Eyelid Surgery in Gainesville, North Florida

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is performed to improve the baggy or wrinkled appearance of the eyelids. Dr. Sadove, Gainesville/North Florida board certified plastic surgeon specializes in eyelid surgery to create a more refreshed appearance to the eye area. Many patients find that it makes them look more alert and well rested.

Incisions for Eyelid Surgery

Incisions are no longer needed on the skin below the lower lash line. Another technique is called a transconjunctival incision, where the scar is hidden inside the lower eyelid. The excess fat bulge is corrected with sutures in a technique popularized worldwide by Dr Sadove himself.

It is common to experience some swelling and minimal bruising following surgery. The almond shape of your eye is maintained. The final results will begin to appear several days to weeks following surgery. Most patients return to normal activities in a matter of days. If you're looking to enhance the look of your eyes, call our Gainesville, North Florida office today at (352) 367-2522.
