EYELID SURGERY CAN FRESHEN YOUR LOOK & TAKE YEARS OFF YOUR
APPEARANCE!
Your eyes are the first thing others see when they look at you.
Do friends and co-workers constantly ask why you look so tired all
the time? Are you feeling the competitive pressure at work from your
younger colleagues? Droopy, sagging upper lids and puffy lower lids
can make you look tired and older than you really are. Eyelid surgery
can freshen your look and take years off your appearance!
As an experienced eyelid and facial surgeon, Dr. Stern uses the
latest techniques to improve your appearance. For a mild to moderate
amount of excess skin, a simple laser treatment of the upper eyelids
without any incisions or stitches may be all that is required. For
those with heavy or droopy upper eyelids, an incision may be necessary
to remove the excess skin and fat, giving your eyes a more open,
brighter appearance. With the heaviness gone, not only should you
look less tired, but many of our patients feel as though they see
more of their field of vision as well.
For puffy lower eyelids, depending upon your specific condition,
Dr. Stern often utilizes the laser using an innovative “sutureless” technique.
Dr. Stern uses the laser to make an incision from the inside of the
eyelid, removing the fat pockets that form the bags of the lower
lids. Loose skin and wrinkles of the lower lids and crows feet may
be treated with the laser as well, to smooth and tighten the skin.
The lids generally heal much more quickly than the traditional method
without any telltale scars, and with less bruising
and swelling. This may enable you to return to work and normal activities
much
more quickly. Most important, the aging, puffy, tired appearance
disappears and your eyes appear refreshed with youth and vitality!
In general, most eyelid surgeries take about one to two hours, and
are performed on an outpatient basis, in our state-of-the-art, JCAHO-certified
procedure room, ensuring your safety, comfort and convenience.
When it comes to your eyes, seek a surgeon with experience you can
trust. As a board certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Stern has specialized
in cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery since 1987, and is
one of the Puget Sound areas most experienced eyelid surgeons. |
