Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Aesthetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a sophisticated facial procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyelids. This surgical technique addresses loose, droopy skin, repositions fatty deposits, and tightens eyelid structures to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Dr. Timothy Schaefer specializes in customized blepharoplasty procedures tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy. His advanced techniques focus on:

Candidate Evaluation for Eyelid Surgery

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery typically include:

  • Healthy individuals without medical healing complications
  • Non-smokers with realistic aesthetic goals
  • Patients experiencing vision impairment from drooping eyelids
  • Individuals seeking to improve tired or aging appearance

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgical Techniques

Dr. Schaefer employs sophisticated techniques for both upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation, carefully addressing individual patient needs through precise surgical interventions.

Upper Eyelid Procedure

The upper eyelid procedure involves strategically placed incisions within natural eyelid folds to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Schaefer removes excess skin and fat while potentially tightening the upper eyelid muscle for optimal results.

Lower Eyelid Procedure

Lower eyelid surgery utilizes specialized approaches to address sagging and puffiness, often incorporating techniques like fat repositioning and microfat grafting to ensure smooth, natural transitions.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect gradual improvement with minimal bruising and swelling. Most individuals feel comfortable returning to public activities within 10 days, with final results revealing a subtle yet transformative rejuvenation.

We had an outstanding experience with Dr.Schaefer! He has a most excellent skill set. My daughter had a g-tube scar that was indented like a belly button and he made it disappear. She is no longer self conscious of the scar that left a reminder of a traumatic time in her life. Thankyou!

I am six years out from my lower body life after losing 160 pounds and I am super pleased with my surgery. I found Dr. Schaefer and the whole staff to be kind empathetic and caring. My friends can't believe how good the scar looks and I appreciate his work! I recommend him highly.

Dr Schaefer was courteous and professional. I was interviewing multiple surgeons for removal of encapsulated breast implants. I was told when I scheduled the consultation that the initial consultation was free. I was surprised when I then received a bill for $274. I have called billing four times now and spent significantly more time trying to rectify this than at the consult since they don’t believe me when I say I was told the initial consult was free. I am having them pull the taped conversation now and waiting to hear what they will do. I am angry and frustrated and will be using a different surgeon based on the billing issues. I am paying everything out of pocket and surprise bills matter!

I saw some feedback that Dr Schaefer didn't assure them and make them feel comfortable. I'd like to say, doctors are definitely not known for the way they talk but their work!!! Amazing skills, technique, and team!!! I am currently two months post op. I have very little scarring, I healed up so nicely!!! My scars were not jagged, they were super straight and stitched up nicely! I'm so happy I chose you! My surgery turned out so amazing. Thank you so much for listening to my concern and taking everything into consideration! What a life changing surgery! Thank you to your staffs and to you!!!! Tysm!
