Custom Eyelid Surgery from a Leading Plastic Surgeon
The most critical point behind a successful eyelid surgery – an outcome that is youthful, refreshed, and natural in appearance – is the experience and aesthetic eye of your plastic surgeon. Having performed thousands of blepharoplasties, Dr. Fechner is a highly-respected leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and educates others in this field at Harvard University. His experience is truly beyond the ordinary, extending to the field of facial reconstruction. When seeking a highly-skilled plastic surgeon who will customize your treatment, we invite you to find out more about Dr. Fechner and his reputation as an authority in facial cosmetic surgery.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Drooping eyelids represent an unfortunate sign of aging. The eye area is constantly exposed to the cold, heat, and wind, and other environmental factors. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest of our body and it loses the elastic, supple quality as the years pass, causing the upper eyelid skin to sag, with deep creases, lines, and hooding occurring. Dr. Fechner performs arguably the best eyelid lift has to offer, which addresses these issues.
Dr. Fechner will also pay close attention to your eyebrow shape and position, as it will have a direct influence on the upper lids. Upper eyelid surgery, when performed correctly, restores a youthful, fresh, natural look – not a wide-eyed, startled expression associated with a poorly performed surgery that removed too much skin and tissue. Dr. Fechner is a highly skilled plastic surgeon who is committed to helping his patients look younger and more vital – with a very natural appearance that inspires compliments.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Over time, the under-eye zone can become baggy and puffy as skin and tissue ages, leaving you looking worn and tired. In addition, the puffiness is commonly combined with hollowness underneath, a condition also known as tear trough deformity. When shadows are cast into these deep depressions, dark circles are observed. For some patients, this aesthetic problem is passed down from earlier generations. If you are tired of looking tired and seeing unsightly under-eye bags when you look in the mirror, it can be resolved with lower eyelid surgery. This is a delicate surgical procedure requiring high-level skills. Any error in the quantity of skin and tissue removed can not only lead to disappointing aesthetic outcomes but may require reconstructive surgery for correction. It is imperative that the procedure is performed with great delicacy. Dr. Fechner is recognized for his surgical excellence in a range of facial procedures, including lower eyelid surgery. He stresses the importance of minimizing the removal of fat; rather, he routinely utilizes advanced techniques where the fat from the bags is utilized as a natural filler to soften the tear through depressions.
Should I Get An Eyelid Lift?
The eyes represent the most prominent facial feature. Often called the “window to one’s soul,” a first impression will be influenced by the appearance of your eyes. It is the eyes themselves, the eyelids and their lashes, the brows, and the animation of the eye region that reveals your emotions and personality.
Family traits, such as age, as well as harmful sun exposure, all contribute to the loss of elasticity of the skin and tissue on eyelids and in the under-eye area. These changes lead to wrinkles, puffiness, bags, or heavy “festoons” of skin, often coupled with dark circles. These issues can leave even a younger person with an aged, tired, or angry appearance.
About Blepharoplasty
Originating from the Greek word “blepharon,” which means eyelid, blepharoplasty or eyelid lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance your eyelids and bring a more youthful, bright, and awake appearance. During our cosmetic blepharoplasty, precise amounts of fat and skin are modified and removed for improved eyelid symmetry and definition and to restore a fresh, youthful look to eyelids that started to droop and started to look puffy. The goal of a well-performed blepharoplasty is a natural look.
The cosmetic eyelid may address the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both, along with the tightening of involved muscle structures.
Your Consultation
After his careful examination in the office, Dr. Fechner will decide which surgical technique for an eyelid lift procedure will be most appropriate. Our blepharoplasty in Worcester and Middlesex Counties is one of Dr. Fechner’s favorite procedures because this delicate surgery if planned appropriately and performed skillfully, can lead to dramatic enhancement of your other facial features with a relatively quick and easy recovery.
Dr. Fechner’s patients usually plan for a good week of recovery after an eyelid lift, and a blepharoplasty is safely performed in an outpatient setting.
Advanced Techniques
In some patients, Dr. Fechner applies advanced blepharoplasty techniques, where the lower eyelid fat is not removed but repositioned to fill the under-eye depression that is responsible for a hollow appearance and unsightly dark eye circles. Dr. Fechner will speak with you about the most effective method to improve your appearance and whether a fat repositioning technique is appropriate in your case.
Appearance After Blepharoplasty
The improvement achieved by cosmetic eyelid surgery is often significant and will last for many years if not decades. Most patients describe that observers are aware of the improved look but are unable to determine what exactly is different about you – the perfect response. Although the aging process cannot be halted, after this surgery, you will have a far lower chance of experiencing puffy fat pockets and excess skin as the years pass. Although secondary procedures are possible to maintain the benefits, they are rarely needed. By correcting the problem areas around the eyes, you will achieve a more youthful, alert, and rested appearance with a cosmetic eyelid lift.
Eye Rejuvenation in Worcester and Middlesex Counties
Blepharoplasty is one of the most successful procedures for rejuvenating the area around the eyes and enhancing your youthful glow. The recovery time for eyelid lift surgery is approximately one week to 10 days and eyelid surgery can be safely performed in an outpatient setting. The surgery is performed in Worcester and patients frequently come to our luxurious, discreet, plastic surgery clinic from the Boston-area, throughout Massachusetts and beyond.
