11 Apr Beautify Your Soul’s Windows
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but sometimes your upper eyelids can become droopy and affect your looks and vision. Luckily, Oasis Eye Face and Skin specializes in upper eyelid surgery, and board-certified oculofacial surgeon Dr. Vivian Schiedler brings over a decade of expertise to the table. She has performed this surgery countless times and will walk you through the process so that there are no surprises.
How Eyes Change Over Time
Upper eyelids can begin to droop from a relatively young age. If treated early, alternatives such as broadband light therapy can help reduce sag and minimize lines and wrinkles. However, patients may get to the point in which upper eyelid sag becomes so severe that surgery is the best option.
The problems with the upper eyelid may start when the body decreases its production of collagen and elastin, which happens naturally as we age. Every person experiences this loss differently, and to different degrees. Each person also has a unique eyelid shape. Some people are just more prone to droopy eyelids than others. It’s partly genetic and partly the history of sun damage, squinting, and one’s lifestyle.
Treatments for Upper and Lower Eyes
At Oasis Eye Face and Skin, only procedures that will give you the results you want are recommended. We pride ourselves in listening to the patient’s goals and making a plan that will achieve realistic results. A holistic approach is always taken, and conservative measures such as laser treatments are often the first step. However, for those with excessive sagging or who want immediate results, upper eyelid surgery may be the best approach.
Surprisingly, there is very little downtime with upper eyelid surgery. This skin heals very quickly, and scarring is minimal, often hidden inside the eyelid natural folds. There is virtually no risk of damaging the eyes with this surgery, especially when a specialist surgeon like Dr. Schiedler is treating you.
