Patients in the Phoenix area suffering from droopy eyelids with excess skin or fat may benefit from eyelid surgery at Dermacare Plastic Surgery. Under the care of Dr. Rod, patients can achieve their ideal look and possibly even improve their range of vision.
What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery?
As people age, their skin loses its elasticity. In addition to producing noticeable changes in the rest of the face, this process is particularly apparent in the eyelids, which can begin to droop and sag. In some cases, patients can even experience dark circles or puffy areas under the eyes. An eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, can help these types of Phoenix area patients in the following ways:
- Removes fat to reduce under-eye puffiness
- Removes excess skin to eliminate sagging and drooping
- Tightens lax muscles to help eyes look more open and alert
- Improves vision by removing excess skin of the upper eyelid that is acting as an obstruction
Best of all, eyelid surgery can be performed right in our Phoenix office without hospitalization. Patients can choose to improve their lower lids, upper lids, or both lids. Both upper and lower lid surgeries also involve limited scarring, as incisions are made inside the eyelid and in the natural creases in the eyelids.
