Blepharoplasty Questions

    CHICAGO, IL, March 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Blepharoplasty, or eyelift, is rapidly gaining popularity as older individuals and people who naturally have more sagging skin around the eyes are discovering what great benefits it can provide. As with all plastic surgeries, people considering blepharoplasty have a lot of questions about the procedure before they schedule their eyelift appointment.

Some of the most common questions asked about blepharoplasty include:

Is blepharoplasty painful?
Blepharoplasty is a facial plastic surgery procedure and during the surgery incisions are made in the skin. As a result, there is some discomfort associated with the healing process. Fortunately, experienced plastic surgeons take every step to make sure you feel no discomfort during the procedure and so that there is as little pain as possible afterward.

How is blepharoplasty performed?
Blepharoplasty begins by making incisions in the natural creases of the upper and lower eyelids. Through these incisions excess fat and tissue is removed. For older individuals with a lot of sagging skin, excess skin may also be removed. Once the excess tissue is taken away, the incisions are closed and patients can enjoy their younger, more alert appearing eyelids.

Can blepharoplasty be performed in conjunction with any other procedures?
Yes. Blepharoplasty can be performed with any number of different procedures, including lip lifts, browlifts, and facelifts. For some patients, it may be suggested that their procedures be performed one after the other simply because they might be more prone to suffering risks or side effects from multiple procedures.

Is blepharoplasty expensive?
The cost of a blepharoplasty procedure varies from patient to patient and doctor to doctor. Since there are variations in the price of this procedure, it's difficult to tell exactly how much your blepharoplasty procedure will cost. The best thing you can do find out about the cost of your eyelift procedure is contact a plastic surgeon near you to schedule an initial consultation.

Is blepharoplasty just for old people?
No. There are thousands of people in their twenties and thirties suffering from sagging skin above and below their eyes simply because they inherited this trait from their family. Sagging skin around the eyes can make you look older or more tired when you aren't. If you're in your twenties or thirties and are unsatisfied with the appearance of your eyes, schedule an initial consultation with a local plastic surgeon to learn more about your eyelift options.

No matter what kind of facial procedure you're considering, if you want to get the younger, healthier appearance you used to have, please visit the website of Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. Otto J. Placik to schedule your initial blepharoplasty consultation.
