Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
| General Information | What to Expect | Before/After Pictures |
As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes can become puffy and wrinkled causing the eyes to appear tired. Eyelid surgery can have dramatic rejuvenating effects simply by removing the excess skin and trimming or repositioning fat around the eyes, restoring a more youthful look. Patients of all ages can benefit from eyelid surgery, especially since many have inherited tendencies that become bothersome early in life. Eyelid surgery may be combined with laser resurfacing, forehead lift and any non-invasive treatment required to produce an optimal result.
Why an eye plastic surgeon?
An Oculoplastic or Eye Plastic surgeon has received subspecialty fellowship training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyes and surrounding areas. Dr. Pacheco is an oculoplastic surgeon who has been practicing exclusively in her area of subspecialty since the completion of training in 1991. On her surgery days, she operates solely on eyelids, brows and their surrounding structures. Her surgical experience is so unique that anyone considering eyelid surgery should benefit.
Dr. Pacheco's philosophy
Cosmetic eyelid surgery should restore the appearance of your eyes from earlier in life. Your eyes will look rested and natural, and close normally, avoiding dry eye symptoms. We ask that you bring a photo of your high school or college graduation, preferably an 8 x 10, to the consultation. Together we arrive at the surgical plan best suited for your goals. Whenever possible, a laser is used to perform the surgery, to minimize or completely avoid scars.
