Eye Tucks Delaware

Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as an eye-tuck or eye lift, is a procedure designed to target the “bags” or “hooding” around the eyes that can make a person feel and look old.

There are many different methods to perform eyelid rejuvenation and this may cause patients some confusion. Dr. Saunders is an expert in plastic surgery and performs all types of eye-tuck operations. After consulting with the patient Dr. Saunders will discuss which technique will give the best results. Some physicians may claim one surgical procedure is the ‘only’ way to do it. This is simply not true as each patient is a unique person and the operation is taylored to them. The cosmetic surgery results after eye-lifts tend to be long lasting, safe and proven.

Dr Saunders closely evaluates and examines the entire eyelid area and even the the surrounding face. The best results he believes are by keeping facial balance, ansd maximizing a natural appearance. “Over done” looks are avoided by this careful and meticulous approach.

Dr. Saunders performs this surgery in his state of the art cosmetic surgery center. The Blepharoplasty surgery involves small incisions in the eyelid creases. It is very important to understand that these incisions are extremely “privileged” meaning that they fade extremely well, probably better than any other place on the body. Dr. Saunders uses the incision to either remove or reposition fat, adjacent skin and tissue. The incisions are closed and recovery begins. There is insignificant or minimal pain during recovery. Significant bruising and swelling should be expected to last for 5-14 days. This surgery is done on an out-patient basis so recovery is done at home.

It is important that patients have realistic expectations of what an eye-tuck or eye lift can offer. The aging process will continue and nothing is permanent however, the results tend to be long-lasting, safe and proven. Dr Saunders believes it is one of the best cosmetic surgery operations available.
