Blepharoplasty in Miami, FL
There’s an excellent reason the eyes are known as “the window to the soul” – they communicate many messages without a word.
However, it’s precisely because your eyes can express so much emotion that they are often the earliest part of your face to show telltale signs of aging.
As you get older, the appearance of your upper and lower eyelids could be conveying the sense that you are tired, sad, or unapproachable, even when none of those things are true. Fortunately, a surgery called a blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, can take years off your appearance and help revitalize the delicate skin around your eyes.
The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Blepharoplasty is a straightforward, outpatient procedure that is highly customized to your aesthetic goals. You can choose treatment as a stand-alone surgery, or in combination with another procedure such as a brow lift for even better results.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
In upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Gerth will make tiny incisions in the natural creases above the eyes, through which he can remove excess skin and fat or minutely adjust the underlying muscles to achieve the desired results.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
In lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Gerth can address the pocket of excess fat that often cause the appearance of heavy bags under the eyes. The procedure involves making small incisions either on the inside of the eyelids or around the lower eyelashes, depending on which approach Dr. Gerth decides will work best for you. Using these incisions, Dr. Gerth will create a smoother contour under the eyes by either removing or repositioning the fat deposits and tightening the muscles.
Who Should Seek a Blepharoplasty?
If others frequently assume you are tired or angry because of cosmetic aging around the eyes, a blepharoplasty can help your face look uplifted and youthful, giving you a newfound sense of confidence that your appearance accurately reflects who you are as a person.
Other affecting your appearance, significantly droopy upper eyelids can impede your ability to see. With blepharoplasty, Dr. Gerth can reduce or eliminate these vision problems, recontour your eyelids, and make your overall eye area appear young, bright, and alert.
The ideal candidate for eyelid surgery is a man or woman in good physical health who is dissatisfied with the laxity of skin around their eyelids, worried about their obscured vision, and has achievable goals for improving their appearance through cosmetic surgery.
You may consider blepharoplasty surgery if you have:
- Sagging upper eyelids
- Eyes that always make you look sleepy or unhappy
- Upper eyelids that have lost their shape and have begun to interfere with your peripheral vision
- Excess skin and fat on your lower eyelids that result in bags or puffiness under your eyes
