Eyelid Surgery: What to Know

Lower eyelid “bags” are the most common reason why patients seek eyelid treatment at The Menkes Clinic & Surgery Center. We can correct droopy eyelids safely and effectively through the use of surgical techniques as well as non-surgical techniques that have excellent cosmetic results. As we age, our eyelids often stretch and the supporting muscles weaken. Excess fat may collect in the skin above and below the eyelids, causing sagging of the eyebrows, drooping of the upper lids, and bagginess beneath the eyes. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is an effective procedure that can be performed to repair droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat.

How Does Eyelid Surgery Work?

Blepharoplasty is performed by Dr. Menkes with the assistance of our highly-trained medical staff in our Surgery Suite. The Menkes Clinic & Surgery Center is different in that we use local anesthesia, which allows the patient to remain completely comfortable and relaxed. Also, it allows the body to begin to heal the moment the surgery is complete. Furthermore, it is much safer and lessens bruising and swelling.

What To Expect During Eyelid Surgery

Because blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure, you’ll go home after it’s over. However, you’re not allowed to drive yourself home, so ensure you have a friend or family member who can bring you back.
