During revision eyelid surgery, Dr. Heringer will carefully assess your individual needs to restore a natural, balanced appearance to your eyelids. Depending on the issues at hand, he may remove excess skin, reposition or remove fat, or tighten the muscles around the eyes to address concerns such as unevenness, sagging skin, or changes in the position of the eyelids. This procedure can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelids and aims to achieve a harmonious, refreshed look that complements the rest of your facial features.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you remain completely relaxed and pain-free throughout the procedure. Dr. Heringer and his team will closely monitor you to ensure your comfort and safety.
Dr. Heringer uses advanced, precise surgical techniques to minimize scarring and achieve the most natural, seamless results possible. For example, he will make small, carefully placed incisions either in the natural creases of the eyelids, hidden within the lash lines, or inside the lower lid. These incisions are strategically located to keep any scars discreet and to blend the surgical area with the surrounding skin.
If the eyelids are overcorrected from a previous surgery or if there are complications such as scarring or irregular contours, Dr. Heringer will address these issues by carefully adjusting the skin, fat, and underlying muscles. In some cases, he may need to tighten the skin, reposition the fat pads under the eyes, or reposition the muscles that control eyelid movement to improve both the function and appearance of the eyelids.
The revision’s focus is not just cosmetic—it also aims to improve the functionality of the eyelids, which can be important if sagging or uneven eyelids are affecting vision or comfort. By restoring balance, tightening the skin, and refining the eyelids’ contour, Dr. Heringer creates a more youthful and harmonious appearance while ensuring proper eyelid function.
After the procedure, you can expect to see subtle yet noticeable improvements with natural-looking results and minimal visible scarring. Dr. Heringer’s meticulous techniques ensure that the final result enhances the overall aesthetic of your face, leaving you with eyes that look rejuvenated, balanced, and refreshed.
