Eyelid Surgery in Denver, CO
Our Denver eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is intended to produce a more youthful and rested appearance around the eyes. It may also widen visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis at our ambulatory surgery center while under sedation with local or general anesthesia.
If you have excessive, sagging, or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin, you may be a candidate for an eyelid surgery in Denver. An eyelid surgery can also be helpful if you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision, if you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease, or if you have puffy pouches of fat in your upper or lower lids that cause you to look tired or aged.
What Is Recovery From Eyelid Surgery Like?
Initial mild discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Bruising and sensitivity to light can last up to two weeks after eyelid surgery. Most Denver eyelid surgery patients can return to non-strenuous work in 7-10 days. Swelling disappears within two weeks. Eye makeup can be used after sutures are removed.
Brow Lift / Forehead Lift
An eyelid lift is sometimes performed in conjunction with a brow lift, also called a forehead lift. A forehead lift or brow lift is intended to give a more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead and upper eyelids.
You may be a candidate for a forehead lift in Denver if you have a sagging forehead or brows that hang too low and too close to your eyes, or if you have deep vertical furrows (frown lines) between your eyebrows. A brow lift is sometimes performed in conjunction with neck lift.
The brow lift is done on an outpatient basis in our Colorado Plastic Surgery Center under general anesthesia or monitored sedation. Depending on your anatomy, this procedure can often be performed using small incisions that are well hidden within the hairline.
Recovery from brow lift surgery is easily controlled with oral medication. Most swelling and bruising is gone in 7-14 days, and Denver brow lift patients can usually resume light duty work within this timeframe.
Insurance and Financing
Eyelid surgery is typically considered cosmetic, and insurance normally will not pay for eyelid lift surgery. We will be pleased to help you obtain financing for this procedure. We are affiliated with companies that offer financing for cosmetic surgery.
