Let’s face it – when you have drooping eyelids, lower eye bags, and extra skin around your eyes, it’s difficult to look as young as you feel. What’s more, no matter how much sleep you get, you can’t shake the appearance of looking downright exhausted.
That’s why you’re considering blepharoplasty, a plastic surgery procedure that helps you address drooping eyelids. But you need help with more than just your eyelids – you have undereye bags and drooping skin to contend with as well. Fortunately, there’s the QUAD blepharoplasty.
What’s the Quad Blepharoplasty?
A quad blepharoplasty is an eyelid lift that takes a totally comprehensive approach; rather than treating just the upper eyelids or lower eyelids, this procedure treats both upper and lower eyelids. With a quad blepharoplasty, patients are able to achieve a younger, more well-rested appearance in a single procedure, saving both time and money while enjoying optimal results.
Surgical incisions are made in such a way that your surgeon is able to target both upper and lower eyelids at the same time. Your surgeon will carefully removes excess skin from the upper eyelid to correct drooping issues; any fatty tissue is repositioned or removed. The same process is used for the lower eyelid, which corrects undereye bags and excess drooping skin.
The results from a quad blepharoplasty can last forever, making this procedure an ideal option for patients who want to turn back the clock and look younger. A quad blepharoplasty is also a good option for patients who have impaired vision due to drooping skin (in these cases, insurance may cover some or all the costs of the surgery).
Swelling and bruising should be expected after the procedure; additionally, patients should sleep with a few pillows at night to aid with draining and prevent additional swelling. Sutures are removed about one to two weeks after the procedure.
