Are you well rested but your eyes say otherwise? If you’re going to bed early and getting plenty of sleep every night, but you still look tired, it’s time to think about a different approach. It’s time to think about cosmetic eyelid-lift surgery from Dr. Mayli Davis and Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center.

What Is an Eyelid-Lift?

The eyelid-lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to give you a more well-rested appearance. The procedure does this by removing excess fat and tissue that makes eyelids droop, which, in turn, makes you look older.

The blepharoplasty procedure is fast and delivers amazing results that make you look younger, more alert and more awake. Here are some other things to know about eyelid surgery:

1. It is one of the most popular facial cosmetic surgery procedures – even more popular than the face-lift, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

2. Although often considered a cosmetic procedure, the most common reason people choose to get eyelid surgery is not related to appearance at all most people cite that sagging, loose skin impairs their vision.

3. Eyelid surgery is often performed with other procedures. While many people choose to have their eyelid-lift procedure as a solo surgery, it can be performed with other cosmetic procedures for great benefits. The procedure is commonly paired with the face-lift and brow-lift, facial fat transfers, and skin-resurfacing procedures.

4. It is not just for upper lids. While the majority (75 percent) of eyelid procedures are for upper lids, some people want lower-lid surgery in combination with upper-lid work or standalone lower-eyelid surgery.

5. Eyelid-lift surgery is one of the safest surgeries there is, but there’s risk to every surgery. Some risks associated with the eyelid procedure include adverse reaction to anesthesia, changes in sensation, allergic reaction to medication and scarring. But, these risks can be minimized if you choose an expert provider like Dr. Davis.

Risks can also be minimized by following all aftercare instructions given to you.

6. Recovery from eyelid-lift surgery is pretty fast. Most people who have the procedure are back to their normal level of activity quickly after their surgery, but there are some things to take into consideration – such as no heavy lifting or intense workouts – for a few weeks while you heal.
