Laser Eyelid Surgery
(Blepharoplasty Surgery)
Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Warren Lent understands the importance of the eyes to our overall appearance. The eyelids frame and highlight the appearance of our eyes, thus making the eyelids an essential component to our facial appearance.
The eyelids are usually the first place signs of the aging process appear. Many people complain that the "bags" under the eyes or the loose and redundant skin of the upper eyelids give them a tired appearance. The "bags" cause the appearance of dark circles under the eyes making one look tired even after a good night's sleep. This problem can even affect young people, as this problem often runs in families. Often small changes, such as eyelid surgery, not only promote a younger appearance but also a more vital one.
There are essentially two major problems that affect the eyelids. One is the buildup of excess fat behind the eyelids, especially in the lower eyelids. This pushes outward on the eyelid causing a bulge or "bag" to develop. Light, which most often comes from above us, will shine on the bulge and cause a shadow to form under the lid.
This gives the appearance of dark circles and the tired-look.Another problem affecting eyelids is wrinkling of the skin.
This is due to a loss of the skin's natural elasticity, which can be as a result of the aging process, sun damage and cigarette smoking. Excess skin can become redundant and hang down, especially on the upper lids, adding to that tired or aged appearance. Excessive drooping of the upper eyelids can even obstruct vision.
Surgical treatment, called laser eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty Surgery, is directed at each of these problems. Dr. Lent has been a pioneer in developing a remarkable method of Blepharoplasty Surgery, which employs the use of the laser.
This ultra skilled approach represents a blend of the highest level of safety with the best aesthetic results. Please take the time to view the four part laser eyelid videos prepared by Dr. Lent to better understand the laser eyelid surgery procedures.
