You don’t have to choose a surgical procedure to get rid of stubborn fat. If you have problem areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise, truSculpt® iD could be for you.
You can revive the region around your eyes either to correct functional issues or simply to appear years younger, healthy and attractive if this is the primary area where your aging shows.
What should your expectations be from this type of operation? First, let’s talk about the ways that it is used – how it serves as treatment. Then we will get into an overview of how this will happen, in terms of what you should experience during the operation itself and tips for what to expect during your immediate recovery.
Here are five examples of what aspects of appearance and function eyelid surgery can be used to treat, offered by the nonprofit American Society of Plastic Surgeons:
Eyelid surgery is conducted as an outpatient operation. Dr. Pastorek will introduce a numbing medication to your lids and also give you medication either by mouth, or intravenously, to help you relax.
If your upper eyelids are your concern, the procedure involves careful measuring and marking of your upper eyelid skin. The doctor will precisely extra tissue skin, muscle tissue and (in some cases) fat by making an incision along the eyelid’s fold. The incision is closed with sutures finer than hair. The doctor will also apply special tapes and glue to support your skin and provide the best environment for the finest healing.
If you are having a lower eyelid procedure, the incision may be inside the lid or outside depending on whether or not extra skin need to be removed to smooth the contour of the lower eyelid area. If there is extra skin, the incision is right beneath the eyelashes (in a natural crease). Skin muscle and fat may be removed and external incisions are closed with the same type of super fine non-irritating suture to provide the most beautiful healing. Small tapes may be applied to support your skin to, again, provide the best results.
Healing from eyelid surgery is quite rapid due to the delicate nature of the eye tissue. You should be able to experience an incredible outcome if you work with the right surgeon.
