If you are looking for a non-surgical solution for sagging skin around the lower eyes, we offer a skin tightening procedure called Exilis. Exilis works on any area of the face. The entire face and neck can be treated at one time for an overall skin tightening effect. Under eye areas can be treated alone to help reduce under eye skin laxity and bags under the eyes. The neck and jowls are the most common face area treated. The results are truly amazing for a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure. To learn more about this amazing non-surgical treatment, please visit our Skin Tightening page.

When to Consider Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be customized to address your specific areas of concern. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have bags and puffiness around your eyes
  • Have loose skin, wrinkles or fine lines around your eyes
  • Have discoloration or dark circles under your eyes

Eyelid surgery is ideal for patients with eyes that appear chronically sad, tired or fatigued. As a general rule, the best candidates are in good health and possess realistic expectations. Though most of our patients are 35 years of age or older, surgery can be performed on adults of all ages. The best way to find out if surgery is right for you is to schedule a cosmetic consultation with Dr. David Robbins. During your cosmetic consultation you will be able to ask questions, feel comfortable with Dr. Robbins and his staff and talk about your goals for facial rejuvenation.

FAQs

  • What happens during eyelid surgery?

    At Des Moines Plastic Surgery™, your surgery and all your appointments are conveniently located at our office in West Des Moines, Iowa. We have a fully accredited operating room located at our office which provides privacy and continuity of care. Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure that requires general anesthesia or intravenous sedation or in some circumstances, local anesthesia alone. Dr. Robbins will make precise incisions just below your lower lashes (for lower eyelid surgery) and/or in the natural folds of your upper lids (for upper eyelid surgery).

    Through these incisions, Dr. Robbins will be able to remove excess skin and fat. Following surgery, all incisions will be secured with small sutures for minimal scarring.

  • Will I need to take time off from work?

    Yes. The time necessary for your recovery will ultimately depend on your body’s natural healing abilities, but most patients feel comfortable resuming work and light physical activities within 10 days. When creating a schedule for your time off from work, it’s important to note that noticeable swelling and bruising may persist for 1 to 2 weeks.

  • What is the recovery like after eyelid surgery?

    It’s normal to experience some soreness and tightness around your eyes for the first few days. This discomfort can be controlled using a combination of prescription pain medication and cold compresses.

    Incisions made during upper and lower eyelid surgery are concealed within the natural contours of your eyelids. Some scarring may be visible following surgery, but this will gradually fade and flatten over the course of a few months.

  • What are the risks of eyelid surgery?

    Like all surgical procedures, eyelid surgery does carry risks. We will discuss these risks with you in our office during your consultation and/or pre-op appointment. Some risks may include adverse reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, asymmetry or undesirable results.

What do you want to look like when it’s all said and done?

Finding the profile that could make that vision in your head real is an important step. Understanding breast implant profiles can help you determine how far breast implants project out from the chest wall when you’re standing up.

A higher profile implant will “project” farther from your body than a lower one.

The Natrelle INSPIRA® Collection offers five profiles, from low to extra-full, so you can find the fullness you’re looking for.

Book a consultation with Dr. Robbins and the Des Moines Plastic Surgery team to learn more - see link in @dsmplasticsurgery bio for online scheduling.
