Improve Your Vision
with Eyelid Surgery.
Every year, one hundred thousand men and women choose eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, to either improve their vision or to improve the way they look, or both. Droopy eyelids can impair your vision and can also make you look older, tired and less alert. Blepharoplasty can correct these problems.

How Blepharoplasty Works.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes the excess fat, muscle, and skin from the upper lids and perhaps the lower lids as well. The primary goal of the procedure is to restore your full field of vision – to “raise the curtain” that has been progressively drooping down over the years and gradually blocking more and more of your vision. A secondary goal is to improve your appearance so you don’t look tired, worn-out or sleepy.

What should I expect after surgery?
To promote recovery and healing, cold compresses are recommended, as well as keeping your head elevated when you are laying down. Some pain medication can be prescribed depending on the level of your discomfort.
You can expect some swelling and slight bruising after surgery. However, these things will subside as the surgical area heals. For the first week and a half after your surgery, you will want to gently clean the eye area. Eyedrops can also be prescribed in some cases. Your doctor will tell you which activities and places you should be avoiding during the healing process. In 3 to 5 days, permanent stitches will be removed. If self-absorbing stitches were used, no removal will be required.
At Quigley Eye Specialists, your doctor will check in and schedule follow-up appointment to ensure recovery is going smoothly, leaving you with fully restored vision and a more alert, youthful appearance!
