How Does Eyelid Surgery (Cosmetic Blepharoplasty) Help Droopy Eyelids?
Upper eyelid surgery, sometimes referred to as an “eyelid lift” or “upper eye lift surgery,” rejuvenates the upper eyelid area, makes the eyes more alert, and takes weight off the eyelids. There are many aspects of cosmetic eyelid surgery to discuss with Dr. Chandler surgeon. It is important to realize that any actual “droopy” or closing eyelid would require repair of a muscle weakness, known as Ptosis, and standard eyelid aging. In cases where ptosis is present, a specialized ptosis repair might be needed.
Often, Dr. Chandler combines both blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery (repair) to achieve optimal upper eyelid surgery results. Many patients express a sensation of relief post-surgery, describing it as if “a weight was lifted off their eyelids,” leading to more open and vibrant eyes. For a detailed understanding and consultation, consider reaching out to Dr. Chandler.”
Makeup Magic After Eyelid Surgery in Philadelphia
Women who enjoy wearing eyelid makeup often face challenges due to excess baggy eyelid skin. This sagging skin makes the application of mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow difficult, if not impossible. Eyeliner can disappear under baggy lids, mascara may leave vertical smudges, and eyeshadow becomes hard to position correctly with heavy upper eyelids. But there’s a solution. For those who yearn for their eyes to “pop” with makeup again, Eyelid Surgery in Philadelphia by Dr. Chandler could be the perfect choice. Rediscover the joy of beautifully applied eyelid makeup!
Upper Eyelid Surgery – A Rejuvenation Choice for Men
Men too can enjoy the rejuvenating effects of upper eyelid surgery. After undergoing an upper eye lift, many report their eyelids looking less tired and worn-out, giving them a refreshed appearance. While fitness regimes and diets can improve many aspects of one’s physique, they can’t reverse the aging of the eyelids. In the past, cosmetic eyelid surgery was primarily sought by women. However, today’s men are equally keen on looking vibrant and attractive, much like their female counterparts. Both genders appreciate the enhancement in their photographs and selfies after the procedure, boosting their confidence, especially in the age of social media.

Upper Eyelid surgery can be performed in the office or at an outpatient surgical center and usually takes about an hour to perform. Recovery from an eye lift is fairly rapid and downtime is usually just a few days. Upper Eyelift surgery is an excellent procedure and patients typically love the results. Eyelid surgery is the surgical removal of excess tissues of the upper eyelid along with the sculpting and contouring of the eyelid and eyebrow region to give a beautiful refreshed result. Surgeons make incisions in the crease of the upper eyelid to hide them. They may use Botox or Dysport to enhance the result.

Recovery from eyelid surgery is not difficult. After Dr. Chandler performs your eye lift surgery, you will go home with light gauze covering your eyelids.

Pain is not acute, and it is manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

You may have some light swelling at times moving forward, and under eye bruising can take about 10 days to resolve. You can cover under-eye bruising with make-up if you wish. Most patients can return to work within 72 hours of eyelid surgery.
Blepharoplasty is still that…surgery. As such, there are the potential risks and complications of any surgery: infection, bleeding, and poor wound healing. Some rare eyelid-specific complications include eye injury, dry eyes, and problems closing an eyelid.
