Sometimes, treating only the upper or lower eyelids is not enough to fully achieve your goals. In these cases, it may be time to consider a quad blepharoplasty that can bring out the best in your eye area. But to see results that you love, you will need an experienced surgeon on your side. This is why Chicago Oculofacial Consultants is proud to offer our patients the option for personalized procedure in Chicago for a revitalized facial aesthetic.
Quad blepharoplasty, also known as quad eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that focuses on the four quadrants of the eyes: upper left and right lids, lower left and right lids. The goal is to improve the overall appearance of the eye area for a refreshed look. It is ideal for patients who want a stunning overhaul of their eye area, and tackles multiple cosmetic concerns at one time.
At
Chicago Oculofacial Consultants, quad blepharoplasty is performed at the same time, eliminating the need for additional trips to the operating room. During the procedure, your surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and fat to reduce puffiness and sagging around the eyes. The skin incisions are carefully placed and hidden within the natural lines around the eyes. Within an hour or so after your procedure, you can go home to begin recovery.
While everyone heals differently, eyelid incisions often leave minimal scarring that heal well without much evidence of surgery. The entire procedure typically takes two to three hours, but may vary depending on the specifics of your procedure plan. Patients may also have the opportunity to combine with a brow lift for even further aesthetic rejuvenation.
The quad blepharoplasty procedure is ideal for individuals who have excess skin and fat around the eyes, as well as those who are looking to achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated look. Since it improves both the upper and lower eyelid areas, it can also be helpful for patients who want to reduce the impact of aging on their facial features.
During your initial consultation at Chicago Oculofacial Consultants, Dr. Williams will be able to determine if quad blepharoplasty is the right choice for you. He can answer all your questions, explain what to expect during the procedure, and provide individualized recommendations to help you get the best results possible.
Immediately after your procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes. Some discomfort or pain is also normal but can be managed during recovery with proper medication. Your surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for your incisions over the course of recovery, so be sure to follow them closely.
Most patients are able to return to their everyday activities within a week or two, but we still advise avoiding strenuous activity until Dr. Williams gives her approval.
You deserve to take that first step toward a powerfully refreshed aesthetic look today. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Williams today to learn more about blepharoplasty in Chicago.
