Procedure Summary

Dr. Joe Khoury’s approach to eye lift surgery involves precise incisions, removal or repositioning of tissue, and meticulous closure of incisions using sutures or skin glue.

How should I prepare for eye lift surgery?

Preparation for eye lift surgery with Dr. Joe Khoury involves a thorough consultation to discuss goals, medical history, and pre-operative instructions. Patients may be advised to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding risks. Dr. Khoury’s personalized approach ensures that each patient is well-prepared and informed before their scheduled procedure.

Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Determining if you’re a good candidate for eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, involves considering several factors. Here are some key points to help you understand if this procedure is suitable for you:

  1. Eyelid Concerns: If you have excess skin or fat deposits on your upper eyelids or lower eyelids that make you look tired or older than you feel, eyelid surgery can address these issues. Additionally, if you’re considering a brow lift to rejuvenate the area above your eyes, this can often be combined with eyelid surgery for comprehensive results.
  2. Health and Age: Generally, good candidates for eyelid surgery are in good overall health and don’t have medical conditions that could impair healing. Age is less of a factor than overall health, but most candidates are over 18 years old. If you have concerns about eye bags, a plastic surgery procedure such as blepharoplasty can be effective in reducing their appearance.
  3. Realistic Expectations: It’s essential to have realistic expectations about what eyelid surgery can achieve. While it can enhance your appearance and make you look more refreshed, it won’t completely change your facial structure or stop the natural aging process. However, it can effectively address issues like droopy upper eyelids and excess skin.
  4. Consultation with Dr. Joe Khoury: Schedule a consultation with Dr. Joe Khoury to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations from the surgery. He will evaluate your eyelid structure, skin elasticity, and overall health to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. If you’re also considering a brow lift or have concerns about eye bags, Dr. Khoury can provide personalized recommendations during your consultation.

Risks / Benefits

Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, bruising and swelling, temporary numbness or dryness of the eyes. However, under the care of Dr. Joe Khoury, the benefits of eyelid surgery can be significant, offering improved vision, enhanced facial aesthetics, and increased self-confidence for many patients.

What is the blepharoplasty recovery time?

The recovery time for blepharoplasty varies from patient to patient but typically involves a few days of downtime. Dr. Joe Khoury provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process, including resting with the head elevated, using cold compresses, and avoiding strenuous activities until cleared by the doctor. Patients can expect gradual improvement as swelling and bruising subside, revealing a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance around the eyes.

FAQ: Making an Informed Decision for Your Tummy Tuck

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck typically include those in good physical health, at a stable weight, and with realistic expectations. They should be non-smokers or have stopped smoking well in advance of the surgery. Individuals looking to correct diastasis recti, reduce excess abdominal skin or fat, or minimize stretch marks may be good candidates. However, those planning future pregnancies are advised to wait, as this could reverse the results. It’s vital to consult with a tummy tuck expert to evaluate your candidacy.

During recovery from a tummy tuck, expect to take it easy for at least two weeks with support around the house for daily tasks. Swelling, discomfort, and bruising are normal, but medication will ease pain. Your surgeon will give detailed care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to track your healing. Results like a smoother, firmer abdominal profile become more apparent as you heal. It’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enjoy lasting results.

Your tummy tuck results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. While the procedure removes excess skin and fat cells, significant weight fluctuations and natural ageing can affect longevity. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help preserve your sleeker contour for decades. Remember, it takes several months to see the final results, as your body needs time to heal completely.
