eyelid rejuvenation in Toledo

An open discussion about concerns and goals, a thorough history and examination, and patient education with an experienced and qualified board-certified plastic surgeon are the most effective ways to determine which eyelid rejuvenation in Toledo is the best option to address your concerns. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, we have experience with multiple surgical and non-surgical options so it is critical to find a qualified source you can trust to fairly and thoroughly explore which procedure or combination of procedures would fit your budget, tolerance of downtime and goals.

There are a variety of surgical approaches to address eyelid aging concerns as well as functional issues with the skin and tissue around the eyes. At EVOLV, we believe in personalizing the technique to the individual concerns and anatomy of each patient.  Dr. Barone has completed specialized post graduate training in eyelid surgery and prefers to use techniques that preserve and reposition tissue to obtain more natural appearing results without an ‘operated look’.

While there are a few situations where insurance may cover correction of eyelid droop (ptosis) or severe skin excess that is blocking vision, most eyelid surgery is usually self-pay.  Insurance coverage for resection of upper eyelid skin excess that is partially obstructing vision is a much less complete procedure than the comprehensive rejuvenative blepharoplasty procedures that we specialize in at EVOLV Plastic Surgery.  The cost of eyelid surgery will depend upon the extent, time, and nature of the procedure as well any accompanying surgery or services that are planned.  The EVOLV Patient Coordinator will provide each patient with an itemized quote detailing all costs as well as expected recovery time.

Recovery or downtime after blepharoplasty procedures will depend on each patient’s anatomy and aging patterns, eyelid sensitivity, the surgical technique, and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore will vary.

It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program, as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

As with all aesthetic surgical procedures, eyelid surgery results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre/post-treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique and approach, and most importantly post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments.

In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning and preservation of natural anatomy in eyelid surgery provide the most natural looking and long-lasting rejuvenation results.  A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, which can extend youthful results far longer than traditional eyelid operative techniques.
