Eyelid Surgery

People may appear angry, older, or sad because of old and tired looking eyes. However, you can treat these effects of aging around the eyes with blepharoplasty plastic surgery. Blepharoplasty can be performed on both upper and lower eyelids.

It can help improve the aesthetic and functional aspects of the eyes. Patients, at times, may require both types of surgery together. Eyelid surgery can be used for correcting partial vision obstruction as well. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides eyelid surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

These are a few benefits of the eyelid lift cosmetic surgery procedure:

• Eliminated puffiness in the upper eyelid by removing fat pockets around the eyes
• Removes folds, sagging skin, and lines from the lower eyelids
• Treat drooping upper lids that may cause vision obstruction
• Address bags under the eyes
• Treat visible white under the iris that may occur because of drooping lower lids

Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure

Aging along with other factors can result in the eyelid muscles becoming loose. It can cause the lid tissues to stretch and sag because of loss of elasticity. Upper eyelids may also appear droopy and wrinkles making you look older.

In such situations, the eyelid lift plastic surgery procedure can be helpful. It can address these concerns for restoring a rested and youthful looking eye appearance. Certain patients suffer from severely droopy upper eyelids called ptosis. This can also result in aging lines over the upper lids.

Your eyes may appear partially closed because of droopy upper eyelids even when you are awake. Ptosis can cause this distortion in eye appearance. Upper blepharoplasty has shown successful results in treating these conditions.

An incision will be made by your surgeon on the natural contours of the eyelid. This will be made in a discreet location. The incision will be used for eliminating loose upper eyelid skin. Subsequently, fine sutures will be used for sealing the incisions.

Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

Your eyelids can appear tired and puffy because of weakened muscles and loose tissues. The lid skin may appear rough and wrinkled as well. This condition can be improved by lower eyelid surgery. Your surgeon will place a small incision within the lid or on the skin to remove surplus skin. This will also help in reducing the puffy under eye bags.

The incisions will be placed just underneath the lid margin for hiding any future scarring. Underlying weak muscles will be tightened using these incisions. Youthful looking eyes can be produced by removing and redistributing excess fatty pockets in the area.

Recovery Following Eyelid Surgery

You would be asked to use ice therapy following the procedure for the first 48 hours. This will help the inflammation subside and make you feel at ease. Most patients can successfully resume their routine after a week of recovery.

Make sure you protect your eyes from direct sun exposure for a few months. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon receives patients from Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and nearby areas for eyelid surgery.

Liposuction Surgery 

Liposuction plastic surgery involves a long recovery process and a downtime of 7 – 10 days. Your surgeon during the pre-op consultation will discuss various aspects of the surgery, including estimated recovery time. You should make sure to follow the surgeon’s recovery instructions diligently. This will shorten your overall recovery period and minimize your risk of post-op complications.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides liposuction to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Recovery in the First One Week

The recovery process following liposuction procedure may last for a few days. The treated site and type of technique used for liposuction determine the recovery period. It is recommended that you wear compression garments for the first few weeks following your liposuction procedure to improve your recovery. Most patients feel well enough to remove the compression garment after a few weeks.

Many patients feel discomfort and pain following their surgery. This is usually mild and can be taken care of by moderate walking inside the home to promote blood flow and pain meds. Most patients are able to walk around normally within a week of their liposuction surgery. They even return to work with minimal discomfort. Patients should consider taking showers instead of baths for the first few days following their liposuction procedure. Bruising, inflammation, and numbness recede during this phase.

You should expect drainage following tumescent liposuction from the incision site. This drainage is the anesthetic solution and quite normal. It decreases recovery time and enhances healing.

Recovery During the First Few Weeks

Inflammation following the liposuction procedure will take a few weeks to subside. The outcome of the procedure will become more apparent once it settles. Recovery time tends to be more extensive if the treatment area is large.

Skin around the treated site may also appear loose, which will eventually become tauter. It may take about 6 months for the skin to become normal. This depends on the skin elasticity. It’s critical for liposuction patients to check their incisions for infection. They should also attend all post-operative consultations with their surgeons to determine if the healing is happening the way it should.

At times, excessive inflammation can indicate side effects and other risks. This makes it necessary for patients to speak with their surgeon and ensure a smooth and predictable healing.

Exercise Following the Liposuction Procedure

You should ask the surgeon for individual and precise instructions following the liposuction surgery. Many plastic surgeons don’t advise strenuous exercises following the procedure. You may be asked to perform gentle exercises to prevent blood clots from forming in the legs. You should think about increasing the intensity of your exercise after 2 weeks following the liposuction surgery.

Results of Liposuction Surgery

Complete results of the liposuction surgery will become apparent within a few months following the surgery. You will notice certain results immediately. Liposuction can remove about 10 pounds of fat from the body, resulting in pleasing body contours. However, you should understand the surgery is designed to enhance your body’s shape and not lose weight.
