Drooping eyelids don’t just make you look sad, tired, and aged, they can also affect your vision. If you’re grappling with the frustration of drooping eyelids, we here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center want to help you.
Read on to learn how Dr. Yaqub Baraki can help you achieve improved vision and renewed confidence with blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.
Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, can gradually affect not only your appearance but also your quality of life. As the delicate skin and muscles around your eyes lose their elasticity, the eyelids may begin to sag, obstructing your field of vision. This condition can lead to difficulties in daily activities such as reading, driving, or even recognizing faces.
Although some medical conditions can cause ptosis, it’s usually the result of age, and the muscles and skin of your lids stretch and weaken. Younger patients may find they experience drooping eyelids because of genetics or environmental factors, including smoking.
Blepharoplasty is consistently one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. It offers a precise and effective solution for drooping eyelids that affect your eyesight and appearance.
During the procedure, Dr. Baraki removes excess eyelid skin and tightens the underlying muscles. This not only restores a youthful appearance but also lifts the eyelids, enhancing your field of vision and improving your overall eyesight.
At our practice, we recognize that every individual's concerns and aspirations are unique. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Baraki evaluates your condition, medical history, and desired outcomes. This personalized approach enables us to tailor a treatment plan that not only addresses your drooping eyelids but also aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Undergoing eyelid surgery is not just about correcting a functional concern; it's also a transformative experience that can boost your confidence and enhance your self-esteem. As you recover, you'll notice not only improved eyesight but also a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
In the week after surgery, you may have some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes. Applying cold compresses and taking your prescribed pain medication can help alleviate these symptoms.
Most patients find it beneficial to rest with their head elevated and avoid activities that could strain the eyes.
By the end of the second week, most noticeable swelling and bruising should have significantly improved. You might feel comfortable using makeup to camouflage any remaining discoloration.
After one month, swelling significantly subsides, and you’ll notice improvements in your appearance. At about six weeks, your results are pretty settled, though you’ll continue to see effects of the full healing process for several months.
You’ll witness a remarkable before-and-after journey as your rejuvenated eyes reflect clarity and vibrancy.
If your drooping eyelids are affecting your eyesight and diminishing your confidence, it's time to take action. Our entire team here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions that empower you to regain both your vision and your self-confidence.
