Welcome To Dr. Francel Online

Bags under the eyes, wrinkled drooping layers of skin on the eyelids, and sagging eyebrows give the entire face a tired or sad or angry expression. Eyelid surgery, also referred to as "Blepharoplasty", can brighten the face and restore a more youthful appearance by removing loose, sagging skin or puffy, bulging bags of fat from the upper and/or lower lids. Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is often performed along with a facelift or with other enhancing facial procedures.

Dr. Francel may operate on the upper and/or the lower eyelids. In some cases, sagging eyebrows and deep lines in the forehead, may require correction with a brow lift. Incisions are well hidden in the natural fold of the eyes. In some cases, excess fat can be removed through an incision placed inside the lower eyelid. Sutures close the incisions, leaving hairline scars that soon fade. Often a Blepharoplasty procedure requires no postoperative bandaging. A few small surgical pieces of tape will cover the incisions and are removed the following day. Because eyelid skin is thin, you should expect some swelling and black-and-blue discoloration. You will be able to resume wearing makeup and contact lenses shortly after your surgery.

Within a few weeks, the thin surgical scars will become less visible and gradually blend into your eyes' natural lines. The result can be vibrant, open and refreshed eyes.
