Men and women who have droopy or sagging eyelids may improve their appearance and self-confidence by undergoing eyelid surgery ("blepharoplasty"). This facial cosmetic surgery involves correcting inevitable signs of aging, such as excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids, while improving the overall look of the face. If an individual desires a younger, more refreshed look, he/she can consult Daniel C. Daube, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., a Panama City eyelid surgery professional at Gulf Coast Facial Plastics & ENT Center. He and his professional, caring staff offer the most advanced technology at their highly accredited facility, using the most current surgical equipment.
Dr. Daube will evaluate the patient to help him/her decide if upper eyelid surgery and/or lower blepharoplasty are necessary. The best candidates for this surgery are people who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are psychologically stable. Usually, individuals who undergo this procedure are 35 years of age or older; however, younger candidates may also have sagging eyelids which are genetically predisposed. Dr. Daube performs blepharoplasty surgery by making incisions along the natural creases of the eye. He removes excess fat, tightens the muscles, and trims excess skin.
Typically, this cosmetic surgery procedure can take one to three hours, depending on whether additional procedures are performed. Often, rhinoplasty ("nose surgery") and facelift surgery ("rhytidectomy"), as well as injectables, such as Botox ®, may be combined with an eyelid lift.
