Eyelid Surgery

Upper and lower eyelid surgery can give you a refreshed, more alert appearance.

Eyelid surgery can reshape and reposition the upper or lower eyelids to correct drooping or heavy eyelids, remove bags from below the eyes, and rejuvenate the overall appearance of your face. Whether you have experienced changes to your eyelids due to aging or you want to remove excess fullness you were born with, eyelid surgery can improve the overall appearance of your face.

If you were born with heavy upper eyelids, or they have sagged as you aged, an upper eyelid lift can reposition and lift your eyelids. For men and women who have bags under their eyes, lower eyelid surgery can help improve their appearance. Eyelid surgery is an effective way of refreshing and softening your facial appearance. Surgical Solutions Network offers private upper and lower eyelid surgery in Canada for men and women from Toronto, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; Vancouver, British Columbia; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Laval, Quebec; and throughout the country who want to reverse the signs of aging or heaviness in their eyelids.

Eyelid Surgery Results

Upper eyelid surgery will reshape and reposition the eyelid, removing excess tissue, giving your eyes a more open appearance. If you have experienced eyelid sagging due to aging, you will notice tighter skin with fewer lines, and your vision may be improved if it was affected by sagging skin. The overall improvement will give you a more rested, youthful appearance.

Lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin and pockets of fat under the eyes that cause bags and sagging skin. After surgery, you will have lifted, tighter skin with subtle improvement to the undereye area that helps you appear more awake and refreshed.

What to Expect with Eyelid Surgery

During an upper eyelid procedure, the incision is made in the crease of the eyelid, and excess skin is removed to reduce sagging or fullness. During a lower eyelid procedure, the incisions are mode below the eye and a small amount of tissue and skin are removed to tighten and lift the skin.  These procedures each take one to two hours under general or local anesthesia. You are able to return home the same day.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

Bruising and swelling around the eyes may be experienced for several days but is easily controlled with medication. Sutures are removed about a week after surgery and any swelling will diminish within one to three weeks.

Patients can resume normal activities within seven to ten days. However, we recommend avoiding any exercise, lifting, bending over or straining for at least two weeks.
