The Austin Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery serving Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC provides board certified cosmetic surgeons who perform lower eyelid surgery, which is enhanced when combined with a mid-facelift.

Do people ask you if you are tired or angry? You may not feel that way, but if you look in the mirror you can see that your droopy eyelids and those bags under your eyes make you look tired and older than you really feel. Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a popular procedure for improving the overall look of your eyes and is recommended for healthy adults of any age.

Cosmetic Eye Procedures:

Incisions are typically made in the creases of your upper eyelids and just below the lashes in your lower eyelids making scars virtually invisible. After the underlying fat is repositioned and excess skin is removed, the incisions are closed with fine sutures designed to leave nearly invisible scars. In a Transconjuctival blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes the incision inside the lower eyelid. No skin is removed and the incision is hidden. Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery usually takes between one to three hours as an outpatient procedure under general or "twilight" anesthesia.

Eyelid and Eye Lift Surgery Recovery:

Stitches are removed in about one week and you can return to work in five to seven days. Strenuous activities can be resumed in about three weeks. Scarring is usually minimal after three weeks and almost undetectable in six months.

In addition to eyelid surgery, fine lines and light wrinkles can be corrected from around your eyes with the CO2 laser facelift procedure. This procedure can be performed as an outpatient with a local or general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours.

Consult one of the board certified plastic surgeons at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery to determine the best cosmetic eye procedure for you.
