Eyelid plastic surgery can significantly impact your appearance, helping to reverse the signs of aging that make your eyes look tired and aged. By restoring a youthful eyelid contour, eliminating bags under the eyes, and treating excess skin and droopy eyelids, a person can look more rested, with more vitality and energy.
Deciding to proceed with an operation on the tissues around the eyes is a big step; therefore, choosing an eyelid specialist with ample surgical experience in this delicate area is crucial. Your oculoplastic surgeon will ask to see you in his office before proceeding with any operation.
Why the consultation is important
During the consultation, your surgeon will explore your eyelid surgery needs and determine which procedure is right for you based on a detailed physical examination of the eyelids, eyebrows, and midface. Considering your expectations, he will discuss the procedures and the recovery process with you.
Since not all patients are good candidates for every procedure, your surgeon will present different options based on your age, health status, and the amount of downtime you can allow yourself.
Your doctor will clear up any questions that you may have about your eyelid plastic surgery.
The consultation is also the best time to ask your surgeon questions about the different alternatives to achieve your expectations and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
After the examination, your surgeon will explain:
- The surgical technique recommended in your case.
- Different alternatives that may suit your expectations.
- Type of anesthesia used for your operation.
- The risks associated with the procedure.
- How complications are handled, should any arise.
- The recovery period, including length of recovery, what to expect, and how to care for your incisions.
- What you should expect in terms of outcome. He will show you before and after photos of previous patients.
