Laser Blepharoplasty

Why Blepharoplasty?
As we age our skin loses its firmness and begins to sag. This is especially true around the eyes since the eyelids have the thinnest skin on your body. Exposure to the sun also leads to a loss of elasticity in the skin around the eyes and can cause more sagging or wrinkles. Dr. Clariday’s goal is to revitalize droopy and puffy eyelids so that the appearance of the eyes communicates the energy and vitality that one feels inside.

Why Should I Choose an Ophthalmologist for my Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery?
The eye is so complex in its parts that it has given rise to many specialties within the field of ophthalmology. Cosmetic surgeons who are Ophthalmologists specialize in delicate procedures for treating the skin, muscles, glands, and bones which surround, support, and aid in the proper functioning of the eye. Many people seek the expertise of surgeons with this medical training and experience to improve the cosmetic appearance of the areas surrounding their eyes. These same procedures can also lead to improved vision.

What is Blepharoplasty?
Cosmetic Blepharoplasty tightens the appearance of the skin around the eyes giving the individual a youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty is the second most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgery procedure after liposuction. This is because it is a smaller surgical procedure that does not take a great amount of time and causes little discomfort, yet can provide significant benefit. Blepharoplasty is performed at Clariday Aesthetics to remove excess skin from the upper eyelid area or to remove bulging fat pads from the lower eyelid. It is also frequently performed in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as CO2 laser resurfacing. Although blepharoplasty is not a major operation, it should not be considered a trivial procedure. The eyelid is a very delicate structure and requires gentle and meticulous surgical technique in order to obtain a good result. Every patient experiences at least some swelling for several days and most people return to work within several days to a week. Lower eyelid surgery can sometimes be performed through the inside of the lower eyelid, thus leaving no visible external scar.
