Eyelid surgery can help you achieve a refreshed and revitalized look by addressing the most common signs of aging on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. If you are experiencing facial cosmetic concerns like dark circles, puffiness, baggy eyes, or signs of aging such as crow’s feet, wrinkles, folds, or fine lines, this procedure might be an effective solution for you.

At KM Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of facial cosmetic surgeries. Our eyelid surgery in Coeur d’Alene can help you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Kai Morimoto to explore how eyelid surgery could be right for you.

What Does Eyelid Surgery Do?

Eyelid rejuvenation surgery in Coeur d’Alene can treat several cosmetic issues.

Ptosis

Ptosis – drooping or sagging eyelids – is a common sign of aging, resulting in lost skin elasticity. In some cases, ptosis can impair vision. An eyelid surgery can tighten the skin and muscles around the eyelids, restoring a more youthful, alert appearance and improving vision.

Under-Eye Bags

Aging can cause the fat pads beneath the eyes to protrude, creating under-eye bags. Eyelid surgery can correct these bags by removing or repositioning excess fat, resulting in a more rested and refreshed appearance.

Puffy Eyelids

During eyelid surgery, Dr. Morimoto can remove the fatty deposits that cause puffy eyelids, resulting in a smoother eye contour.

Hooded Upper Eyelids

Some people have excess skin on their upper eyelids, obscuring their natural eyelid crease and making their eyes appear smaller. This condition, called hooding, can be treated with eyelid surgery to create an open and refreshed look.

Excess Skin

Excess skin, folds, and wrinkles around the eyes can result in a tired or aged appearance. Eyelid surgery can remove this excess skin and smooth wrinkles, rejuvenating the overall appearance of your eyes and face.

Impaired Vision

In cases where excess eyelid skin or drooping eyelids obstruct your vision, eyelid surgery can permanently remove the tissue blocking your sight, improving your vision.

Your Eyelid Surgery Procedure

During your initial consultation, Dr. Morimoto will help you determine whether an upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or combination procedure in Coeur d’Alene is most suitable for you. With her extensive experience, she can recommend the procedure that can best achieve your desired results.

Upper and lower eyelid procedures are similar but target different areas. For an upper eyelid surgery procedure, Dr. Morimoto will make an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove the excess skin and fat. However, for a lower eyelid surgery procedure, the main incision is made directly below your eyelashes.

In both surgeries, the fatty tissue and muscles around your eyes may be reshaped, redistributed, or altered to enhance their shape, firmness, and appearance. Dr. Morimoto will remove any excess fat, skin, and tissue to contour your eye area. We can also combine your eyelid surgery with advanced laser treatments or dermal fillers to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Your Recovery After a Blepharoplasty

After your blepharoplasty in Coeur d’Alene, you will receive cold compresses and prescription eye drops with instructions for their use. Typically, you can resume light exercise one week after the procedure, while more vigorous activities, like gym workouts, may be resumed after two weeks. Most patients can return to work within five to ten days. Additionally, you should wait at least two weeks before wearing contact lenses. For most individuals, a full recovery from eyelid surgery generally takes around two weeks.
