(757) 496-5556 If you have had eyelid surgery and are not happy with the results, then you may be an ideal candidate for a revision eyelid surgery in Virginia Beach.
If this is the case, we can take care of you. One of the experienced surgeons at Galardi | Bowen | Rosenblum Plastic Surgery could examine your eyelids during an initial consultation and discuss your options for improvement.
Why Do People Get Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is used to correct age-related issues that make your eyes look “tired,” such as:
- Loose upper eyelids
- Droopiness of the lower eyelids
- Puffiness
- bags under the eyes
- Excess skin
In some cases, eyelid surgery may be recommended to correct vision impairment caused by loose or sagging skin in the upper eyelids. With a talented surgeon, blepharoplasty results in a distinct improvement in appearance, but sometimes revision eyelid surgery is needed to correct errors. Not all surgeons are equal, and we can fix the problems your previous surgeon may have created.
What Can Go Wrong with Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery carries the same risks as other surgery, including infection and bleeding. However, the kind of issues that warrant revision eyelid surgery in Virginia Beach include:
- Difficulty closing the eyes
- Noticeable scarring
- Excessive fat removal making you look more startled
- Asymmetrical results
Seeking a qualified surgeon lowers the risk of these complications. Though, some problems may be caused by a side effect such as infections or an injury suffered during the post operative period. If you are not comfortable going back to your original surgeon, we can help.
Is Revision Eyelid Surgery the Same as the Original Procedure?
Typically, yes. When you get your revision eyelid surgery in Virginia Beach, you will receive the same outpatient procedure you did before and experience the same post operative recovery period.
However, in certain situations, our skilled surgeons may be able to do revision with a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which results in no outer incision and scar. We may do this if it is not possible to remove any more skin without causing problems with the function of your eyelids.
The surgery will take one to two hours, depending on the specifics of your particular procedures, and you will need to rest for a few days after. Most blepharoplasty patients are ready to return to work in 5 to 7 days following the operation. Additionally, we may talk to you about avoiding a repeat of any previous complications, such as taking extra care to avoid infection.
