Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) Oak Lawn, IL | SAC Plastic Surgery - Dr. Saeed Chowdhry

About Eyelid Surgery

A person's eyes are a beautiful facial feature that deserves to be showcased. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Saeed Chowdhry performs eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelid, creating a younger and more awakened facial appearance.

Surgical Technique

Eyelid surgery may be performed on different areas with specific techniques:

Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Decreases skin folds that impair vision
• Incision placed along lid crease
• Removes loose skin and fatty tissue

Lower Eyelid Surgery

• Improves puffy and bulging skin beneath the lower lid
• Incision made along lash line
• Surgically removes tissue and fat
• May incorporate laser procedures or fillers

Ideal Candidates

Blepharoplasty is suitable for both women and men experiencing excess, drooping skin on upper eyelids or puffiness under bottom eyelids. Candidates often face functional difficulties or visual obstruction due to hanging skin.

Procedure Expectations

Eyelid surgery typically takes up to two hours and requires approximately one week of recovery. Results can last a decade or longer, though they cannot completely halt the natural aging process.

Potential Benefits

• Improved vision field
• Enhanced facial appearance
• Easier makeup application
• Reduced fine lines and puffiness

Treatment Considerations

While blepharoplasty offers significant improvements, Dr. Chowdhry might recommend combining surgical and nonsurgical treatments for optimal results. During consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed based on individual aesthetic goals.
