Los Angeles Eyelid Surgery
If your would-be-bright eyes are obscured by wrinkles, bags, or sagging skin, eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty, can give you a whole new look. While surgery around the eyes can seem intimidating, techniques have been improved over the years. At our Pasadena, Los Angeles surgical center, anesthetic is light, and the newest techniques minimize the discomfort of the recovery period. Los Angeles eyelid surgery specialist Dr. Yoho uses the latest refinements to treat the delicate eye areas. Patients recover from surgery with a new, fresher, more “awake” and rested expression.
Some people have bags or drooping around the eyes due to inherited characteristics. People with this issue are often bothered by bags and dark circles under their eyes even when they are young. Aside from this, most people notice drooping and wrinkles around the eyes as they get older. The thin, delicate skin around the eyes is often the first to noticeably show wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration. In some people, drooping of the upper lid can become pronounced enough that it is difficult to keep the eyes open all the way, and in the most severe cases, the eyelid can partially obscure vision. All of these issues can be addressed surgically. In the Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Simi Valley areas, Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yoho and his staff can accommodate you at the Lancaster, Palmdale office and Pasadena surgical center.
Los Angeles Eyelid Surgery | Cosmetic Surgery Options
There are many options when it comes to clients seeking the best Los Angeles eyelid surgery for their particular requirements. Basic eyelid surgeries can involve the upper lids, the lower lids, or both. Sometimes a brow lift in combination with eyelid surgery is the right choice to make the most of your look. Having an eyelid lift now might mean that a brow lift won’t be a good option later, so make sure to discuss this with your surgeon during your eyelid consultation. In addition to these options, lasers can be used to shrink and smooth the skin of the lids. Laser peeling can be used alone or in combination with surgery.
With upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made in the crease of the lid. A small amount of skin, and sometimes other tissue such as fat, is removed. Tiny stitches are then used to close the incision. These will be in the fold of the lid, and so will be invisible when the eye is open once they have healed. This kind of surgery, alone or in combination with a brow lift, can be used to remove drooping skin above the eyes.
Los Angeles Eyelid Surgery| New Laser Procedure
When surgery is done on the lower lid, newer methods often use only a laser rather than a scalpel. Older techniques involved making an incision with a scalpel below the eye, and removing excess tissue. Newer techniques involve making the incision with a laser on the inside of the lid only. Excess fat pads can be removed from the inside, and there is then no need for stitches. Recovery time is reduced, because the laser often reduces bleeding, and the associated bruising associated with surgery.
