Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Lifts, tightens and rejuvenates the upper eyelid through an incision along the natural eyelid crease; can improve impaired vision from sagging upper lids (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Addresses puffy under-eye bags; the page states Dr. Lichten also performs lower eyelid surgery using transconjunctival blepharoplasty, with incisions entirely concealed inside the lower lid. Eyelid surgery takes 1 to 3 hours depending on extent, and can be combined with facelift or BOTOX.
- Brow lift. Performed as a traditional brow lift (incisions in the scalp/hairline) or an endoscopic brow lift; can be combined with a facelift (browlift).
Recovery: swelling and bruising typically subside over the first few days; patients are comfortable returning to work around 10 days; full recovery and final results take about two months.
Gallery: the blepharoplasty before-and-after gallery page shows multiple real patient cases with before/after image sequences (source).
