Today I was reading about Dr. Oscar A. Suarez, who offers eyelid surgery in Costa Rica, which he claims requires one day in the hospital and 7 days recuperation after the surgery.
This stimulated me to research this procedure....I found that eyelid surgery is conducted when patients want to address stretched eyelid skin that comes with aging. The muscles around the eye fatigue, and fat accumulates. So those "bags" we get above and below our eyes are not just due to lack of sleep (if it were only that easy to address!). Sometimes these eyelid changes are more serious, interrupting a person's ability to see.
Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift. Recovery time is suppose to be about 10 days.
Since I'm new to this, would love to have anyone with eyelid surgery (or Dr. Suarez) experiences to share with our readers thoughts, opinions, comments.
Thanks for your article.This might be useful for you. Eyelid lifts can either be done alone or together with face and neck lifts or eyebrow and forehead lifts. If done alone, the operation takes about one and a half hours for all four eyelids. The upper eyelid skin is removed through fine incisions placed in the upper eyelid creases. The fat is trimmed through the same incision.You can read More about it at http://www.drjenniferlevine.com/eyelid_lift.php
