Eyelid surgery in CT provides both cosmetic and functional corrections, opening up the eye in more ways than one. The surgery is also known as blepharoplasty, and is typically done as outpatient surgery. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that’s done quickly, but can radically change the appearance of the individual For those who are seeking a functional fix, it is a convenient surgery that fixes an irritating problem.
Gravity affects every last part of the body, and that includes the eyelids. For some, the eyelids droop to a point where the skin folds make it harder to keep the eyes open. This has a dimming effect on the vision because the eyelids are creating a shadow, and won’t allow the inner eyelid to open all the way. People with this problem find it difficult to drive, read books or watch TV because of the drooping skin. Having eyelid surgery in CT on the upper eyelids quickly corrects the problem by removing the excess skin. Removing and tightening the remaining skin means no more pressure on the inner eyelid, and the shadow is gone for good.
Some individuals have a naturally heavy eyelid and don’t care for the way it looks. Blepharoplasty opens up the eyelid area by removing the excess skin and drawing it tight. Less skin also means less blood vessels to create a dark effect on the eyelid. The result is a much brighter eye area with an appearance that looks more welcoming and pleasant.
The surgery itself is usually done under local anesthetic and in the surgeon’s office. The surgeon makes an incision either directly below the lash line or on the inside of the eyelid, depending on which is the best option. The incisions give access to the fat that is stored in the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove it along with excess skin. Once the removal is completed to the surgeon’s satisfaction, the incisions are closed and the work is completed. It doesn’t take long to recover from the surgery, and once the swelling has subsided, the patient has a whole new look.
