MilfordMD Skin & Laser Center Has the AnswerDroopy eyelids, puffiness and bags under your eyes can make you look older, worn and tired. There is a procedure called Blepharoplasty which can improve the way you look and correct these problems.
By: Holly Vitchers Surgical upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes excess upper lid skin and fat via an external skin incision placed in the upper lid crease. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty uses an external incision below the lash line and addresses bulging (herniated) fat, puffy eyelid "bags" and wrinkling. Lower lid fat may also be removed without any incisions in the skin using a procedure known as transconjunctival blepharoplasty where a CO2 laser or the Ellman RF device may be used. After surgical blepharoplasty the eyes do not need to be covered. Cold compresses and head elevation when lying down enhance healing and moisturizing eye drops may be recommended. Some initial swelling and bruising occurs but mostly subsides within a week or two. The final results can take several months to reach maximum improvement due to ongoing tissue tightening and stabilizing. Normal activity can be resumed within two days after surgery though strenuous exercise should be avoided for two to three weeks.
