Why is Eyelid Surgery a Popular Procedure?

Some of the earliest signs of aging appear in the skin around the eyes and can occur in some people as early as their 30s. Deep, hollow lines around the lower eyelids, sometimes called tear troughs, can appear tired. In addition, in older patients, the skin of the lower eyelids can start to sag, creating bags under the eyes.

These are slightly different problems that require other treatment techniques and approaches. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vila is an expert on the most current practices to improve the appearance of these issues. Reach out and set up your consultation, and learn more about how Dr. Vila can restore the appearance of your eyelids for an overall boost to that youthful glow.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is designed to address sagging skin specific to the upper and lower eyelids and surrounding areas. During your eyelid surgery in Portland, small incisions are made and the skin is tightened and rejuvenated around the eyes to achieve a younger, refreshed, and appealing appearance.

What’s the Blepharoplasty Procedure Like?

Blepharoplasty in Portland, by Dr. Vila, is customized according to the specific needs of each individual. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure can sometimes be done in the office under local anesthesia. More complex or combined systems would be done in the operating room. Dr. Vila performs transconjunctival (hidden incisions) and transcutaneous (well-hidden external incisions under the lash line) for lower eyelids to address aging. If incisions are made on the skin, tiny stitches are placed and removed one week later. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour, and patients go home afterward.

Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation

For the upper eyelids, sometimes the skin can sag down over the eyes, covering up the skin where eyeshadow is applied, and can even block vision in severe cases. Addressing sagging in the upper eyelids is a quick procedure that involves very careful and conservative treatment, and should be done by an expert who is experienced in this procedure. Dr. Vila’s extensive experience and commitment to aesthetic results make him a great candidate for performing this procedure.

What Will My Recovery Process Be Like?

The recovery period after eyelid surgery is relatively minimal compared to other surgical procedures we offer.
Most discomfort occurs in the first day or two and can be easily controlled with pain medication.
If you wear contact lenses, you’ll need to avoid them for one week after surgery.

Swelling and bruising will be present during the first week but should fully resolve within about 10 days.
After 10 days, your full results should be visible, and all swelling will likely have resolved.
You’ll be able to enjoy your new look!
