Eyelid Surgery Candidate

An ideal candidate for eyelid surgery includes individuals who have sagging or drooping eyelid skin that may impair vision, puffiness, dark circles, or under-eye bags, as well as signs of aging around the eyes. While drooping eyelids are commonly associated with aging and affect people in their 30s or 40s, this condition can sometimes be hereditary and impact younger individuals as well. 

To qualify for the procedure, candidates must be in good overall health and be non-smokers. Additionally, patients need to be of legal age to undergo the surgery, though there’s no upper age limit – the right timing depends on personal concerns and aesthetic goals rather than a specific age requirement. 

Beyond cosmetic improvements, eyelid surgery can provide functional benefits by improving peripheral vision when excess skin obstructs the line of sight, making it suitable for both aesthetic and medical reasons.

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Blepharoplasty

Removes excess skin and fat from upper eyelids, addressing drooping that can obstruct vision while creating a more alert, youthful appearance.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Eliminates under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles by removing excess fat and tightening skin for a refreshed look.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Creates natural-looking folds for patients with monolid eyes, yielding a permanent crease that enhances eye size and brightness. Popular among East Asians seeking larger, more defined eyes.

Full-Incisional Technique

Makes precise incisions to remove excess fat, skin, and soft tissues, then attaches skin and muscle to the tarsus. Incisions are placed in natural eyelid creases for virtually imperceptible healing.

Suture Technique (DST)

Also known as Double Suture and Twisting Technique, strategically places sutures to compress upper lid structure, creating a natural-looking crease without extensive incisions.

Transconjunctival Eyelid Surgery

Addresses excess fat pockets to reduce puffiness and swelling. Ideal for patients with good skin elasticity, precisely adjusts orbital fat to remove eye bags without additional procedures.

Eyelid Surgery Procedure: What To Expect?

The eyelid surgery procedure typically involves several steps to address specific concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

Before the surgery, Dr. Sanam Zahedi conducts a comprehensive consultation to assess the patient’s eyelid anatomy, discuss their goals, and address any questions or concerns they may have.

During the procedure, Dr. Zahedi carefully removes excess skin and fat tissue from the eyelids to improve their appearance and function.

The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or rarely general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preferences and the extent of the surgical procedure.

After the surgery, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which can be managed with cold compresses.

It’s essential to follow Dr. Zahedi’s post-operative instructions closely, including keeping the head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial recovery period.

Eyelid Surgery Recovery

Recovery from eyelid surgery typically involves a downtime of 1 to 2 weeks, during which patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and sensitivity around the eyes. It’s crucial to give the eyes proper rest and avoid activities that may strain or irritate them during this time.

Patients should also follow Dr. Sanam Zahedi’s recommendations for eye care, including gently cleansing the eyelids and applying prescribed ointments or eye drops as directed.

As the swelling subsides and incisions heal, patients will begin to notice gradual improvements in the appearance of their eyelids.

Dr. Zahedi schedules follow-up appointments to monitor progress, remove any sutures, and address any concerns that may arise during the recovery process. Post operative injectables like Botox and filler around the eyes can add to the longevity of the procedure. Dr. Zahedi can review a personalized approach a month after the procedure is complete.

With proper care and patience, patients can enjoy long-lasting results and a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
