Benefits That Beautify

A lovely aesthetic impact goes hand in hand with blepharoplasty, which encompasses upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. You can end up looking like you hope to feel - youthful, rested, and refreshed! As a result, enhanced self-esteem is another benefit that Dr. Rabson’s patients experience.

• The Upper Eyelids at a Glance - During upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Rabson removes excess skin and literally lifts the remaining skin. This successful procedure removes the unnatural folds and creases of the eye, leaving your skin looking firmer, smoother, and younger looking. In addition, the puffiness that once caused the upper eyelids to give a tired and swollen appearance can be eliminated. Women say that they find it much easier applying make-up without the extra skin being in the way.
• The Lower Eyelids at a Glance - During lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Rabson removes fat deposits along with any excess skin. This process corrects the wrinkles and fine lines in the eye area, and eliminates the heavy bags and droopiness under the eye. It is also possible to transfer fat or inject a filler to plump up seemingly sunken areas beneath the eyes. Dr. Rabson tightens the muscle sling to help lift and smooth the lower eyelid for a cleaner and longer lasting result.

Benefits You Can Use

While a majority of patients seeking the benefits of eyelid surgery in our Philadelphia-area facilities are focused on the aesthetics, blepharoplasty often meets the needs of patients who are interested in functionality. The removal of excess skin and tightening of remaining skin can restore the peripheral vision, if your vision is blocked by sagging or drooping eyelids. The doctor can conduct a special test in order to determine the degree to which unwanted skin interferes with your line of sight, reestablishing your true range of vision as well.

Because of its medical benefits, upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be considered a non-elective procedure by insurance companies. In other words, it is possible to get partial coverage in cases that qualify.
