You can get it here at Glavas Center, catering to patients in Boston, Beverly, and New York City.
Benefits of Ethnic Eyelid Surgery
Ethnic eyelid surgery offers several benefits, including:
- Enhancing the natural beauty of your eyes.
- Creating a more defined eyelid crease.
- Addressing concerns such as puffiness or sagging.
- Providing a rejuvenated and youthful look while maintaining your ethnic features.
Ideal Candidates for Ethnic Eyelid Surgery
Patients with darkly pigmented skin can be excellent candidates for cosmetic eyelid surgery or laser resurfacing. Even patients who form keloids on other parts of their bodies can still have eyelid surgery without problems. Preserving the eyelid contour and eye shape is very important, and Dr. Ioannis Glavas has the knowledge and expertise to rejuvenate the eyelids while preserving the ethnic characteristics of his patients when performing blepharoplasty for ethnicities.
Consultation Process
Getting enhanced eyelids begins with a thorough consultation at Glavas Center. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Glavas, the eyelid specialist in Boston, Beverly, and New York City will evaluate your eyelids, discuss your goals, and explain the options available to you. This personalized approach ensures the surgery plan aligns with your expectations and aesthetic preferences.
Preparing for Surgery
Preparation for ethnic eyelid surgery involves a few essential steps:
- Medical evaluation – A comprehensive medical consultation to check you’re a suitable candidate.
- Discussion of expectations – Clear communication about what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure.
- Pre-surgery instructions – Guidelines on medications, diet, and activities to follow in the days leading up to the surgery.
The Procedure
Ethnic eyelid surgery involves precise techniques tailored to your unique anatomy. After sedation, small incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to create a natural, enhanced look. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a smooth recovery.
Recovery Process
Post-surgery recovery is a vital part of the process. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial healing – Swelling and bruising are common during the first week. Following post-operative care instructions helps manage these effects.
- Follow-up visits – Regular appointments to monitor your healing progress.
- Final results – While initial improvements are visible within a few weeks, the healing process may take a few months.
