BOSTON, MA–(Marketwired – May 27, 2014) – In addition to refractive cataract and LASIK procedures, Dr. Helen R. Moreira, ophthalmologist in Boston, performs a variety of surgical procedures at The Nielsen Eye Center to address cosmetic and functional eye concerns. One procedure in particular has the potential to meet both aesthetic and medical needs: h eyelid lift. Also known as blepharoplasty, Dr. Moreira explains that blepharoplasty has the potential to rejuvenate a patient’s facial appearance, as well as improve their vision if the excess skin falls too low, blocking the line of sight.
In her recent blog post, “Are you a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery?Dr. Moreira discusses what makes an ideal eyelid lift patient. He explains that if a person has noticed that the skin of their upper or lower eyelid begins to sag over time, or if these areas appear loose or swollen, they may find eyelid lift they can significantly improve their concerns. While many people are motivated by the rejuvenating benefits of surgery, Dr. Moreira notes in her recent blog post, “When does blepharoplasty become medically necessary?,” that damaged eyelid skin can also affect his vision, making surgery the best option to restore his vision. Despite the patient’s desire for blepharoplasty, Dr. Moreira emphasizes the importance of good general health and realistic expectations of possible outcomes.
Once the patient is determined to be a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty, Dr. Moreira can proceed with the procedure. During the procedure, he removes excess skin and fat along the upper or lower eyelids, depending on the patient’s unique concerns. The Boston eye doctor says correcting each eye takes about 15 minutes to complete. After blepharoplasty, she advises patients to expect some initial swelling and bruising. However, he notes that these symptoms usually improve within the next few weeks.
Ultimately, Dr. Moreira stresses that anyone looking to undergo eyelid lift surgery should do their research to find a qualified surgeon and then schedule a consultation to learn whether or not the procedure is right for their unique needs. .
