If you are concerned about aging eyelids with excess skin or excess fat, you may be a candidate for blepharoplasty. Some of the most common issues resolved include:

  • Heavy, tired upper eyelids caused by aging skin or excess fat
  • Excess skin in the lower eyelid with wrinkles, bags, and dark circles
  • Malposition and protrusion of fat that can create contour irregularities, a bulge in the lower eyelid, or under-eye hollows (tear trough deformity)

What is recovery like after eyelid surgery?

Recovery can vary, depending on what your surgery entailed. Upper eyelid surgery will involve some minor swelling and bruising that mainly resolves within the first week. There may be mild residual swelling that can take longer to resolve but generally does not preclude returning to work or social events. Swelling and bruising may be slightly increased with lower eyelid surgery, particularly if the fat is manipulated. Placing an ice pack at intervals is helpful in reducing swelling. Sutures are removed one week after eyelid surgery in Lincoln.

Eyelid Surgery FAQ

What is the importance of a consultation with Dr. Harbison?

It is essential to have a thorough consultation before your eyelid surgery in Omaha, as there can be many underlying issues that, if not identified, may result in limited benefit or possible complications. Some examples of such issues include laxity of the lower lid tarsus (connective tissue), upper eyelid blepharoptosis (dysfunction of the upper eyelid elevators), and the presence of eyebrow ptosis (drooping). Also, a variety of aging changes can occur, and it is critical that your surgery is performed by an experienced, highly trained facial plastic surgeon.

At what age is eyelid surgery performed?

When the skin on the eyelids has become unsightly or bothersome, we can perform a custom eyelid surgery. Sagging eyelid skin can appear as early as during the 40s, unique to the individual genetic background of the person.
