Blepharoplasty: Never Look Back at Tired Eyes Again

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul – and when it comes to your eyes, all they seem to be communicating is that your soul is tired.

Heavy upper eyelids can significantly age the face, making you look much younger than you actually feel.  This is why eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in America.  Blepharoplasty, the medical term for an eyelid lift, can give a rejuvenated appearance to the face by removing fatty deposits from the eyelid, thus reducing the puffy appearance that is so common with sagging eyelids.

Drooping and heavyset upper eyelids can be more than just a cosmetic annoyance.  Sure, they make you look tired and older than you actually are.  But sagging eyelids can also present a danger to your eyesight.  Heavy eyelid skin can sag over the visual axis, which blocks your overhead visual field.  This condition is referred to as dermatochalasis, and it can be difficult to live with, as it impairs a great deal of your vision.

Enjoy A Superior Blepharoplasty Experience at Envision Eye and Laser Center

Here at Envision Eye and Laser Center in Glenn Dale, MD, Renee Bovelle, MD and her staff are dedicated to providing you with a superior blepharoplasty experience.  Before you begin the procedure, Dr. Bovelle will schedule an initial consultation to determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure.

A few factors that indicate you’re a viable candidate include the following:

  • You’re a healthy individual who does not smoke
  • You don’t have any serious eye conditions, as this can make the blepharoplasty procedure difficult to perform.  These eye conditions can include but are not limited to glaucoma, detached retinas, dry eyes, and other maladies.
  • You don’t suffer from any cardiovascular diseases.
  • You don’t suffer from high blood pressure and circulatory disorders.

Once Dr. Bovelle has determined that you’re a viable candidate for blepharoplasty, you’ll undergo the procedure.  This generally takes about an hour to perform and can be done in the outpatient area.  Cold compresses will need to be used during the first few days of treatment, while antibiotic ointments should be applied throughout the recovery period.  This usually lasts for about one month.

If you’re ready to get rid of your drooping and sagging eyelids, schedule a consultation with Dr. Bovelle at Envision Eye and Laser Center today! Located in Prince George’s county Maryland, we’re just  a short dive from Bowie, Silver Spring and Washington DC.

Banish Age and Restore Your Vision with an Eyelid Lift at Envision Eye & Laser Center

We’ve all heard the popular saying: you’re as young as you feel. But no matter how many youthful thoughts you have in your mind, there’s no denying that sporting heavy, tired and downright saggy eyelids can add unwanted years to your appearance.

Heavy and saggy eyelids aren’t just a cosmetic concern; in fact, they can be a major hindrance to your vision. Heavy eyelids can block the overhead visual field, thus resulting in decreased vision that can prove to be a major hassle if left uncorrected – not to mention downright dangerous.

Whether you want to banish unwanted years from your face or you’d simply like to enjoy 100% unrestricted vision, let the highly trained and professional experts at Envision Eye & Laser Center (conveniently located near Bowie, MD and Washington, D.C) help you do something about it!

The Envision eyelid lift procedure (also known by its technical term, “blepharoplasty”) is a surprisingly simple procedure that can be done from the comfort of our outpatient center. After a consultation with Dr. Bovelle at the Envision Eye & Laser Center, you’ll be taken to the outpatient center, where a highly trained and experienced technician will begin the eyelid lift procedure. You’ll be given a gentle sedative and local anesthesia, which allows for a quicker recovery time. The entire process takes about an hour, and recovery time is quick, meaning you won’t have to take weeks off from work just to recover from the procedure.

During the first few days of your total recovery time (which usually lasts for about one month), you’ll need to apply a cold compress to your eyes to reduce swelling and bruising. You’ll need to apply a special antibiotic ointment to the treated areas in order to avoid infections (this is provided by the Envision Eye & Laser Center). A week into your recovery, you’ll come in for a quick follow-up, where Dr. Bovelle or one of the technicians will remove your stitches. All in all, your appearance will be back to normal within a month – expect, however, you’ll look years younger and be able to make total use of your new unobstructed vision.

At the Envision Eye & Laser Center near Bowie, MD and Washington, D.C. we do more to give you the kind of vision and appearance you deserve. Visit us for a consultation today to see why more people are entrusting Envision Eye & Laser Center with all their eye care needs.
