Before	After

The eyes are the first thing we notice when we meet someone new. Beautiful eyes can make up for other features that are less than ideal. Likewise, eyes that are puffy or swollen may not reflect a vibrant inner self. It is often said that the earliest signs of aging are around the eyes. People may also question whether or not you had a good night’s sleep because your eyes are swollen with bags. Dr. Shoib Myint at his Las Vegas Eye and Facial Plastic Surgery practice performs the cosmetic procedure which can give you dramatically younger eyes through “eyelid lifts”, also known as blepharoplasty for the lower eyelids.

Many factors, including heredity and sun damage, accelerate these changes. Younger people also elect to have this procedure done to eliminate puffiness of the eyes from congenital excess fatty tissue. This procedure is frequently done at the same time as other procedures, such as upper eyelid blepharoplasty, endoscopic forehead lift, and can be combined with other procedures to smooth skin wrinkles. When overhanging of the upper lids interferes with peripheral vision, and both upper and lower eyelids are done at the same time, the procedure may be covered by insurance.

The Surgery

Dr Myint removes the bags from the inside of the lower eyelid with no stitches resulting in faster recovery. Dr Myint can also correct the bags with a nonsurgical filler. For more detailed information about how this procedure may help you, we recommend that you consult Dr Myint and his staff.

The Recovery

Recovery from eyelid surgery is complete within seven to ten days. A small amount of lumpiness is usual at the corners of the eyes. Minimal blurry vision quickly resolves. Sunglasses allow you to go out in public immediately after surgery, and make-up can be worn within about one week. Normal activity can be resumed the next day, and exercise can be resumed within 7 to 10 days after surgery.
