Eyelid Surgery in Portland Oregon

People's eyes are generally the first thing they notice about you, and they're an important part of your entire appearance. The skin of the eyelids is smooth while they are young, but as they age, the skin stretches, the fat bulges, and the muscles weaken.

As a result, the brows may sag and droop (brow ptosis). This process is influenced by age, heredity, and sun exposure. Lids that are too loose or baggy distract from your overall appearance, making you appear fatigued or older When the brow droops, additional skin descends over the upper lids, exaggerating hooding and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, giving you a sad, fatigued, or furious appearance. Furthermore, if the top eyelid skin hangs over the lashes, it can block peripheral vision.

One or more of the following benefits can be achieved through eyelid surgery:

-Improving the appearance of the upper eye area

-Improving the appearance of swollen under-eye bags

-Removing fat deposits and loose skin from the upper and lower eyelids

-Improving peripheral vision that has been hampered by upper eyelid hooding

Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids

Top eyelid blepharoplasty is a treatment that removes extra skin and repositions fat from the upper eyelids, giving your eyes a brighter, more youthful appearance.

The extra skin and fat pads are gently removed through a tiny incision on the upper eyelid.

Fine sutures are used to repair the wound, which are placed along the natural lines or wrinkles of the eyelid to hide any scars.

This technique can be performed in the office or in an outpatient surgery center.

The upper eyelids will be numbed with a numbing shot, and the process will take about 30 minutes to complete.
