Upper Eyelid Lift

If you have sagging eyelid skin, an upper eyelid lift Columbus, Ohio may be right for you. The skin of your eyelids is the thinnest skin of your face. Thin skin has little collagen elasticity and is more susceptible to aging changes and sun damage. Whenever we blink (as we do thousands of times a day) or close our eyes, we are stretching the upper eyelid down to meet the lower. Eventually, this skin lengthens, creating extra folds. Women often notice this extra skin when applying makeup. For both women and men alike, the extra eyelid skin can lapse over the upper lids and eyelashes, leading to a droopy appearance.

Areas of Improvement

Upper eyelid

Results will Last

10-12 years for upper eyelids

Recovery Time

7-10 days

Recovery Process

Swelling and bruising is expected but usually resolves in 7-10 days. Temporary numbness of the eyelids will last for 6-8 weeks.

An eyelid lift, also called a blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate your appearance by removing the extra fat and skin of your eyelids. There are two types of blepharoplasty, and we invite you to learn more by choosing one of the following links:

  • An upper eyelid lift removes the excess skin of your upper eyelids to restore a more youthful appearance.
  • A lower eyelid lift repositions the skin and fat beneath your eyes to eliminate that “puffy” look.

 

Why Have an Upper Eyelid Lift / Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty can remove the excess skin from the upper eyelids. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer eye area. As with all facial plastic surgery, good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites. Patients report that they actually see better with less hanging skin. Women report that their make-up looks fresher.

 

Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) in Columbus

When our friends and family members say we look tired, in most cases, they are referring to the aging changes they see around our eyes. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to refresh the appearance around the eyes and create a more youthful look. An upper blepharoplasty or eyelid lift removes excess skin from the upper eyelids.

Procedure

In upper eyelid lift surgery, Dr. Nogan first marks the individual lines and creases of your lids to keep the scars as invisible as possible along these natural folds. He will accurately measure the amount of skin to be removed. He then makes the incision and removes the excess fat, muscle, and loose skin. He uses fine sutures to close the incisions, thereby minimizing the visibility of any scar.

Post-Op Results

In most cases, You are able to return to work and resume normal activities after one week. Dr. Nogan will advise you to wear sunglasses in the summer months following surgery in order to protect your eyelids from the sun and to help minimize scarring. Sutures are typically removed after 5 to 7 days.

Why have an Eyelid Lift?

Whether you desire an eyelid lift surgery for functional or cosmetic reasons, your choice of a qualified facial plastic surgeon is of paramount importance. During your pre-surgical consultation, Dr. Stephen Nogan will examine you and ask questions concerning your vision, tear production, use of lenses, and your desires for Eyelid surgery. Dr. Nogan will explain what you can expect from blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery and take a complete medical history. Your age, skin type, ethnic background, and degree of vision obstruction are factors that must be taken into consideration.

People with circulatory, ophthalmological, or serious medical conditions must rely on their own personal specialists to determine whether blepharoplasty is an option. A consultation with a facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Nogan can help you decide whether any additional, complementary surgery can increase the success of the surgery. Dr. Nogan might, for example, recommend a simultaneous browlift to correct a drooping brow or skin resurfacing to remove the fine-line wrinkling around your eyes.

During your consultation, he will examine you to determine whether you may need a lower eyelid lift, an upper eyelid lift or both. After you and Dr. Nogan make a mutual decision to proceed with your eyelid surgery, he will discuss with you the technique indicated for your individual eyelid surgery outlining the type of anesthesia, the surgical facility, any supportive surgery, and the risks and costs of the procedure.

Eyelid Surgery Post-Op Results

Eyelid surgery —whether on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both—can result in a more youthful appearance and a less tired, more bright expression. This surgery will not make you look like someone else; often the results are more subtle rejuvenation.

How much does an Eyelid Lift cost in Columbus, Ohio?

The fees for an eyelid lift will be based on the exact nature of the procedure. The total fee for the upper eyelid lift is about $2900. The total fee for a lower eyelid lift will range from $5200-$6700 depending on the exact nature of the procedure. An exact quote is given upon consultation and examination.

 

How can skin care products help me?

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.

Spend as much time as you need learning more about our team and the services we provide. We are passionate about what we do, and we would love to see you soon.
