A procedure frequently performed at a Florida center for cosmetic surgery is a Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.  This procedure helps to reduce the sad, tired look caused by drooping, saggy eyelids, as well as reducing the under-eye bags or puffiness that often occur with the aging process.  Some people also experience vision reduction because of the excess eyelid skin, and this procedure can greatly improve vision in those cases.

An eyelid surgery performed in a Florida center for cosmetic surgery takes about an hour or two.  It is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and the patient can return home the same day, although some opt for an overnight stay.  Small incisions are made in the natural creases of the upper eyelids or inside the lower eyelids to be assured that any scarring will be well-hidden.  Lasers are frequently used to remove the fatty tissue and excess skin.  Lasers can also be used to resurface skin areas under the eyes to help reduce dark circles.

After having a Blepharoplasty at a Florida center for cosmetic surgery, the patient can usually return to work in three to five days.  The recovery period will include some bruising, swelling and eyelid tightness. Some numbness, dryness, or itching may occur.  Be prepared to experience temporary sensitivity to light.  Consulting with your board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to find out all of the risks and benefits of having eyelid surgery.  He will work closely with you to determine your overall health and suitability for having cosmetic surgery performed.  Soon, you will be thrilled at how much younger you look.
