Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery - Spinak Medical Center

Why should Spinak Medical Center be my choice for cosmetic eyelid surgery?
The board certified ophthalmologists of the Spinak Medical Center are highly experienced in performing delicate eye operations. They will use the same care and precision in performing your cosmetic eyelid surgery.

What results can I expect?
Successful cosmetic eyelid surgery can return a natural vitality and alertness to the appearance of your eyes. However, it is not a miracle cure. Your age, skin tone, and general health will have an impact on the results. A consultation with the doctors at Spinak Medical Center will help you to understand what you can anticipate from your surgery.

What does a cosmetic eyelid surgery procedure involve?
Excess skin and fatty tissue is removed through an incision hidden in the natural folds of the upper eyelid and an incision hidden in the lash line of the lower lid.

Is the procedure safe?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is considered very safe. Typically, it is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthetic. There will be some swelling, bruising and minor discomfort, but it is temporary. Stitches are removed in 7-10 days and cosmetics can be applied at that time. Generally, bruising will have disappeared in about two weeks.

Can cosmetic eyelid surgery do anything about crow’s feet?
Crow's feet are wrinkles around the eye caused by a loss of elasticity in the skin. They are difficult to erase entirely. However, cosmetic eyelid surgery can create an overall improved appearance of the entire eye area.
