Upper Eyelid Surgery in Portland

As we get older, it’s fairly common to notice the signs of aging start to appear in various areas of the face, and the eyelids are no exception. Sometimes things like sun exposure can speed the process along, but it’s perfectly normal for the body to produce less and less of compounds like collagen and elastin, which work to keep our skin looking healthy and youthful. This can cause the skin to sag, droop, and develop wrinkles.

Luckily, upper eyelid surgery with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vila can reduce the appearance of these issues, restoring your youthful and alert look and allowing you to make an amazing first impression, every single time. If you think this sounds like the right procedure for you, reach out and set up your consultation with Dr. Vila today!

Is Upper Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

During your consultation, Dr. Vila will learn all about your issues and goals, and will work with you to talk through all of your potential options. He’ll help you figure out exactly what procedure is the one for you, when it comes to creating your ideal results and resolving any functional impairments, in equal measure.

If you’re in Portland or the nearby areas, and you’re dealing with any of the following issues, you’re likely a great candidate for upper eyelid surgery:

Sagging, drooping eyelids
Excess skin
Fatty deposits
Impaired vision
Tired appearance
Cranky look

What’s the Procedure Like?

Correcting only the upper eyelids is a procedure that generally takes between two and four hours, depending on the extent of your treatment. Dr. Vila will utilize local anesthesia, and will talk you through all the details, like incision placement and so forth, before the day arrives.

In most cases, the incision will be made along the upper crease of your eyelids, making it nicely hidden once it’s fully healed. This will allow Dr. Vila to remove extra fat, reposition tissue, and generally create your ideal results.

As he completes the procedure, he’ll pull underlying tissues and musculature taut before carefully closing up any incisions. You’ll rest for a bit in our recovery area before being able to return home the very same day!
