrow to its aesthetic position decreases the amount of skin necessary for excision in the blepharoplasty.

As people age, effects of gravity to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth, the jaw line grows slack and jowly, folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. One should know that the face lift can’t stop the aging process. It can only “set back the clock”, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, Tightening underlying muscles and re draping the skin of your face and neck. A face lift can also be done along with other procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery or nose reshaping.

Suitable candidate for face lift:
* A man or a woman whose face and neck have began to sag but whose skin still has some elasticity.
* Whose patients bone structure is strong and well defined.
* Most patients are in their forties to sixties. But face lift can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.
* A face lift can make you look younger and fresher may enhance your self confidence in the process. But it can’t give you a totally different look, nor can it restore the healthy and vitality of your youth.

Risks involved:
* When a facelift is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, the complications and risks involved are minor. By following the doctors advise closely you can reduce your risks.
* Hematoma C a collection of blood under the skin that most be removed by the surgeon.
* Injury to the nerves that control facial muscles which are usually temporary.
* Infection and reactions to anesthesia.
* Smokers are usually affected by poor healing.

What is a blepharoplasty?
Over time, during normal aging or even with weight loss, the face will change resulting in excess skin laxity, joweling, wrinkling and even elongation of the facial skeleton itself compelling patients to seek correction. In addition, the skin of the eyelids may also sag resulting even in obstruction of vision. Eyelid surgery aims to restore the eyelid by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. Dr. Kayser is a Michigan Plastic Surgeon who is Board Certified in Plastic surgery. As a perfectionist, Dr. Kayser will take all measures necessary to ensure that your results are the best that he can offer.

How long does a blepharoplasty last?
Although aging will always continue, one can expect long term changes with their eyelid surgery.

In addition, as the face ages, it actually looses volume and current trends in facial rejuvenation include the actual transfer of your own fat to help restore the natural contours of youth. This can also be applied to the periorbital region (the area around the eye) whereby the fat that is normally removed can actually be used to replace the volume lost in the upper cheek. Read Dr. Kayser's article on fat grafting (Lipostructure) or call Dr. Kayser for a complete consultation to answer all your questions.

Can other procedures be combined with a blepharoplasty?
The face can actually be divided into thirds with the upper third including the forehead the middle portion including the eyes and lower third including the cheeks and jowels. These areas can easily be combined with eyelid surgery and actually help to maintain a uniform appearance.

How can I schedule a consultation with Dr. Kayser?
Considering a blepharoplasty is usually a well thought out process and, at Image by Design Plastic Surgery, we strive to ensure that all your questions are fully answered. Indeed, it is Dr. Kayser himself who conducts the entire consultation - a complete and thorough evaluation dedicated to each patient by the plastic surgeon that will be performing the procedure. This may take more time but it is essential so that each patient can make a fully informed decision.

The chemical peel is a widely accepted procedure to eradicate fine wrinkles in the skin. The procedure can be performed alone or at a later date after face lift or eyelid surgery.

Patients with fair complexions are better candidates as the chemical peel can remove pigment from the skin creating a line of demarcation between treated and untreated skin in patients with darker complexions.

The chemical peel creates a raw surface which heals in approximately ten days. Once healed, makeup can be applied. The peeled skin is initially red and rapidly fades to pink. This pink color may last for several months. Care must be taken to protect this skin from sun exposure by using a sun screen for at least six months.

Light chemical peels can be performed in the office. Deeper or full face peels are performed on an outpatient basis in a surgical center.

A forehead lift addresses the area of the upper face. It restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area, making you look less tired, angry, or sad, by correcting drooping brows and improving the horizontal lines on your forehead. It is frequently performed with an upper lid blepharoplasty and can be performed with a face lift to provide facial balance and harmony.

The goal of the procedure is to raise the brow to a more aesthetically appealing position. It will also improve fullness over the outside corner of the lid, a scowling appearance of the eyes and horizontal frown lines of the forehead. It is not intended to create a look of surprise or what is commonly called the "deer in the headlights" look. Botox is not a substitute for a forehead lift, it can give you an idea of what to expect. Dr. Friedlander will show you potential areas of benefit during your consultation.

Several different approaches may be used, such as an endoscopic approach, a lateral brow and transblepharoplasy approach and rarely a coronal approach. Most often, only small incisions are required. The procedure is often performed with face lift and/or blepharoplasty. There may be some postoperative swelling or bruising, which resolves relatively quickly. You are able to return to work in a week if no other surgery is being performed.

The new CO2 pulse lasers are effective for treating fine wrinkles that occur with aging and exposure to the elements. We are using them for blepharoplasty and facial resurfacing either with or without facelift surgery. The laser also treats the vertical wrinkles that occur in the upper lip area. This new method for Laser Skin Resurfacing takes advantage of the abilitt of the laser to penetrate the skin to a precise depth. The consistency and degree of penetration affords an even effect over the entire treated area. The superficial skin is shed and new skin regenerates, providing a fresher, smoother appearance.

After the treatment the skin resembles a deep sunburn for about ten days. The redness fades and turns pink within a few weeks. Makeup can easily camouflage the pink color which disappears in one to three months.

During the healing process, we advise that patients avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

Potential postoperative complications of pigmentary changes of the skin are managed through the preoperative and postoperative use of hydraquinone and retinoid creams. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are other problems for which the laser has application. The laser also removes small blood vessels, birthmarks, and tatoos from the skin.

Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.

If you're considering eyelid surgery, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.

Your New Look
Healing is a gradual process, and your scars may remain slightly pink for six months or more after surgery. Eventually, though, they'll fade to a thin, nearly invisible white line.

On the other hand, the positive results of your eyelid surgery-the more alert and youthful look-will last for years. For many people, these results are permanent.

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.

A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance your self- confidence in the process. But it can't give you a totally different look, nor can it restore the health and vitality of your youth.

All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
When a facelift is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.

Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers.

You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's advice both before and after surgery.

The Surgery
A facelift usually takes several hours-or somewhat longer if you're having more than one procedure done.

Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of the ear (or just inside the cartilage at the front of the ear), and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp.

The skin is separated from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be removed from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. Dr. Marouk then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions; metal clips may be used on the scalp.

Following surgery, a small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect there. The surgeon may also wrap your head loosely in bandages to minimize bruising and swelling.

If you are considering a facelift in Phoenix Arizona contact cosmetic surgeon Robert Marouk. Facial plastic surgery procedures offered at the Cosmetic Surgical Art Center in Phoenix Arizona include facelift surgery, rhinoplasty, neck lift surgery, blepharoplasty, lip augmentation and ear surgery.

Miami's facelift expert, Dr. Sam Gershenbaum, brings state-of-the-art techniques and experience to every facial surgery procedure at our Miami, Florida center, including facelift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, ear reshaping, and more.

A facelift can improve the most visible signs of aging by sculpting and tightening the deeper structures and foundation of the face and neck. As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, smoking, heredity, and the daily stresses of life begin to reveal themselves in our faces. Facelift surgery can bring youth back to a patient's face. In youth, the face is firm and smooth due to good skin elasticity and proper positioning of normal facial fat. As we age, skin elasticity and muscle tone weaken, and facial fat descends, causing prominent skin folds, deep creases between the nose and corner of the mouth. Jowls become prominent along with fat deposits and loose skin in the neck.

A facelift won’t stop this process, but it can "turn back the hands of time." A facelift (technically referred to as Rhytidectomy) is designed to reduce much of the looseness and many of the heavy wrinkles and folds in the face and neck. It will also improve the contour of the jaw and necklines. A facelift will not, however, completely remove every fold, line, and wrinkle. There is limited improvement around the eyes and with fine lines of the facial skin. A facelift alone will not improve "smoker’s" lines around the mouth, acne scars, or a poor complexion. Other options exist to treat these problems, including laser treatment, dermabrasion, and chemical peels.

At our Miami, Florida center, many facelift procedures are combined with a forehead and brow lift, upper and/or lower eyelid surgery, and "cheekbone" (malar) augmentation. Frequently, chin implants are placed to improve the profile proportions of the jaw line and increase the projection of the chin. These additional procedures may be performed at the same time and in combination with facelift and neck lift surgery or as independent procedures at a later date.

Dr. Lent believes that in Los Angeles, blepharoplasty patients well informed in surgical procedures receive the best results. At his practice in Los Angeles, blepharoplasty patients will discuss their expectations in the initial surgical consultation. In this first meeting, all relevant questions and concerns should be addressed, and both pre and post operative procedures should be covered in detail.

Treatment of upper and lower eyelid problems require different surgical approaches for Dr. Lent’s patients in Los Angeles. Blepharoplasty patients with problems of the upper lids are generally one of loose, stretched or excess skin and muscle. This extra skin can hang down onto and below the eyelids, causing an aged look and blocking a section of the vision fields. Lower eyelid problems are usually associated with too much fat behind the eyelid, pushing outward. This creates a mound under the eye which causes a shadow or dark circle beneath the fat pad. These shadows and circles are what drive many to seek treatment in Los Angeles. Blepharoplasty clients often look tired before surgery.

For men and women in Los Angeles, blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Treatment of the upper lids is directed at removing excess skin and muscle, in addition to extra fat. Lower eyelid treatment is most commonly focused on the fat pad that causes the shadowing and dark circles. The safest way to treat the lower lids is with a method called the “transconjunctival approach,” which accesses the problem from behind the lid. This innovative technique causes less scarring than the traditional method used.

Minor complications commonly following eyelid surgery include, double or blurred vision, or tightness in the eyes. Swelling and bruising can be kept to a minimum by cold compresses. Adhering to the physician’s advice will reduce the risk of complications for most Los Angeles bleparoplasty patients.

Breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in our practice. Breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona is designed to create beautiful breasts, a true breast enhancement. Breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona is performed using saline breast implants or silicone breast implants. A "true" breast enhancement entails more than just a breast enlargement. When performing breast augmentation, we make a conscious effort to establish the most beautiful breast shape possible.

Many women choose to have breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona for various reasons; the most common are listed below:
* Women who wish to have fuller breasts because their breasts are too small.
* Women who wish to correct a loss of breast volume after pregnancy.
* Women who wish to have perkier breasts and a better shape after pregnancy.
* Women who wish to correct asymmetry of the breasts.
* Women who wish to replace a previously placed breast implant.

Our Philosophy
To be successful with breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona you must fulfill, as best as possible, the patient’s desires and wishes. In order to accomplish this, we have a liberal philosophy with regards to using different breast implant sizes and breast implant shapes. We also have made silicone breast implants available at our offices, for patients that qualify for certain breast implant studies. Depending on the patient’s desires, we have in our office, high profile breast implants, moderate profile breast implants, low profile breast implants, anatomic breast implants, textured breast implants, and breast implants starting at a size of 120 cc and up to 880 cc.

Another component of our philosophy for breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona includes a belief that a breast enlargement should be proportional to the rest of the body. Patients should know that proportional breast enlargement usually gives the best long-term results and happiest patients. Breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona can be performed anytime during a woman’s lifetime. Women with children often undergo breast augmentation Phoenix Arizona through our office. There is no need to wait until after pregnancy to have breast enlargement. Breast implants support the breast better and, in general, in future pregnancy patients experience less sagging.

Many patients choose to have other plastic surgery procedures during a breast augmentation. Tummy tuck and liposuction are the most popular additional plastic surgery procedures. The breasts can also be lifted at the same time as a breast augmentation. Rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid and other plastic surgery procedures can also be performed along with a breast enhancement procedure.

Considering body contouing in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles? Patients who have had Bariatric surgery can truly feel proud of their accomplishments. About 6 to 12 months after undergoing a Gastric Bypass or the Lap Band procedure they can look at themselves with pride as their efforts have paid off with better health and appearance. Often however, at this stage patients complain about changes to their bodies associated with the dramatic weight loss, particularly in the abdominal area, breasts, thighs, arms and face. Not to worry, as each of these areas can be corrected with specialized plastic surgery designed to restore your self confidence and body image. Dr. Lent has, what has been estimated to be, one of the countries most extensive experience with patients who have undergone Bariatric surgery and need subsequent restorative surgery.

The most common area of complaint is the lower abdomen where excess skin commonly builds up leading to chronic rashes, foul odor and hygiene problems. Often this problem is accompanied by a hernia, a hole in the muscle, in the area of the incision. Both of these problems can be solved with a reconstructive procedure, commonly called an Abdominoplasty, which removes the offending redundant skin and repairs the hernia at the same time. Often this procedure is covered by health insurance.

The next most common area of concern for patients following Bariatric surgery is the breasts. Patients may complain of changes that leave them with a loss of size or shape for which Breast Augmentation or a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) might be the answer. Patients often complain of still being too large leading to back, neck and shoulder pain for which a Breast Reduction would be the best solution and may be covered by your health insurance.

Other areas where excess skin is a concern, such as the upper arms and thighs, can be treated with an Arm Reduction (Brachioplasty) or a Thigh Lift. Even the face can be affected for which a Facelift, Eyelid procedure (Blepharoplasty) or Laser Resurfacing just might do the trick.

Don’t despair, for no matter what area of the body you are seeking to correct after the weight loss from Bariatric surgery, Dr. Lent has the extensive experience to correct the problem. “My goal is for my patients to be able to look in the mirror and feel the confidence associated with a new, improved body image.”

A Rhinoplasty or nose job is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. It can effectively change the size of your nose, reshape the nose, resize the nostrils, or make other adjustments to match your nose to the shape of your face.

The rhinoplasty in Newport Beach can be performed through slightly different procedures. In each of the procedures, the nose and cartilage are reshaped to create the desired shape. Dr. Ackerman in Newport Beach accomplishes such effects by either removing the skin from the nose to reshape it or through an incision made through the nostrils.

A facelift is a surgical procedure used to improve those visible signs of aging on the face and neck, primarily due to sagging. As individuals age, the skin and muscles of the face begin to lose tone and begin to sag. The facelift cannot stop the process of aging. It can improve the most visible signs of aging by tightening and lifting the deeper structures, re-draping the skin of the face and neck, and removing selected areas of fat. A facelift can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, such as a browlift, liposuction, eyelid surgery, or nasal surgery.

Facial Rejuvenation
A facelift cannot correct conditions such as sagging eyebrows, excess skin and fatty deposits in the upper and lower eyelids, or wrinkles around the mouth. Remember, if wrinkles are the problem…a resurfacing procedure will likely be required… In some cases, resurfacing can be accomplished along with a facelift or at a later time. At your consultation, we will be happy to counsel you as to which procedures may be required to complete your total rejuvenation.

Any one or combinations of the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for facelift surgery:
* A deep line, or fold, running from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth.
* Jowls, or loss of a well-defined jawline associated with youthfulness.
* Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging of the skin in the areas of the cheekbones.
* Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical cords or excess fatty tissue in the neck.

In our practice, facelift surgery is individualized for each patient. The best candidates for facelift surgery have a face and neck line that has begun to sag, but whose skin has elasticity and whose bony structure is well defined. A facelift begins with carefully placed incisions. In general, incisions are made just inside the hairline at the temple and extend along the natural curve of the ear, back behind the ear and horizontally into the posterior hairline. Another incision is placed beneath the chin to allow the removal of the vertical bands in the neck and to recreate a natural and smooth contour in this area. These well-placed incisions are made in natural creases and become largely invisible after they heal. Facelift incisions allow us to visualize the underlying facial structures and fat before sculpting the face by repositioning muscle, skin and fat to a more youthful location. A facelift surgery can reshape your face and return structures to where they were found in youth.

Patients seeking breast augmentation in California may do so for a variety of reasons. A woman may desire larger breasts to enhance her body contour or if she feels her current breast size is too small. Breast augmentation may also be performed in order to make corrections after pregnancy or to balance the size of the breasts. Correcting these can also help to strengthen self-confidence, leading patients to seek their own breast augmentation in California.

Breast Augmentation uses breast implants which are either filled with a saline solution or silicone gel. Saline implants are most commonly used as the use of silicone implants has been restricted. This is because the rupture of a silicone implant may release the silicone material into the body's tissues which is a significant health concern. If saline implants rupture, the saline solution is harmlessly reabsorbed into the body and the implant can be replaced. Please contact Dr. Berger to learn more about getting breast augmentation in California.

Breast augmentation is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon in California. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. Once your goals have been determined you will set a date for this procedure in California and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your breast augmentation has arrived, your surgeon may select from a variety of methods for inserting the implants. Implants can be inserted through several locations including the line where the breast and body meet, the areola (dark area surrounding the nipple), the armpit, and even the naval. The patient should discuss with the physician and determine which location is best to minimize the visibility of any scarring that may occur.

After the procedure, patients often experience soreness for a few days but are back into their normal lives within a day or two. Pain following the surgery can be minimized by medications prescribed by your doctor. All procedures are performed with anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain. Please visit our home page to learn more about Breast Augmentation in California.

It is important to follow any instructions your physician may have following your breast augmentation in California. Patients should be aware that soreness will be present after the operation and that physical activity following the operation should be avoided for a period of time. Scarring from the operation does occur but will fade away gradually, although scars may never disappear completely.

In some patients, the problem is exacerbated by drooping of the brow skin. In such cases, a brow lift is the procedure of choice. We are now performing eyelid surgery with the CO2 laser. The incision for the lower lids is made on the inside of the eyelid leaving no visible scar. The skin is then refreshed with the laser to diminish the fine wrinkles.

This procedure is commonly performed in conjunction with a facelift operation. However, younger patients choose to improve their eyelids prior to the need for other facial surgery.

Baggy eyelids are not necessarily a sign of aging. Due to heredity, many younger patients have puffiness under their eyes or a heavy fold of skin which obscures the normal crease of the upper lid. The lower lid “bags” are caused by fat that protrudes from under the eyelid skin. Redundancy of the skin may be more severe in the upper lids, thereby obscuring the natural crease. Sometimes this skin can interfere with vision. To remove this excess skin can accomplish two goals: improvement of vision and enhancement of appearance.

Cosmetic eyelid surgery or Pasadena Blepharoplasty, is a procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. Blepharoplasty corrects the effects of aging and heredity which cause the appearance of bags or puffiness under the eyes, excess sagging skin, droopiness of the lower eyelids and fine wrinkles on the lower lids. The surgery results in a more youthful and energetic appearance.

A facelift, neck lift, browlift or skin resurfacing technique may also be performed at the same time as eyelid surgery.

Procedure
The procedure in done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or sedation and local anesthesia and lasts from 1½ to 2 hours for either upper or lower lids and 2 to 3 hours for both.

Droopiness of the upper eyelids is corrected through an incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, through which fat deposits are repositioned, the muscles are tightened and if necessary, excess skin is removed.

Conditions of the lower eyelid may be corrected through an incision hidden inside the lower eyelid. Through this incision, fat is redistributed and/or removed. An incision underneath the lower lash line can be used to remove excess skin if necessary, and/or to tighten the lower lid.

The incision lines from both upper and lower lid surgery are well concealed within the natural structures of the eye and are often unnoticeable. A mid-facelift may be performed through the same incisions as eyelid surgery.

Recovery
Initial healing may include some swelling, bruising, or dry eye.. Healing of incisions takes 5 to 10 days at which time sutures will be removed and the patient can return to work. However, it may take several weeks for swelling and bruising to disappear, which can be camouflaged with makeup.

Results
The surgery removes excess skin, eliminates bags and restores firmness to the area surrounding the eyes, resulting in a more rested, alert and youthful appearance.

Risks
Risks associated with eyelid surgery include poor healing or infection of the incisions, temporary blurred vision and dry eye. Carefully following your surgeon’s instructions before and after the surgery can help minimize these risks.
