Laser Resurfacing After Your Eyelid Surgery:

The skill of an eyelid surgery specialist is evident only from the appearance of the face post-surgery. Very often it is a combination of complementing procedures that are performed in order to achieve the desired effect.

If the patient is old, say about 50 years of age, cosmetic surgeons can perform an eyelid surgery alongside a forehead lift and sometimes even a rhinoplasty. But cosmetic surgery packages are best performed only after the resilience of the patient towards surgery is determined.

One of the cosmetic treatments that doctors perform as a finishing touch for an eyelid surgery is a laser resurfacing treatment. Wrinkles that appear near the eye corners can be removed with this treatment.

The laser vaporization procedure applies a beam of intense light energy on the area to be treated. The beam of laser then vaporizes the outer skin layer, the epidermis and stimulates the growth of collagen in the underlying dermis.

The skin that resurfaces is smooth and has a taut sheen to it. Crow’s feet around the eyes too exhibit a marked improvement. The non-invasive nature of a laser resurfacing treatment makes it a great procedure to have along with an eyelid surgery.

To gauge your suitability for this procedure you can consult us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
