Blepharoplasty is a procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, making you look more rested, happier, and rejuvenated.
The use of carbon dioxide laser for eyelid surgery has certain advantages over the traditional “cold knife” approach. Laser can be used to incise the skin in a controlled fashion that results in a “bloodless” surgical field. As a result, Dr. Ioannis Glavas has an excellent view of the anatomy, the procedure time is reduced significantly, and the potential for complications from bleeding is minimized. The fatty tissue is artistically sculpted using a fine and precise laser beam instead of cutting.
In addition, postoperatively, the amount of bruising seems to be less, and the recovery time, also known as downtime, is reduced significantly, allowing the patients to resume their routine lifestyle sooner.
Another advantage of having the carbon dioxide laser available is the ability to treat the surface of the skin at the same time. This offers a great benefit to the overall goal of eyelid rejuvenation, mainly for two reasons. First, the skin is already anesthetized for the surgical procedure, so Dr. Glavas may use the appropriate settings to achieve the maximum effect on the skin without causing patient discomfort. Second, treating the skin surface with the laser reduces pigment and other dyschromias and tightens the surface, something not possible when using the traditional non-laser technique.
Laser blepharoplasty may be used for both upper and lower lid surgery.
