Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery in Louisville, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to remove fat, excess skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can correct drooping of upper lids and puffy bags. It may also improve the field of vision due to sagging eyelid skin. This procedure lasts 1 to 2 hours and is usually performed under local or IV sedation.

Choosing Eyelid Surgery in Kentucky

This is a highly-detailed procedure that requires a surgeon to make careful incisions and corrections. Once eyelid surgery is complete, the patient might expect temporary discomfort, tightness of the lids, swelling, or bruising. Temporary dryness of the eyes and burning may also occur. Risks involved in this procedure include temporarily blurred or double vision, blindness (extremely rare), infection, swelling and bruising, difficulty in closing eyes, and pulling down of lower eyelids. Patients may return to work in 7 to 10 days, but should limit strenuous activity for three weeks or more. Bruising may be apparent for two to three weeks. Results last several years and may be permanent.

Patients may choose to combine their eyelid surgery with other facial cosmetic procedures, including brow lift, nose reshaping and facelift in Kentucky.
