EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY)



ABOUT

Eyelid surgery also known as blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that involves the removal of extra skin from the eyelids and tightening of the muscles to improve the appearance and functionality eyelids.

The elasticity of the eyelid skin ( the ability of the skin to snap back to it’s original shape after being stretched) reduces with age, trauma, and sickness. This can lead to sagging, drooping, ectropion (outward flipping of the eyelid) or entropion (inward flipping of the eyelid). 

This can affect the appearance or functionality of the eyelids and can lead to

• Dryness of the eyes which is harmful to the cornea
• Eye lashes entering the eye (especially in cases of entropion)
• Irritation of the eyes which can cause a foreign body sensation (the feeling that something is in the eye)
• Watering and redness of the eyes
• An eyelid surgery can help treat or manage these discomforts

DECIDING TO HAVE YOUR EYELID PLASTIC SURGERY AT MIKO PLASTIC SURGERY IN BEVERLY HILLS

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a procedure to improve the appearance of your saggy eyelids. This procedure minimizes excess skin, tightens muscles, and repositions pockets of fat from the upper and lower eyelid.

For upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Michael K. Obeng will make an incision on the eyelid within a natural crease along the eyelid region and proceed with removing extra skin.

For lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Michael K. Obeng will make an incision around the lower eyelid region. He will proceed to remove skin around the eyelid and reposition fat pockets beneath the eye to create a smooth, contoured appearance between the eyelid and cheek.

After the incisions are made, Dr. Michael K. Obeng will seal the incisions with sutures.
