EYELID REJUVENATION (Blepharoplasty)

  This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelid. Blephoroplasty addresses wrinkles, loose skin, and bagginess or puffiness around the upper and lower eyelids. The wrinkles are due to laxity of the skin and the bags are caused by fat deposition. Aging and hereditary factors play a role.

  During the procedure, the loose skin and fat causing the bagginess are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelid. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is placed in the natural crease. For the lower eyelid, the incision is placed at the lash line, or at times just inside the lower eyelid so that no scar is visible on the outside. Both upper and lower eyelids can be done at the same time if desired.

  Depending on the extent of the treatment required, the procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia. The patient can go home the same day and can return to work in one week. Some bruising and swelling can be expected for about one week. The surgery can be performed at St. Joseph’s Health Centre or at a private clinic that specializes in cosmetic surgery.

  Dr. Levine meets with each patient personally for an in-depth consultation at which time the procedure is discussed in detail. The possible complications and postoperative recovery is explained. Dr. Levine makes every attempt to ensure that each patient has realistic expectations and is a good candidate for the surgery. As each patient’s problem is unique, the surgery is customized to achieve the desired result. Alternative procedures are discussed if indicated.

  If you would like to discuss eyelid rejuventation with Dr. Levine, please contact his office for a personal consultation.
