(firmenpresse) - KANSAS CITY, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 03/16/16 -- Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as , is a facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address various signs of aging on the eyelids and surrounding area. At their practice, J. David Kriet, MD and Clinton D. Humphrey, MD say blepharoplasty can be performed on both the upper and/or lower eyelids, depending on each patient''s unique needs and goals.
According to the two surgeons, include both men and women who are troubled by age-related cosmetic concerns in the eye region. Additionally, they say the procedure can also be an excellent option for many people whose eyesight is obstructed by drooping eyelid skin. Some of the most typical indications Drs. Kriet and Humphrey see among patients seeking blepharoplasty at their practice include:
A sad/tired appearance
Excess, sagging skin on the eyelids
Volume loss in the lower eyelids
Lines and wrinkles in the eye region
Bags under the eyes
In most instances, eyelid surgery involves recontouring of eyelid fat, minor skin excision, and tightening of the eyelids for a more youthful, rested look. During the procedure, Dr. Kriet says exact incision placement will be determined on an individual basis, though he notes that incisions for upper and lower blepharoplasty are generally made along the natural creases of both eyelids in order to help conceal any potential scarring. For some lower eyelid surgery patients, he adds, a transconjunctival approach may be utilized to hide the incision inside the eyelid.
Regarding , Dr. Humphrey says patients can typically expect some minor swelling and bruising, but he notes these postoperative effects can often be diminished by keeping one''s head elevated and applying cold compresses to the eye region during the initial stages of healing. While some individuals are able to resume their normal daily routines within a week of surgery, he states the majority of patients make their return to work/public after about seven to ten days.
