If your eyes are a problem area on your face, there is a chance that you may be a good candidate for a laser blepharoplasty surgery.
If you have baggy or droopy eyelids that sag over your eyes; have dark bags under your eyes that droop and sag; or have fat stored around your eyes, then you may want to look in to getting a laser blepharoplasty surgery.
Laser blepharoplasty is a surgery that shapes the area around your eyes. It generally takes between twenty and forty minutes, though the actual time for your surgery may vary. It is performed with a high precision laser, usually in your plastic surgeon’s office, and requires only a local anesthetic and ultra small pinhole incisions. There is no blood or other nastiness associated with the surgery, as the incision created will heal on its own immediately following the surgery. Laser blepharoplasty surgery is approved by the FDA.
In fact, laser blepharoplasty is one of the safest plastic surgery procedures that there is. There is no risk associated with the use of general anesthesia, and close to zero risk of hemorrhage or muscle damage. After the pinhole incision is made, a laser is focused under the skin around the eye. The energy from the laser melts away fat stored around your eyes, which is the primary cause of sagging and drooping in that area. Once the fat is melted, the laser is then used to tighten up the skin in the area to reduce folds and any appearance of excess skin. You will look great immediately after the surgery, but your body will also create collagen around the surgically altered area, further tightening the skin and adding to your youthful appearance. Most people who receive laser blepharoplasty surgery are happy immediately following the procedure, but look better and better over the following weeks. However, there is a chance of mild bruising around the eye, which is common for not only laser blepharoplasty surgery but all plastic surgery procedures. This bruising goes away after a few days, and is nothing to worry about.
If your eyes are a problem area on your face, then please do consider laser blepharoplasty surgery. It is a safe, painless, minimally invasive surgery that will make you look years younger. Contact a plastic surgeon today for a consultation, you are sure to be happy with the results.
