Learn More About eyelid lifts

The eyes are a unique component of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes an abundance of lax skin around the eyes can create an aging appearance. Oculo Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Shoib Myint uses eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) to lift and tighten the lower or upper eyelids, creating a younger-looking and more awake profile. 

Countless men and women have undergone this procedure to remove sagging skin above their eyes or to reduce puffy bulges below their eyes, leading to improved functionality and a youthful aesthetic. Whether upper or lower, eyelid surgery helps create a fresh, rejuvenated appearance and can give you subtle yet striking results. 

If you want to learn more about refreshing your look with blepharoplasty surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Myint at Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV.

Patients who undergo an eyelid lift at Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV experience numerous benefits that improve their appearance and boost their confidence. An eyelid lift with Dr. Myint can provide benefits such as:

  • Improved vision with an expanded line of sight
  • Reduced sagging skin on eyelids
  • A more alert, refreshed, and rested appearance
  • Fewer under-eye bags and dark circles
  • Decreased skin irritation caused by rubbing folds
  • An overall more youthful look

Depending on the type and complex nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be administered. This surgery may be done on the top eyelid by itself, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both eyelids.

Upper

Upper blepharoplasty assists in reducing the folds of skin that droop over the eye to produce a more flattering look. The incision point is often placed along the natural crease to remove loose skin and fatty tissue.

Lower

Lower blepharoplasty is performed to improve puffy skin underneath the lower lid. The incision is placed below the lash line to allow access to remove tissue and fat, and the skin is delicately lifted to allow for a softer, flatter look.

Transconjunctival “No Visible Scar”  Lower Eyelid Lift

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty, also known as a no visible scar lower eyelid lift is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions fat from under the eyes by making an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, resulting in no visible external scar on the skin.

In most cases, an upper blepharoplasty (or upper eyelid lift) is the most effective way to address drooping lids. By cutting away excess skin and tightening the remaining tissues, Dr. Myint can create a more clear-eyed, alert appearance.

Depending on the nature of the eyelid surgery at Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. An eyelid lift may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both treatments.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid lift surgery assists in diminishing the loose skin that droops over the eye to create a more flattering look. The incision point is often placed along the lid crease to remove skin and tissue.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid lift surgery is performed to improve puffy skin under the lower eyelid. In most cases, an incision is made along the lash line to remove tissue and fat surgically, and the skin is delicately lifted to produce a flatter, smoother look. 

Sometimes, nonsurgical laser treatment can be incorporated to help with discoloration, while injectable fillers can be used for more volume and smoothness if desired.

An eyelid lift can be done in as little as 45 minutes or as long as three hours. The time that your surgery takes will depend on which eyelid is being treated (upper, lower, or both) and how much tissue needs to be removed or repositioned. Dr. Myint will let you know what to expect, including the length of your treatment, after building your surgery plan.

An eyelid lift is considered to be one of the least painful cosmetic surgical procedures and requires only local anesthesia. While you may notice a slight sting as the anesthesia is injected, most patients report little to no discomfort during their surgery. After your procedure, you can expect some soreness or bruising, but this will fade as you heal.

While an eyelid lift can deliver long-lasting improvements for your eyes and overall appearance, age and gravity can affect your results over time. For most patients, an upper eyelid lift will last for 5 – 7 years, though some individuals enjoy their new look for 10 years or longer. Lower blepharoplasty, which focuses on removing fat from under the eyes, offers lifetime improvements for most people.

Upper and lower blepharoplasty are facial cosmetic enhancements sought out by both men and women. During your private consultation, Dr. Myint will explain treatment options based on your areas of concern and goals. 

In most cases, ideal candidates suffer from excess, hanging skin and folds above their eyes or bloated skin just below their bottom eyelids. These conditions sometimes cause functional and visual impairments that can hinder everyday life, making simple tasks difficult to perform. 
For a rejuvenated look, eyelid surgery may be the appropriate procedure for you. If you have loose skin that droops on your upper eyelid or bulging bags under your eyes, blepharoplasty can help to correct this and give you a younger appearance.

When it comes to eyelid lifts, the amount of sagging or excess skin is more relevant than age. Many individuals start noticing sagging and signs of aging in their 30s, though they might be younger or older. During your consultation, Dr. Myint will perform a comprehensive assessment and help you decide if an eyelid lift is right for you.

The average cost for an eyelift lift typically falls between $4,000 – $7,000, but this can vary based on the amount of excess skin, the approach Dr. Myint takes for your procedure, and other factors. During your consultation, we’ll build a personalized treatment plan and come up with a price estimate, which will include facility costs and anesthesia.

Blepharoplasty might be covered by some insurance providers, depending on the concerns treated.

After your procedure, you should plan to rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least several days. You can expect to experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, but this is normal and can typically be eased with a cold compress or pain medication.
