Eyelid Surgery | Blepharoplasty Cincinnati, Ohio

Eyelid Surgery Cincinnati Ohio

Your eyes are a prominent feature of your physical appearance and are frequently the subject of initial impressions. As we age, the smooth skin of our youthful eyelids expands, and the fat pad beneath our eyes protrudes. Heavy upper eyelids and extra skin may be accompanied by drooping and sagging eyebrows. Sunlight, age, and genetics all play a role in this. Luckily Dr. Shalini Gupta offers eyelid surgery to help patients who suffer from aging eyelids in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Droopy eyelids are unattractive and can give the impression that you’re fatigued or older than you actually are. Upper eyelid skin may droop over the eyelashes and obstruct vision if the condition is severe enough.

Eyelid Surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can improve both the upper and lower eyelids’ appearance. This operation is performed to remove excess skin and fat from around the eyes to make them look younger. This technique can help restore your natural eyelash position and improve your vision if sagging skin is causing visual obstruction.

An incision is created in the natural crease of the eyelid and any excess skin and fat are cut away. The incision for removing fat from the lower eyelid is typically hidden in a natural crease. In this case, there is no outward trace of a scar, and the eyelids seem much better than before.

Understanding the Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Surgery)

Examine your reflection in the glass carefully. Now, close one eye and notice how the lid closes back when you open it. Dr. Shalini Gupta can hide her surgical incisions in a natural crease that forms along the upper lid. At the point where the upper lids meet, redundant folds of skin can form. Excess fat and skin can be both physically and emotionally bothersome. Dr. Gupta makes it possible for the lids to open and close normally by removing excess skin and fat.

As part of an upper blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Gupta may work on the orbicularis oculi, the muscle responsible for opening and closing the upper eyelid. Dr. Gupta improves the aesthetics of the upper face by repositioning the fine muscles so that they match the newly contoured tissue of the lid.

Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)

Many of us struggle with perpetually puffy under-eye bags. If you have tried everything from ice packs to medicated creams without success, Dr. Shalini Gupta may be your best bet. She has perfected a lower blepharoplasty technique that eliminates dark circles and rejuvenates the upper face. Dr. Supta reshapes the delicate skin to make it appear taut and firm after removing excess tissue from the fat pads under the eyes.

What is the Eyelid Surgery Procedure Like?

Dr. Shalini Gupta and her expert staff will make every effort to put you at ease during your blepharoplasty treatment. General anesthesia is commonly used during eyelid surgery to ensure the patient’s complete safety and comfort.

In upper blepharoplasty, tiny incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelid. In order to remove bags beneath the eyes or tighten the lower eyelid, tiny incisions are made just below the lower lash line.

Eyelid procedures can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the severity of the ptosis (sagging) the patient wishes to treat. In contrast to other forms of cosmetic surgery, blepharoplasty can be completed in significantly less time and with greater precision.

What to Expect Immediately After Eyelid Surgery

For the first day after surgery, cold compresses are applied to the eyelids to minimize swelling and bruising. In order to speed up the recovery process, many people use antibiotic ointment or drops. Patients in Cincinnati who have undergone blepharoplasty should rest for a few days. One or two doses of Tylenol in the evening after surgery should be sufficient to control any minor discomfort. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising for up to two weeks, but typically feel better after four days.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

It’s great to look good, but life is all about how you feel. The procedure to rejuvenate the eyelids has both cosmetic and practical benefits. Along the treatment area, the skin is lifted and shaped. By shaping the fine tissue along the upper face in the right way, Dr. Gupta keeps things from getting in the way of what he can see. Blepharoplasty improves your side vision and makes the upper part of your face tighter.

Does Eyelid Surgery Have Any Risks?

Rarely, you might experience some discomfort, bleeding, infection, or a shift in your vision. Blepharoplasty is a safe procedure that has enhanced the looks of many people. The goal of the operation is to restore your youthful appearance. In most cases, the potential for a longer recovery time after this surgery is far outweighed by the advantages.

Am I A Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty patients can be of any race or ethnicity, gender, or age. Although most patients are over the age of 35, younger patients may consider blepharoplasty if they have a family history of ptosis (drooping eyelids) or puffy bags under the eyes.

Patients who are the best candidates for eyelid surgery:

  • Are in reasonably good physical condition
  • Have realistic expectations on outcomes
  • Do not smoke cigarettes or vapes
  • Otherwise healthy with no outstanding medical conditions which could delay the healing process

How Long Do Eyelid Surgery Results Last?

Blepharoplasty is a permanent solution for most patients. Results from upper eyelid surgery typically last between 8 and 10 years, and those from lower eyelid surgery last forever, though this can vary from patient to patient.

Is There Any Scarring with Eyelid Surgery?

Scarring is to be expected after surgery, of course. However, after several months of healing, blepharoplasty leaves minimal to no visible scarring. During the healing process, the surgical incisions should not be exposed to excessive force, abrasion, or motion to help reduce the likelihood of scarring.

Will Eyelid Surgery Get Rid of Eye Wrinkles?

No. The wrinkles that form at the outer corners of your eyes (crow’s feet) and drooping brows are not targets of eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Wrinkles around the eyes can also be treated with other techniques such as Botox and other neurotoxins, which we also offer at our Cincinnati, Ohio office.

Is There Any Downtime After Eyelid Surgery?

You’ll need to have someone come get you after surgery and drive you home. Anesthetized patients require close supervision for the first 24 hours after surgery. For a few days after blepharoplasty, your vision will be blurry, making it unsafe for you to drive or perform certain tasks without assistance.

How Much Does Eyelid Surgery Cost?

Eyelid surgery will help you see a better future. You should get the best care at the right price, and Dr. Gupta will give you clear information on pricing and financing options during your initial consultation.
