Droopy eyelids can have a significant impact on a patient’s life, leaving them looking fatigued even when that is not the case. In many cases, droopy eyelids and a tired expression are at complete odds with how one feels inside. But this condition can be reversed with the help of a skilled cosmetic surgeon. That is why Chicago Oculofacial Consultants is proud to offer our patients the option for personalized ptosis surgery in Chicago for a lasting rejuvenated aesthetic.
In some cases, patients choose to combine ptosis repair with other procedures at our practice, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery. During your consultation, we can go over all your options that match your goals and will provide a personalized outline of your expected procedure.
In addition to improving the appearance of drooping eyelids, droopy eyelid surgery can also improve vision obstruction and aid in facial rejuvenation. After eyelid surgery, you should be able to see clearly without any drooping or sagging preventing your view. Furthermore, droopy eyes often appear aged and tired, which can make you look older than you are. By correcting droopy eyelids, you can achieve a rested and youthful appearance that will make you look brighter and more energetic.
Candidates for ptosis repair should be in good physical health and come prepared with healthy, realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. We will provide complete, transparent information about the procedure, so you can have an accurate understanding of what results to expect. Furthermore, droopy eyelids need to be assessed by our specialist to determine if it is indicated. The first step is to set up your consultation with Dr. Williams, a board-certified specialist with years of experience. She will take the time to get to understand your situation and fully examine your eyelids to see what procedure options suit your goals.
Recovery time for ptosis repair is usually minimal, with most patients reporting very manageable pain or discomfort. After surgery, some swelling, bruising, and tightness of the lids are normal. This should go away in about a week or two. In most cases, you will be able to return to work and other regular activities after a few days of rest. During your recovery, you may come in for a follow-up visit with Dr. Williams to check the progress of your healing. Once approved, you can return to your daily routine and start enjoying your new, lively aesthetic.
Your ptosis repair results should last for many years with the proper care and maintenance. To keep your droopy eyelids at bay, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen when outdoors. Getting enough sleep is also important to maintain a refreshed, young appearance.
