Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) in Raleigh, NY

Understanding Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Glenn Lyle uses blepharoplasty to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate upper and lower eyelids, creating a more alert and youthful appearance. This cosmetic procedure helps eliminate saggy eyelids, improving both aesthetic appeal and visual function.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Lift

Blepharoplasty is suitable for men and women experiencing:

• Excess, drooping skin on upper eyelids
• Puffy bags beneath lower eyelids
• Vision impairment due to hanging skin
• Functional difficulties caused by eyelid skin folds

Surgical Techniques

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery decreases skin folds drooping over the eye. An incision is carefully made along the lid crease to remove loose skin and fatty tissue, producing a more awakened and appealing look.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower lid correction reduces puffy skin beneath the eyelid. Surgeons make an incision along the lash line to remove tissue and fat, creating a softer, flatter appearance.

Procedure Details

Eyelid surgery typically takes up to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Patients should plan for approximately one week of recovery, using cold compresses to manage discomfort and swelling.

Complementary Treatments

To maintain surgical results, Dr. Glenn Lyle recommends complementary non-surgical treatments such as fillers, peels, and laser procedures to preserve a youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

While blepharoplasty results can last years, the natural aging process continues. Patients can expect improved eye appearance and potentially enhanced visual field functionality.
