Red Deer Eyelid Lift/Blepharoplasty

Laser Eyelid Lift Surgery (blepharoplasty) corrects sagging, puffy eyelids and helps patients appear more youthful and rested. It can be used for both the upper and lower eyelids.

This procedure is effective for:

• Redundant skin of upper eyelids or lash line
• Puffiness in upper and lower eyelids
• Deep grooves under your eyes

Eyelid Lift Surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not a covered service under Alberta Health Care. Dr. Day is a Royal College-certified dermatologist with specialized experience and training in eyelid surgery. We recommend patients have a vision test with their optometrist prior to having eyelid surgery.

For those wanting to avoid surgery, tightening of the skin around the eyes can also be achieved with laser resurfacing and Accutite ^®.

Blepharoplasty can be performed using a surgical laser. We administer a local anesthetic to numb the area, and a sedative that keeps patients comfortable throughout the surgery. The laser enables greater accuracy when dealing with the delicate skin around the eye and reduces bleeding and bruising. Surgery time averages 2 hours. Recovery is typically 7 days and requires suture removal at 5-7 days. Swelling and bruising can vary between patients but is generally minimal. A return to regular activity may take up to one week. Overall, there is little discomfort and downtime, and very positive results.
