Eyelid Lift - Illinois - Brow Lift with Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. Russo.
Eyelid lift (or blepharoplasty) is the preferred treatment for removing bags under the eyes or drooping eyelids, conditions that can give you a tired or haggard look, make you look older than your years, and even impair your vision.
Eyelid surgery is frequently performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation (twilight sleep) as an outpatient. Dr. Russo will make tiny incisions along the natural lines of your eyelids, through which excess fat, skin and muscle are removed. The incisions are closed with fine sutures, which will leave scars that are practically invisible. Lower eyelid surgery is frequently performed using an internal incision which results in no unsightly scars.
Most patients are back to their normal routines within days, although complete recovery may take a few weeks. Swelling, and bruising and some discomfort are part of the recovery process, and usually can be alleviated with cold compresses and appropriate medication.
