A younger looking you
E yes are arguably the most noticeable feature on a face; they show emotion and help us connect with others. As we age, the skin around our eyes may become loose and saggy making it difficult to see and creating puffiness in the eyelids. Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid lift, is a cosmetic procedure that removes or tightens sagging skin around the eyes, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Stephen Baker, a leading eye surgeon on Vancouver Island, has been performing eyelid surgery for more than 20 years. He has earned a reputation of excellence by providing a creative and caring approach to reconstructive surgery, developing novel surgical techniques, and for his meticulous attention to detail.
“Eyelid surgery can truly change people’s lives in terms of helping them see better, look younger and feel more comfortable without the excess weight in the eye area,” said Dr. Stephen Baker, Baker Rejuvenation Centre. “Our clinic serves hundreds of patients for this procedure each year.”
The results of eyelid surgery can have a significant impact on the look of a person’s face; droopy eyes appear wider and more awake looking, bulging eyes can have eyelids lowered to look more natural, and bags under the eye area can be drastically reduced. As an ophthalmologist with sub-specialty training in oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Baker has spent his career working with patients seeking to improve the appearance and function of their eyes.
“We recognize any surgery involving the eye area can be intimidating for most people,” said Dr. Baker. “Our process of providing a thorough explanation of what to expect and addressing all concerns helps put each person at ease.”
The eyelid surgery procedure usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and is accompanied by a local anesthetic with a mild sedative. Following surgery, patients can return to regular activities within a few weeks. www.bakerrejuvenation.com
