Best San Diego Cosmetic Eyelid Surgeons – Procedures They Perform

Eyelid surgery is performed to restore the vision of a person that is blocked by an excess amount of skin and fat located in the eyelids. Eyelid surgery also works to remove bags that are visibly located under the eyes and rejuvenate the look of puffy upper eyelids.

There are a number of techniques surgeons can use to rejuvenate the look of the eyelids:

• Upper cosmetic eyelid surgery involves the creation of incisions in the natural creases of the upper eyelids. The incisions are made so the surgeon can more easily remove excess skim that is causing the appearance of the eyelids to be droopy and/or blocking the vision of the patient.
• Lower cosmetic eyelid surgery is when the surgeon creates an incision in the area that is located below the lower eyelashes. The doctor will then remove fat deposits in the targeted area to give the eye a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
• Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is the removal of pockets of fat in the eyelids thanks to the creation of tiny incisions in the lower eyelids of the patient. There is no excess skin removed during this procedure.

The lower eyelid of the patient can also gain a more rejuvenated look through the use of hyaluronic acid fillers and popular choices include Juvederm and Restylane. The hyaluronic acid filler is injected underneath the skin of the patient in order to provide a plump look to the area under the eyes as well as smooth out the appearance of any wrinkles. Patients do need to know that results provided by dermal fillers are not permanent and they will need to undergo repeat treatments in order to maintain the younger and rejuvenated look of the eyelids.

Once the doctor is chosen by the patient, it is time to schedule a consultation appointment in order to have the eyelids examined by the doctor. The surgeon will determine if the patient is in good enough health to have cosmetic eyelid surgery and the doctor will also share the type of results/extent of the results that the patient can expect to enjoy after the procedure. It is important for the patient to have realistic expectations so there is a less of a chance of the person being disappointed or surprised by the final results.
