Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Peninsula Plastic Surgery offers state-of-the-art upper eyelid surgery techniques designed to provide patients with a natural-looking, rejuvenated appearance. The surgical approach strategically places incisions within the natural creases of the eye, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

Goals of an Eyelid Lift

• Achieve a more youthful and rested eye appearance

Comprehensive Surgical Approach in Salisbury, MD

Dr. Pellegrino and his experienced surgical team provide a meticulous, patient-centered approach to eyelid lift procedures. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without IV sedation, ensuring patient comfort and optimal results.

Surgical Procedure Details

During the procedure, surgeons carefully remove excess skin and bulging fat through strategically placed incisions within the natural eyelid creases. Fine nylon sutures are used to close the incisions, promoting minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Recovery and Healing

Patients can expect to return home the same day with supportive dressings. Initial discomfort is easily managed with oral pain medication. Swelling and bruising typically subside within 2-3 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within two weeks.

What to Expect

• Initial consultation to discuss individual goals
• Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation
• Precise surgical technique
• Personalized post-operative care

Recovery Timeline

Most patients experience significant improvement in eye appearance within 2-3 weeks. Sutures are either absorbable or removed during follow-up visits. Multiple post-operative check-ups ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Insurance and Financial Considerations

Cosmetic eyelid lift procedures are typically not covered by insurance. However, if the surgery is performed to improve vision, insurance might provide coverage. Peninsula Plastic Surgery offers transparent pricing and comprehensive consultations.
