There is no reason for people to continue living with the disappointment in certain features of their body. No matter the age, everyone has some feature of their physical appearance they wish they could change. This desire tends to home in on specific features of the face. One area people wish to change is the eyelid and fortunately, we can help with that.
At Paul C. Dillon, MD Inc, we provide patients with the eyelid lift surgical procedure. With this surgical procedure, we can help alter the appearance, remove excess skin and reduce bags under the eyes. This treatment can also help patients who struggle with vision issues due to sagging eyelids or drooping skin around the eyes.
If you are interested in enhancing the appearance of your eyelids and possibly benefiting your vision in the process, give us a call and schedule a consultation today.
Far too often, people will attempt to treat wrinkles and sagging skin with store-bought topical creams or products. Unfortunately, these products are not always as effective as professional surgery. Even if the people see some results with these products, they need to continue using the products on a regular basis. Instead of wasting money on services that do not produce long-lasting results, invest in an eyelid lift.
The benefits of this plastic surgery branch out to more than just altering the appearance of the eyelids. Benefits of this procedure include:
Also known as a blepharoplasty, this surgery will help patients who struggle with impaired peripheral vision due to the sagging eyelids.

While this procedure can occur in conjunction with other procedures, that is not always the case. We will need to verify the patient is a candidate for this procedure during a consultation.

During the consultation, we also need to know if the patient has had any surgical work done to their face prior to beginning this procedure. In some cases, past surgical procedures on or around the same area can affect the procedure.
We will also go over the patient’s expectations for the outcome of this procedure and how close we can help them get to make those expectations a reality. The patient may also need to receive a physical examination and an eye exam before this procedure.
The Surgery
The patient will not need to stay overnight for this procedure and will be under anesthesia during this procedure. This way, the patient will not feel any pain during the procedure. During this procedure, we will cut along the eyelid and remove excess skin, muscle and fat. If we are treating the lower eyelid, we may need to redistribute some of the fat, muscle or sagging skin around.
Regardless of the technique we use, we will ensure the patient’s safety during this procedure. The surgery can take up to around two hours. The patient will need to take the day off from work or other responsibilities.
Follow-up Care
Following the surgery, the patient will need to remain under medical supervision for a while to ensure there are no major health concerns. However, the patient will be able to leave that same day and continue resting at home. Following the surgery, patients will need to:
