    and to learn more about our eyelid lift services.

Your eyes are often the first feature that other people notice, which is why so many people want to keep their eyes looking as youthful and full of life as possible. Unfortunately, aging or genetics often causes the skin around the eyes to droop down and hang over the eyelashes. This can make the eye area look puffy and make you look older than you actually are.

Lower eyelids may also start to develop bags and sag, which can give off the impression that you are tired or angry. Fortunately, there is a way to fix this common problem with an operation known as blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift. Contact Wellesley Cosmetic Surgery today to determine if you are a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery.

What Is An Eyelid Lift?

An eyelid lift is a procedure used to treat drooping upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids. Patients who undergo this procedure will be left with a younger looking eye area that looks brighter and more awake.

It’s important to note that an eyelid lift is not used to treat crow’s feet or other fine lines that may appear around the eyes. Consult with a plastic surgeon to determine which treatment should be used to address this issue.

How Is An Eyelid Lift Procedure Performed?

Prior to the surgery, a plastic surgeon will meet with you to discuss your goals for the procedure. During this appointment, the surgeon may go over how much tissue they want to remove and how they will ensure both eyes are symmetrical once he is done.

The actual eyelid lift procedure will begin with the cosmetic surgeon making incisions within the fold of the upper eyelid. If work is being performed on the lower lids, the incision is typically placed inside the lower eyelid, or less often, underneath the lower lash line. Then, certain instruments such as scalpels, cutting lasers, and radiofrequency cutting devices will be used to remove excess tissue in the eyelids.

Sutures will then be applied to close the incision in the upper lid. They will be removed in a week. Lower lids often do not need sutures.

How Long Does An Eyelid Lift Last?

The price of an eyelid lift can vary significantly, which is why it’s important to talk to your doctor prior to the surgery. Make sure you understand how much you will owe and when you are expected to pay it.

Our plastic surgery practice offers financing plans so that patients can make small, affordable payments instead of paying their entire bill upfront. Contact our office today if you are interested in learning more about these financing options.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From An Eyelid Lift?

Recovery times may vary from patient to patient. In the days following the surgery, it’s normal to experience puffiness, swelling, bruising and numbness around the eyes. The puffiness and numbness may fade, but the swelling and bruising will typically remain for about a week.

Stitches are typically removed up to seven days after surgery. If you have any pain, your plastic surgeon may suggest applying ice packs to the affected area.

Certain exercises such as swimming and running should be avoided for about two weeks after the surgery. You should also avoid lifting heavy objects or bending over since both of these activities increase the blood pressure in your head.

Most patients will make a full recovery within just a few weeks. Do not return to work or resume normal activities unless your doctor has cleared you to do so.

    Everyone is super nice here and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Shektman did my second breast augmentation and he did a wonderful job. I had scar tissue in one that he was able to remove and I went larger. Highly recommend them!

    After seeing 3 other surgeons I decided to go with Dr Shektman at Wellesley Cosmetic Surgery because of his warm & approachable manner. I was quite nervous about getting a mini face lift & neck lift since I never had cosmetic surgery. I am so glad I choose him. He understood my concerns of wanting a natural look & he followed through completely. Everyone who has seen me has stated that they can’t really tell anything was done except for the fact that my face and neck look really good. That is exactly what I wanted: to look natural & “refreshed”. I highly recommend him. You will get the results you’re looking for & he will make you feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He’s a skilled surgeon & a very kind person. Also, he has a dedicated staff who are very knowledgeable & attentive to your concerns. You really can’t go wrong if you choose Dr Shektman for your surgeon.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Shektman's at Wellesley Cosmetic Surgery for a number of years now. He first did a tummy tuck on me about 5 or 6 years ago. It really changed the way I saw myself and gave a great boost to my self confidence. Then, about six months ago I had him do my face and neck lift. Again, the results were excellent and I feel like my younger self. He also has a wonderful team that has been with him many years. Thank you all.

    My experience with Dr Shektman is always positive as he is so kind and gentle. I felt well taken care of for all three of the surgical procedures Ive had done. This summer, being a 42 year old mom running after a toddler on the beach, I’ve never felt so beautiful and confident in my own skin. My body is now curvy and sculpted in the right places, something years of diet and exercise could never achieve. Thanks, Dr Shektman!

    I absolutely love everything about Dr. Shektman and his staff but I love my face even more! I could have never expected such an amazing result! I look 20 or more years younger but it is ME, not somebody else! My recovery was amazingly quick, I actually went to dinner with friends 48 hours after the surgery, the same day my bandages were removed. My very first compliment received from somebody “ in the know” was:” OMG, it’s YOU but so young...”. My husband who was so much against my facelift tells me every morning how beautiful I am. I cannot go past the mirror without smiling to myself! I am no longer horrified by the way l look, I love it! Thank you, Dr Shekhtman!

    I had a great experience with Dr. Shektman and his team for my breast augmentation. I was extremely nervous to even have a consultant but felt very much at ease by the end of it. The surgery team was wonderful and made me feel incredibly relaxed right before the operation. Recovery (for me) was easy and I was back to work within a few days. The results were amazing - I wish I had done this years ago.
