Restore a Brighter, More Youthful You with Our Advanced Blepharoplasty Technique

Do drooping eyelids or under-eye bags make you look older, tired, or even angry? You’re not alone. These common signs of aging can significantly impact your appearance and self-confidence. But what if there was a way to achieve a brighter, more youthful look without the downtime or visible scars of traditional eyelid surgery? 

At YMD Facial Plastic Surgery in Orlando, Dr. Yeilding offers a revolutionary approach to blepharoplasty – laser eyelid lift surgery. This innovative technique utilizes advanced CO2 laser technology to precisely remove excess skin and refine the delicate tissues around your eyes.

Blepharoplasty offers durable results with minimal maintenance, providing a lasting improvement in both the cosmetic and functional aspects of the eyelids.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty revitalizes the eyes by removing excess skin that drapes from the eyebrows, which can sometimes obstruct vision. This procedure eliminates the excess skin tissue from the upper eyelid, and the incision is closed with sutures, restoring a more alert and refreshed look. 

Lower Blepharoplasty

During a Lower Blepharoplasty, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to sculpt and reposition superficial fat pads. This approach leaves no visible incision and eliminates the need for stitches. The result is a smooth, youthful appearance with bags under the eyes becoming virtually imperceptible.

Our Unique Blepharoplasty Procedures

Asian Blepharoplasty:

Dr. H.S. Hwang notes that Asian individuals seek eyelid surgery not to westernize their eyes, but to appear more open, energetic, and youthful. Dr. Yeilding uses an advanced surgical technique that adapts to the supratarsal crease (double eyelid), surpassing traditional methods. Her use of a focused laser ensures precise, clear, and refined outcomes, with minimal scarring and a natural appearance, reducing recovery time. 

Laser Lid Lift:

Dr. Yeilding’s laser blepharoplasty (laser lid lift) employs the CO2 laser as a precise scalpel. The procedure features small, self-sealing incisions that heal well with minimal scarring. The laser also enhances lower eyelid skin by tightening it, promoting rejuvenation and improving sin elasticity through increased cell turnover.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blepharoplasty

A good candidate for Blepharoplasty is someone in good overall health, bothered by the appearance of their eyelids, and realistic about their expectations. During a consultation, Dr. Yeilding will assess your individual needs and determine if Blepharoplasty is the right choice for you. 

Laser Blepharoplasty offers several advantages over traditional techniques: 

  • Precision: The laser allows for more precise incisions and minimal tissue manipulation. 
  • Minimal Scarring: Laser technology minimizes scarring, leading to a more natural-looking result. 
  • Faster Recovery: Laser surgery often leads to faster healing and less downtime. 
  • Reduced Bleeding: Lasers can cauterize blood vessels as they cut, reducing bleeding during surgery. 

After Blepharoplasty, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Yeilding will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your eyes during recovery. Most people experience significant improvement within a week, with full results visible within a few months. 

In some cases, Blepharoplasty can improve vision by removing excess skin that is obstructing the upper eyelid. However, the primary goal of Blepharoplasty is cosmetic, not to restore vision. 

The results of Blepharoplasty are long-lasting. With proper skincare and sun protection, you can enjoy a more youthful and refreshed appearance for many years. 

Blepharoplasty is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Yeilding. During your consultation, Dr. Yeilding will discuss the potential risks and complications associated with the surgery.
