Oklahoma Eye Center - Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty (repair of droopy and baggy eyelids.)

Your eyes are one of the first features people notice. Unfortunately, they are also one of the first to show signs of aging. Over time, your eyelids may thin and lose elasticity, causing them to sag. On the other hand, protruding fat from your eye sockets cause bags - often the result of aging, but sometimes an inherited trait that shows up early in life. These changes can make you look tired or sad, when you are feeling something else altogether. At first, this sad tired look may be more noticeable in the morning, and then persist throughout the day, prompting words of concern from friends or family. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, blepharoplasty can correct a condition in which sagging skin obscures vision.

Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed utilizing several techniques. Dr. Fisher uses the most advanced technique, utilizing high freqeuncy radio waves to gently remove excess skin and fatty tissues around the eyes. This gentle procedure minimizes swelling and bruising. Most blepharoplasty surgeries are performed as an outpatient procedure in our office surgical suite.

Your eyes are your most expressive feature. Blepharoplasty can have dramatic effect by restoring a younger, more rested appearance to your face. After blepharoplasty, your eyes can express the energy and self-confidence you are truly feeling.
