About this Treatment
Eyelid Rejuvenation
Surgical rejuvenation of the eyelids, or ‘blepharoplasty’, are procedures that address aging changes of the upper, lower, and adjacent areas around the eyelids.
Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures requested in plastic surgery and has an excellent safety record when performed by an appropriately trained and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. If you’re interested in eyelid rejuvenation in Toledo, Ohio our team of experts can help.
What It Is
We may perform surgery on the upper or lower eyelids or both. Sometimes, blepharoplasty is combined with other facial aesthetic procedures such as cheek lifts, facelifts, brow lifts, and skin peels or resurfacing to address general aging concerns more comprehensively. Eyelid rejuvenation in Toledo, Ohio with Dr. Frank Barone can restore a more youthful appearance and rejuvenate the area surrounding the eyes as well as improve functional problems in some cases where fatigue or upper visual field loss has occurred because of visual obstruction from drooping skin or sagging upper eyelids.

Benefits

- Improved Vision May improve vision in those patients who have developed drooping of the upper eyelid which can obstruct vision (referred to as ptosis or blepharoptosis) by correcting lid position.
How Eyelid Rejuvenation Works
Step 01.
We will perform a medical history and examination along with a thorough discussion of each patient’s goals and expectations to create a proper treatment plan and discuss costs, and recovery time. In some cases, a pre-operative evaluation from an ophthalmologist or optometrist may be recommended.
Step 02.
Anesthesia may be local injection, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia depending on patient preferences and the extent of the procedure.
Step 03.
After proper anesthesia is obtained, incisions are designed so that they will be concealed within the natural folds of the eyelids. In select cases, we may make a lower eyelid incision inside the actual lid (transconjunctival blepharoplasty) resulting in no visible incisional scar. The surface of the eye and the cornea are always covered and protected during the surgery.
Step 04.
Excess skin and fat or fatty bags may be removed, repositioned, or modified to restore the natural features and contour of a younger eyelid. If a cheek lift is planned, we will perform it simultaneously through the lower eyelid incision.
Step 05.
Incisions are closed, and we apply lubricant along with cold compresses to reduce swelling. If planned, we may also perform a skin peel at the end of the procedure.
Step 06.
After a brief stay in the recovery area, you will be discharged, and your transportation home arranged, along with all your follow-up appointments in the office. Post-operative therapeutic services such as lymphatic massage, LED light therapy, medical makeup, and camouflage will also be scheduled to reduce swelling and improve your recovery time and results.
