EYELIFT & EYELID SURGERY
Upper & Lower Eyelid Surgery Minneapolis
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that changes natural eyelid anatomy or reverses the changes that come with age. This procedure can be done on the upper or lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's inclination and physiology. The results are among the most rejuvenating changes a person can receive as he or she ages.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery consists of extracting a strip of drooping skin with some muscle tissue and fat.
This surgery might be covered – at least partially – by insurance if the person feels his or her eye sight is being compromised by the weight or sagging or his or her upper eyelids. Visual field tests will need to be done to establish this.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery involves taking away fatty deposits mainly with only a small amount of skin.
These plastic surgeries can be performed, depending on preference, under local or general anesthesia. There is a fast healing time, and you can be back to work with little downtime.
Another benefit to eyelid surgery is that the results are long lasting, and needing additional surgery years later is very rare. Contact Dr. Richard S. Werner of Edina MN today for a free consultation.
