Eyelid Surgery

Every year, one hundred thousand men and women choose blepharoplasty to improve the way they look.

Droopy eyelids can make you look older and can also impair vision. Blepharoplasty removes the excess fat, muscle, and skin from the upper lids. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer eye area.

This procedure cannot alter dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nor can it change sagging eyebrows.

In upper eyelid surgery, Dr. El-Attar marks the individual lines and creases of the lids in order to keep the scars as invisible as possible along these natural folds. The incision is made, and excess fat, muscle, and loose skin are removed. Fine sutures are used to close the incisions, thereby minimizing the visibility of any scar.

The patient must make the commitment to follow the pre-surgical and post-operative instructions. A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal. Cold compresses, as well as head elevation when lying down, will enhance healing and relieve discomfort. Dr. El-Attar will prescribe medication for discomfort if needed. Eye drops may be recommended. For a week and a half following blepharoplasty, you will clean the eye area (the eyes may feel sticky, dry, and itchy). Dr. El-Attar will also list activities and environments to avoid in the weeks immediately following surgery. Permanent stitches will be removed in three to five days after surgery.
