Blepharoplasty to Address Chronically Tired Eyes

We can feel happy, energetic and full of enthusiasm and have our eyes convey a message of haggardness, exhaustion and severity. Time and gravity can pull upper eyelids downward or create pouchy lower lids, creating a look of tiredness, confusion or even anger. Certainly that’s not how we want to face the world.

When vision becomes affected, many people seek treatment for eyelid dysfunction, but what if it’s merely a cosmetic issue? You don’t need to be vain to get blepharoplasty to correct disorders of the eyelids. When performed with experience and skill, blepharoplasty doesn’t produce effects that declare, “I had cosmetic surgery.” Refined blepharoplasty simply restores your natural look by removing any excess skin and fatty bulges, and gently lifting drooping upper lids or hanging lower lids. Blepharoplasty treats discomfort too, correcting conditions like inward- or outward-turning eyelids (which can cause irritation and invite eye infection) as well as festoons, which are skin folds in the lower eyelids and swelling of the upper cheeks. In a single out-patient procedure, blepharoplasty can address single or multiple issues, creating a refreshed, restored and more alert appearance.

Lake Eye’s Board-certified Comprehensive
Ophthalmologist Dr. Shelby Terpstra has performed countless successful eyelid surgeries to restore a more relaxed and refreshed appearance as well as a wider, rejuvenated field of vision. “My patients are looking to have their natural facial expressions restored to match their overall energy, confidence and mood,” says Dr. Terpstra. “By relieving the effects of time and gravity, blepharoplasty opens eyes and provides an invigorated look that invites others to ask if you have returned from a vacation, not a plastic surgeon’s office.” The results are dramatic enough to make a real difference in one’s appearance while remaining pleasingly subtle and natural-looking.

Blepharoplasty is a safe, quick, minimally-invasive procedure with quick recovery and little to no downtime. The results can create many years of enhanced attractiveness and confidence. In cases where eyelid drooping or bagginess seriously impacts vision, blepharoplasty may be covered by Medicare.
