Eyelid Surgery
The eyes are the focal points of the face. They express emotion, convey personality and help us communicate to those around us. By transforming the eyes to a more youthful appearance, Dr. Behar is able to rejuvenate your facial appearance dramatically. When fatty fullness bulges in the lower lids, resulting in bags, our eyes have an older, tired appearance. During a lower eyelid lift, the extra skin and the fatty fullness is removed through discreetly placed incisions just below the eyelash line. Some patients might benefit from lower eyelid rejuvenation without an external scar. Under circumstances where there is no extra eyelid skin, the dark circles below the eyes can be addressed through an incision placed discreetly within the pink inner part of the eyelid, thus resulting in no external scars at all. In upper lid blepharoplasty, the extra overhanging skin of the eyelid that develops over time and in response to gravity can be removed through hidden incisions within the eyelid fold. Fat excess that results in a hooded appearance of the upper eyelids can also be addressed through the same, all but invisible, incision.
Blepharoplasty can be combined with additional procedures, such as facelift, browlift, mid-facelift and necklift. In fact, a browlift can be performed through the same incision that is used for an upper eyelid lift. A mid-facelift can be added to a lower lid lift to add additional youthfulness without an additional scar. Consult with Dr. Behar in Cool Springs/Franklin or Smyrna to learn more about how your eyes can provide you a brighter, younger appearance.
