Myth #1: Eye Surgery Is Only for Older People
Even younger people have issues with congenital issues—it’s not always a sign of aging. Eyelid surgery can also help some younger people achieve a more alert and refreshed appearance. As long as you are healthy and are otherwise a good candidate for eyelid surgery, age doesn’t matter.
Myth #2: Eyelid Surgery Is Risky and Painful
Blepharoplasty is normally done under local or general anesthesia, which means minimal discomfort during surgery. Additionally, we use the most up-to-date surgical techniques, which significantly reduces the risk of complications associated with eye surgery.
Myth #3: Eye Surgery Doesn’t Look Natural
When a skilled surgeon does eyelid surgery, it can leave you with a natural look that enhances your eyes without changing your fundamental characteristics. The newest surgical techniques focus on preserving eyelid function that can give you a natural look.
Myth #4: The Recovery Period Is Long and Difficult
While you may have some bruising and swelling after eye surgery, the recovery time is usually short. Most people return to their normal activities within one to two weeks. Avoiding strenuous activities and using cold compresses, among other actions your doctor might recommend, can help recovery be less painful and faster.
Eyelid Surgery Is Only for Cosmetic Reasons
Some people have vision obstruction because of sagging eyelid skin. Blepharoplasty can improve your peripheral vision, enhance vision clarity, and minimize eye strain by removing the sagging skin.
