About Eyelid Surgery
As we age, fat can accumulate where we least want or expect it. When fat deposits linger along the upper face, they can obscure the proverbial windows to the soul: the eyes. To address ptosis (sagging), Dr. Pittas can perform an eyelid enhancement procedure that celebrates your natural contours while turning back the hands of time.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Take a long look at yourself in the mirror. Now slowly close one eye and watch how the lid retracts as you open it again. There is a natural fold along the upper lid, and that is where Dr. Pittas can conceal his surgical incisions. The skin may form redundant folds at the upper intersection of the lid. Excess skin and fat can become unsightly and uncomfortable. By removing unwanted skin and fat cells, Dr. Pittas liberates the lids to function with ease.
As part of an upper blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Pittas may also address the orbicularis oculi – the muscle responsible for opening and closing the upper eyelid. By bringing the fine muscles into alignment with the newly contoured tissue of the lid, Dr. Pittas creates a pleasing look and feel to the upper facial region.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Bags under the eyes can be a persistent problem for many of us. When topical creams and ice masks fail to send those bags packing, consider a visit to see Dr. Pittas at Soma Face+Body. He has perfected a lower blepharoplasty method that reduces under-eye bags and elevates the entire upper face to its youthful appearance. After removing excess tissue from the fat pads below the eyes, Dr. Pittas re-drapes the delicate skin to create a taut, firm look.

Preparation

The duration of eyelid surgeries vary, depending on the extent of the ptosis (sagging) the patient wants to correct. In general, however, blepharoplasty is a faster, more focused procedure than most cosmetic enhancements.
Rapid Recovery
It is normal and natural to experience swelling and tenderness immediately after the blepharoplasty procedure. Any minor discomfort can be treated using a cold compress and elevating the head. Prop yourself up with pillows when you sleep for 1-2 weeks after eyelid surgery.
The eyes may be especially sensitive to light, and some people do experience blurring and double vision. However, the majority of patients can enjoy regular vision within 2-3 days after surgery. If you have contact lenses, you can expect to resume wearing them between 10-14 days after the blepharoplasty procedure.
