A typical primary eyelid surgery takes between one to two hours. No patient is ever rushed to achieve the best results.

Your health insurance may cover the cost of upper eyelid surgery if it is causing problems with your superior visual field. After your initial consultation with Dr. Kami Parsa he can tell you if you may be eligible and if further tests are necessary to determine eligibility.

Most cosmetic eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. If desired, local anesthesia with sedation can be performed. This type of anesthesia, also known as Monitored Anesthesia Care or MAC, is performed by an anesthesiologist. The main advantages of this anesthesia are: (1) it does not require putting a breathing tube in the throat, (2) it does not require a breathing machine, (3) the recovery is much faster, (4) there is less nausea after surgery. All of these elements translate into greater comfort and safety. During MAC anesthesia, an intravenous needle is placed into one of the veins of the arm or hand. Relaxing medication is given to make the patient fall asleep. The amount of medication is adjusted as needed. After the patient is asleep, numbing medicine is placed in the skin of the area that is being operated on. During the procedure the patient is unaware of anything going on and cannot hear anything, yet he or she is breathing normally.

Eyelid Surgery Recovery: Depending on the persons previous medical history there will be some swelling and bruising around the eyelids for one week. Most patients can return to work after 5 to 7 days. There is minimal eye discomfort after eyelid surgery. Ice packs are recommended for the first 2 days to decrease swelling. Arnica & Bromoline will help reduce swelling and bruising.

  • @NatiGTW Man I know its really vein but I just realised I am in the EXACT same situation too (From the men on my mothers side). In fact this is the first time I have discovered why I actually have creases on my forehead (because ofsubconsciously raising my brows so ). It's probably really taboo for a guy to be thinking about this sort of stuff but thanks for helping my find the one true thing that has always bothered me about the way I look. And @Jenlyn1984 thanks for the info too.

  • @Jenlyn1984 they do not cover my eyes at all, but they do cover my eyelids and then I look not pretty, but they probably will as soon as my skin will start aging, I noticed that my dad and uncle have way more droppy eyelids. But maybe I will see a doctor and then maybe lie a bit, that it actually bothers my eyes ?! I'd really like to get this surgery, having a surgery at the age of 16 isn't right, but well, it's really what I want and it's a really rational decision.

  • @NatiGTW if you have insurance, it is most likely covered...especially if the lids block your visual field like you said. go see an ocular plastic surgeon. I'm having the surgery done in two days....I'm 27 didn't even know my eyelids were droopy for legit my entire life until my eye doctor told me, because it's not that noticeable on me--and my insurance is covering it 100% and I don't even have that great of a plan thru my employer.

  • I have the same problem, even though I'm only 16, it's in my genetics, eveyone from my dad's family had droppy eyelids. It really bothers me, it cannot be seen that easily because I raise my eyebrows like all the time, but when I forget to do that I look horrible, like I'm mad/tired/eventually fat. If I ever have cash to do this surgery, I probably will.

  • She looks like Angelina Jolie!

  • Her upper results llok great. I think she would have looked even better with a lower eye surgery as well because th hg end skin under her eyes look crepey with those fine lines.

  • @Laaatiiina I want more eyelid space.

  • She has bedroom eyes. She shouldn't be complaining.

  • Now everyone knows bitch! Wahahahaah!

  • I think I have mild ptosis, its not very noticeable, do I need surgery for this or can I get glasses or contacts to fix it?
