Eyelid Surgery, is it right for you?

Your initial evaluation is covered by your insurance. This will determine if you qualify for your insurance to also cover your surgery. Most insurances will cover eyelid surgeries.

Am I A Good Candidate For Eyelid Surgery?

Any one or combination of the following conditions may indicate that you may be considered a good candidate for eyelid surgery:

  • Excess skin obscuring the natural fold of the upper eyelids
  • Loose skin hanging down from the upper eyelids, perhaps impairing vision
  • A puffy appearance to the upper eyelids, making the eyes look tired
  • Excess skin and fine, “crepe paper type” wrinkles of the lower eyelids
  • Bags and dark circles under the eyes
  • Lower eyelid droopiness

Aesthetic eyelid surgery can usually correct these problems, though other treatments may also need to be considered. Some examples follow. Smoothing of crow's feet may be accomplished with Botox chemical peeling or laser resurfacing procedures. Circles beneath the eyes caused by dark pigmentation may be treated with fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid or fat as well as bleaching solution or chemical peel. Dr. Kansal and his staff at SkinRenewKs can provide further information if you have an interest in any of these additional procedures.

Results of Your Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery has the effect of making you look more rested, refreshed and alert. Since the healing process is gradual, you should expect to wait at least several weeks to get an accurate picture of the results of your eyelid surgery. Incisions will fade over a number of months usually becoming barely visible.

The results of aesthetic eyelid surgery are usually long-lasting, but they may be affected by heredity and lifestyle factors.

Removal of fat from your eyelids, which is usually the cause of puffiness and bags, is permanent, and these conditions generally will not recur. The skin continues to age, however, and skin laxity along with the fine wrinkling of the eyelid area may, at some point, return. Sometimes loss of tone in the forehead causes additional sagging of the eyebrows which mimics a recurrence of drooping upper eyelids. If this happens a secondary eyelid procedure may be performed.

Even though the aging process continues, patients are usually happy with their appearance for many years following eyelid surgery. Some patients find that they want to make additional improvements at a later time.

How Aesthetic Eyelid Surgery is Performed

One of several surgical techniques may be suggested to improve the appearance of your eyelids. The particular technique that Dr. Kansal recommends will depend on many factors such as the amount of excess fat and skin in the eyelid areas, the position of your eyebrows, and the condition of muscles around your eyelids.

Because of individual factors, not everyone will achieve the same results from eyelid surgery. Dr. Kansal will select the surgical technique that he feels will obtain the best outcome for you.

Surgery for Upper Eyelids

For upper eyelid surgery, generally an incision is hidden within the natural fold of the upper eyelid and extends slightly beyond the outside corner into the laugh lines or other existing creases. Through this incision, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. Because the incision follows the natural contour of the upper eyelid, it usually is inconspicuous.

Surgery for Lower Eyelids

  1. eyelid surgery

For lower eyelid surgery, often an incision is hidden just below the lower lashes. Through this incision, excess skin, muscle and fat are removed, or fat may be redistributed to eliminate puffiness or bulges. Other adjustments to correct special problems such as muscle laxity may be performed. As in upper eyelid surgery, placement of the incision in natural crease lines allows for the scar to usually heal in an inconspicuous fashion.

In some cases, you and your surgeon may decide that the best approach for removing excess fat is through an incision placed inside the lower eyelid. This technique requires no external incision, but it cannot be used to remove excess skin. A laser may sometimes be used in conjunction with this method to tighten the lower eyelid skin.
