Blepharoplasty Philadelphia - Eyelid Lift Blepharoplasty, or more commonly referred to as cosmetic eyelid surgery, is an elective surgical procedure used to remove wrinkles, excess fat and skin from around the upper and/or lower eyelids. Patients who undergo Blepharoplasty with Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon Dr. Robert J. Mirabile typically complain of excess wrinkles, puffiness around the eyes, “bags” under the eyes and droopy eyelids. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places so that scarring is minimal and results are immediate. Patients who undergo blepharoplasty surgery typically enjoy results that are long-lasting and have the over all effect of looking younger and more alert. Is it Right for Me? Blepharoplasty can be performed on fully developed men and women who have healthy facial musculature and whose expectations of the surgery are realistic. As with any cosmetic enhancement surgery, you should first consider your motivations for surgery to be sure that you’re choosing surgery for yourself and not to fulfill someone else’s’ desires or expectations of you or your body. It is a very personal matter and any decision for surgery should come after careful consideration of all the facts and emotions involved. View Blepharoplasty Photos Cosmetic Eye Surgery is Good for Those Who: * Are physically healthy and free from any life-threatening illness or disease * Don’t smoke * Have realistic expectations and motivations for surgery * Have healthy eyes Medical conditions that require consideration before eyelid surgery: * Glaucoma, retinal detachment, dry eye * Thyroid conditions * Heart disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular complications What To Expect During Your Consultation In order to create the best possible results from your eyelid surgery is important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how the eyelid surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation: * General medical history, including the results of laboratory work and past surgeries * A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take * Any use of tobacco or other drugs * What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations? At the consultation, your surgeon will also: * Evaluate your current health * Evaluate the extent of corrective surgery needed to achieve the results desired * Photographically document the eye area * Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment * Disclose the risk of common complications associated with eyelid surgery and the use of anesthesia * Cover what to do the day of surgery * Cover post-operative care and recovery
