The bruises and swelling may remain for a long time. One should remember that these bruises will subside with time, leading to healthy, young and good looking eyes. At our surgical center in West Hills Hosptial & Medical center, we perform eyelid surgery on both the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery targeting the upper lids can remove excess skin that may be impeding vision, and eliminate the "droopy" appearance caused by overhanging skin. Eyelid surgery on the lower lids can reduce bags around the eyes and tighten loose skin that contributes to a tired, worn out look. After a thorough exam at Brian Evans Plastic Surgery Clinic, we can help you decide whether eyelid surgery is appropriate for your lower lids, upper lids, or both.
