This surgery addresses under eye bags, excess sagging skin, puffiness, fine lines and obscured vision. During this procedure, Dr. Linville will make a small incision to correct the languid upper eyelid. This will eliminate any slight cosmetic damage caused by aging, sun exposure and trauma. He will then rectify any issues of puffiness and wrinkles in the lower eyelid by carefully removing excess fat and skin to reveal a more refreshed look. At Linville Plastic Surgery, Dr. Linville also performs the upper and lower eyelid procedures separately for those patients who may need to pinpoint one specific area of the eye.
During the initial appointment, Dr. Linville will take the time to create an open discussion with the patient to identify the areas their problem areas. Once the ideal goal is established through this collaborative effort, he will evaluate the upper and lower eyelid to further assess the areas of concern and explain what areas he will correct during the procedure. He will also discuss all preoperative instructions, procedural details, any necessary medications and recovery timeline.
After surgery, patients may experience slight swelling, discomfort and bruising. Medications and ointments may be prescribed by Dr. Linville to ease the recovery process. There will be a postoperative appointment after surgery for Dr. Linville to evaluate the healing process and answer any questions the patient may have. He is dedicated to being a reliable resource for his patients from the consultation to the recovery. Cold compresses should be applied periodically to the eyes to reduce swelling and provide relief. Two weeks after the surgery, patients will be able to return to work and all other normal activities.
