Eyelid Surgery in Denver, CO
Our Denver eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is intended to produce a more youthful and rested appearance around the eyes. It may also widen visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis at our ambulatory surgery center while under sedation with local or general anesthesia.
If you have excessive, sagging, or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin, you may be a candidate for an eyelid surgery in Denver. An eyelid surgery can also be helpful if you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision if you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease, or if you have puffy pouches of fat in your upper or lower lids that cause you to look tired or aged.
What Is Recovery From Eyelid Surgery Like?
Initial mild discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Bruising and sensitivity to light can last up to two weeks after eyelid surgery. Most Denver eyelid surgery patients can return to non-strenuous work in 7-10 days. Swelling disappears within two weeks. Eye makeup can be used after sutures are removed.
