Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure to rejuvenate the appearance of eyelids. Recovery is an important part of this procedure, and patients should have a clear idea about what to expect during the recovery and how much time it may take to recover completely. The blepharoplasty surgeon will discuss all aspects during the initial consultation.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon providing eyelid surgery and various other procedures for the face, breast, and body. Patients in Las Vegas, Bullhead City, Laughlin, Pahrump, Mesquite NV, and surrounding locations have an opportunity to receive various procedures from Dr. Richards.

How long will it take to recover?

After blepharoplasty, the patient will normally take several weeks before the swelling and redness is resolved completely and full recovery is established. However, the downtime will not be more than a week or 10 days.

Patients can return to their workplace or resume regular activities at home in a week to 10 days. As the full effects of blepharoplasty are established gradually, the patient will feel more confident and satisfied with their eyelid appearance.

Immediate Post-Surgical Phase

While eyelid lift plastic surgery is an outpatient procedure, a few patients may require an overnight hospital stay. The appropriate environment for immediate recovery will be decided according to the patient’s condition. In some cases, the surgeon may cover the patient’s eyes gently with bandages. A lubricating ointment and cold compresses are recommended for the first few days.

Clear aftercare instructions will be given by the surgeon. Mild pain medications and antibiotics may be prescribed initially to keep the patient comfortable and minimize the risk of infection. Bruising, swelling, irritation, or dry eye conditions are expected in the initial post-op phase. These can be addressed with ointment, pain meds, and cold compresses. Eye drops may be advised to prevent dry eye.

First Few Weeks

Any activity such as reading, Internet surfing, watching TV or wearing contact lenses, which can put unnecessary strain on the eyes should be avoided in the first week of recovery. The patient should keep the head at a raised level in the first week as far as possible to minimize bruising and swelling. Sutures will be removed around the end of first week, and most patients will be able to return to work or resume their normal activities at this time.

Dr. Richards is a dedicated and experienced cosmetic surgeon receiving patients from Las Vegas, Bullhead City, Laughlin, Pahrump, Mesquite NV, and nearby areas for blepharoplasty. He may recommend the patient to wear dark sunglasses for the first two to three weeks in order to protect the eyes against sun and wind damage.

The patient should avoid heavy lifting of weights, bending, and strenuous exercises in the first two weeks after eyelid surgery. This will ensure that excessive blood flow does not occur in the eye region. Frequent naps may be taken during the first two weeks in order to give more rest to the eyes until the recovery is complete.

Facelift is one of the major cosmetic surgery procedures that can take several years off the patient’s face to restore a more youthful facial look. During the pre-op consultation, the surgeon will explain all aspects of the procedure, and may also present facelift before and after photographs.

The first concern of a responsible surgeon will be to educate the patient properly about facelift surgery, and help them make an informed decision. Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon providing facelift and other procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

What are Facelift Before and After Photographs?

 Before and after photographs in case of facelift plastic surgery refer to a pair or group of pictures pertaining to a previous patient who has received the same surgery with satisfactory results. The pictures are taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the initial bruising and swelling has been completely resolved.

The cosmetic surgeon will take care to ensure that before and after photographs are obtained with the full consent of the patient and presented before new patients in an appropriate manner. The patient’s identity will usually remain undisclosed. The sole purpose of this exercise is to use the photos as a visual tool and educate new patients about the potential effectiveness of facelift.

Benefits  

Face is the most prominent area of the body, and it is natural for a patient to be concerned about how their facial appearance will be altered with facelift surgery. Some patients may seek substantial improvement in the facial look, while others may only want a subtle reduction in the facial signs of aging to keep the results more natural looking.

In some cases, the surgeon may recommend ancillary procedures such as facial or neck liposuction, double chin or jowl reduction, neck lift, facial fat transfer, or other procedures. In each case, the patient is better placed to make the right decisions when they have access to a range of facelift before and after photos. Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for facelift and various other surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Reasonable Expectations 

Highest patient satisfactions levels in any cosmetic procedure are usually achieved when the patient has a positive mindset, clear aesthetic goals, and reasonable expectations. Therefore, an experienced surgeon will like to present facelift before and after photos at the very first appointment.

When the patient reviews the photos, they will know exactly what to expect and what not to expect from the surgery. This will mitigate the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring at a later stage when it may be too late to make any reversals.

Online Photo Gallery 

The surgeon may provide facelift before and after photos on their practice website under a dedicated Photo Gallery section. New patients can simply access the photos online in the comfort and privacy of their home or office. If they feel encouraged, they may decide to schedule a facelift appointment with the surgeon’s office.

The growth of the digital age is upon us. There has not been one business realm on this planet that has not been touched by digital technology. Even public organizations have been benefactors of the digital age, from police to fire departments and so on. In the medical community, patients and surgeons have been massive benefactors. Now a surgeon can show anyone what they can do and a patient can decide if that is what they want done to them. Digital pictures enable patients to see exactly how a particular operation will look on them.

The clarity of these pictures on the websites are astonishing. Now when a patient signs up for one of these operations they are far more informed about what to expect than patients were years before.

It is important, however, to choose a fully trained surgeon for a complex procedure such as facelift.

The plastic surgeon will discuss the costs and other aspects of the procedure at the initial consultation. A responsible surgeon will try to go the extra mile to ensure that the patient makes a fully informed and well-considered decision. Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon providing facelift and various other procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Factors Influencing the Sticker Price

The financial factors of a facelift plastic surgery will vary from one practice to another, and may even vary from one patient to another at the same practice. The following key factors will impact the overall dollar amount of the facelift for a patient.

Location Factor

Where the practice is located will make a difference to the overall monetary amount of the facelift surgery. The sticker price in prime urban centers and cities around the coastal regions will typically be higher than the costs in smaller towns and interior regions. Employment rates, medial household incomes, real estate prices, and local taxation can differ between two regions, which will impact the average costs. Therefore, the cost of facelift surgery in Las Vegas, NV may not be the same as the price tag in, say, Atlanta, GA.

Facelift Technique

If a significant improvement in the facial appearance is required, the surgeon may apply the deep plane facelift technique, or combine the procedure with facial liposuction, neck lift, fat transfer or other procedures. In another case, only a partial facelift surgery may be necessary. The cost of procedure will vary according to the type and extent of facelift surgery performed.

Anesthesia and Surgical Venue Costs

A Facelift may be performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. The procedure may be performed by an anesthesiologist or a registered anesthetist nurse. Their fee will differ according to their qualifications. The procedure may be performed at a hospital, an accredited surgical center, or a private surgical suite. The costs and benefits in each case will vary.

Fee Charged by the Surgeon

The cosmetic surgeon may charge a fee for facelift according to their qualifications, experience and reputation in the area of facial procedures. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends that patients should choose the right surgeon for their needs, and aspects such as the surgeon’s fee should only be secondary considerations to such a decision.

Financing

The price tag for the facelift procedure should not deter a patient from achieving their desired aesthetic goals. Patients have an option to receive low interest loans from professional medical care finance companies. These companies may offer easy terms and conditions and quick approvals, and sometimes even zero interest loans for a certain period of time.

Facelift is a long term cosmetic surgery solution to address the visible signs of facial aging. Each facial structure is unique and will require different facelift approaches to achieve optimal results in the least invasive way. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides facelift surgery to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Common Facial Aging Signs

Most patients will have one or more of the following facial signs of aging that can be corrected with a customized facelift plastic surgery procedure:

• Conspicuous nasolabial folds or laugh lines
• Sagging skin or ptosis in the mid-face or lower face
• Excess fat deposits or uneven fat distribution
• Wrinkles or fine lines in the area below the lower eyelids
• Appearance of prominent jowls or double chin

Various facelift options can be applied to address specific aging signs in the lower two-third of the face. In some cases, upper facial procedures such as brow lift, eyelid lift or forehead lift may also be combined to produce more harmonious looking results. Leading cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for facelift surgery.

Surgical Options

Facelift surgery may be completed in about two to five hours, depending on the facial surgery options chosen. The surgeon will begin the procedure by placing incisions in the front and back of the ear to keep them discreet. Prior to tightening the facial muscles and repositioning or excising loose skin, the surgeon may perform liposuction of the face and jowls. A deep plane facelift technique may be chosen if the facial skin is substantially sagging and requires a deeper lift. Results are more sustainable and natural looking with this technique.

If the patient presents a jowly face and has loose neck bands or double chin appearance, the surgeon may perform facelift in conjunction with neck lift surgery. If the patient suffers from loss of volume in the cheeks or temples, a facial fat transfer procedure may be performed to restore volume to the depleted areas and create a fuller, rounder face.

Facial fat transfer involves harvesting autologous fat from a donor site in the patient’s own body, and injecting the fat to the targeted areas that need volumizing. In some cases, non-surgical procedures such as dermal fillers may be applied to add volume to the face along with facelift surgery.

Neck or chin liposuction, brow lift, eyelid lift, forehead lift, nose reshaping, and ear reshaping surgery are some other facial surgery options that may sometimes be performed in conjunction with a facelift procedure. The surgeon will prepare a surgical plan according to the specific anatomical and aesthetic needs of the patient, which will combine one or more facial surgery options.

Recovery

Recovery period will depend on the extent of facelift surgery and additional facial procedures performed. Most patients can return to their normal routine or go back to work in about one to two weeks. While facial bruising will resolve in about two weeks, swelling will go away gradually over several weeks.

Rhytidectomy, commonly known as facelift, is a major cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reduce facial sagging and restore a youthful facial appearance. Facelift is a complex procedure involving nuances that can have a dramatic aesthetic impact. It is important to choose a fully trained and experienced surgeon to achieve the precise, desired goals with facelift surgery.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon providing facelift and various other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Richards keeps updated with the latest advancements and innovative techniques in the area of facelift surgery. He provides cutting edge facelift procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Selecting a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Richards earned his board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). ABPS is the most authoritative and prestigious board awarding certification only to the best in class surgeons with advanced training in plastic surgery. When a patient selects a surgeon who is board certified by the ABPS, they have an assurance that the surgeon has received at least three to five years of medical training, with a minimum of two years dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery.

Additionally, the surgeon will be required to undergo ongoing surgical training and take new exams every 10 years in order to maintain the board certified status. This rigorous certification system ensures that the surgeon remains on top with expertise in the latest surgical technology, techniques, and safety protocols. Dr. Richards’ extensive engagement in publishing scientific papers and making national level presentations in the field of surgery also establish his robust reputation and authority in the medical community.

Maintaining Personal Rapport

A facelift procedure is a transformative personal journey for a patient. It is important to choose a cosmetic surgeon who has a warm and accessible approach and an assuring, friendly demeanor. Having a personal rapport and a natural connect with the surgeon is important so that the patient can feel comfortable about sharing their innate needs, concerns, and aesthetic aspirations.

The surgeon should spend adequate time to address every little concern and doubt of the patient in detail to ensure complete patient satisfaction. Dr. Richards establishes a positive and reassuring relationship with his patients, and provides them personalized care and attention from the first consultation to the stage of recovery and beyond. He receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas.

Focus on Natural Looking Results

The patient should choose a facelift surgeon who is well-versed with the latest techniques to lift and tighten the underlying facial tissue and muscles. The surgeon should avoid horizontal pulling techniques that can create only superficial outcomes. Adopting advanced techniques will allow the surgeon to lift the facial tissue at a deeper level and lift upward in a vertical direction.

This will avoid the unnatural “windswept” or “pinched” facial appearance with excessively tight skin. Dr. Richards successfully addresses all age-related changes of the face with a consummate, three-dimensional approach, while eliminating the risk of facial distortions associated with the older or outdated techniques.

Facelift

A traditional full facelift or a mini facelift procedure can be performed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines from the face.

Eyelid Lift

One of the common aesthetic surgeries of the face is lower or upper blepharoplasty or eyelid lift surgery. This procedure is designed to rejuvenate eyes by reducing excess skin and redistributing fat around the eyelids, and reducing under-eye bags and dark circles.

Breast Implants

Experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for breast implant surgery.

Breast Lift

Heredity factors, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations can cause reduced skin elasticity in the breast area. This can cause the breasts to become heavily droopy, particularly in cases where the woman has larger breasts. Breast lift surgery can be performed to restore tighter, firmer, and more youthful looking breasts.

Liposuction

In the 30’s, many people tend to accumulate stubborn fat pockets in certain parts of the body. It may not always be possible to reduce these fats with diet and exercise. Liposuction is the most popular procedure available to reduce unwanted fat deposits.

Abdominoplasty

Loose skin around the abdominal area can occur after a pregnancy or a major weight loss. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as tummy tuck surgery is a proven and effective procedure to tighten loose skin and reposition weak underlying muscles to restore a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Body Lift

Mild to moderate skin laxity is a common occurrence, which can start showing in the 30’s. Thighs, hips, arms, upper torso, neck, and abdomen are commonly affected areas.

Eyelid lift surgery, clinically called blepharoplasty, may appear on the surface to be a minor cosmetic surgery, but it is a sensitive procedure because it involves the eyes. While dollar amount continues to be a starting point for many patients when considering eyelid lift, it is important to choose the right surgeon in order to ensure the safety and predictability of results.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards is a dedicated and experienced surgeon providing upper and lower eyelid surgery procedures. Dr. Richards will explain all aspects of the procedure, including its estimated costs, during the initial consultation. His first goal is to ensure that the patient makes a well-considered decision. Dr. Richards provides blepharoplasty to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Price Factors

The monetary amount of upper and lower eyelid plastic surgery can differ between two practices, and sometimes even between two patients at the same practice. If the practice is located in a busy urban center or a major city along the coasts, the average living costs in that region will usually be higher, which will have a bearing on the average costs of blepharoplasty in that area.

What kind of quality standards, expert staff and state of the art technologies are provided at a practice, will impact the costs of the procedure. The procedure may be performed at a hospital, an accredited surgical center or a private surgical suite. The costs and benefits in each case will differ, and will affect the overall sticker price of the surgery.

The fee charged by the cosmetic surgeon will depend on their training, experience, certifications and reputation in the field. Patients should make their choice judiciously, considering the authoritative expertise of the surgeon, particularly because the procedure involves the eyes.

Extent of Surgery

Blepharoplasty may be performed in a customized manner according to the unique needs of a patient. The patient may require either upper or lower eyelid lift, or in some cases, may require both. Sometimes the procedure may be performed in conjunction with other surgical or non-surgical procedures such as facelift, brow lift, facial fat transfer, facial fillers or Botox injections.

The monetary amount will differ in each case according to the extent and complexity of the procedure. The practice may sometimes offer a rebate for a limited period or where the patient chooses multiple procedures as a part of a package. Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for eyelid lift.

Insurance

Eyelid lift is primarily an aesthetic procedure, and the health insurance provider will not cover the sticker price of the surgery. But a notable exception could be a patient who suffers from a severe ptosis condition. If the eyelids are heavily droopy, it may cause a hindrance to safe and clear vision. Full or partial costs of the surgery would be covered in such a case.

Financing

Patients have the option to seek loans through medical care finance companies. Low interest financing, quick loan approvals, and easy terms of payment are usually available from these companies.

The appearance of eyes can make a dramatic impact on the overall facial look. Old and tired looking eyes can make a person appear older than their actual age. Eyelid lift cosmetic surgery is an important aesthetic procedure to improve the eye appearance. Clinically known as blepharoplasty, eyelid lift can reduce the aging signs such as sagging skin around the eyelids, hollows below the eyes and under-eye bags.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon providing eyelid lift surgery and various other surgical and non-surgical procedures for the breast, body, and face. Dr. Richards will choose the appropriate eyelid lift technique to meet the patient’s unique aesthetic and anatomical needs. He provides blepharoplasty procedure to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Candidacy

Any individual above the age of 18, who is unhappy about the presence of one or more of the following conditions, may be a suitable candidate for eyelid lift plastic surgery:

• Puffiness in the upper eyelids
• Conspicuous appearance of under-eye bags
• Wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes
• Sagging skin in the upper lids
• Partial vision obstruction due to droopy eyelid skin

Majority of people who seek blepharoplasty are over the age of 35, but if the condition runs in the family, patients may receive this surgery at an earlier age.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower blepharoplasty can be performed to minimize or redistribute excess fat tissue that may occur below the eyes. Loose skin can be excised to reveal a tighter, firmer, and smoother skin surface above the cheek. Facial fat transfer, cosmetic fillers or other non-invasive procedures may sometimes be combined with lower eyelid surgery to fill the depressions below the eyes.

Sometimes the drooping of lower eyelids may occur due to muscle laxity. It is possible to tighten the weak muscles while the eyelid lift is being performed. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will make the incisions along the natural creases around the lower eyelids to minimize the scarring visibility.

Upper Eyelid Lift

The appearance of droopy, inflated upper lids can be corrected with upper blepharoplasty through removal of excess fat tissue and skin. The surgeon will place the incision along the natural creases of the upper lid, and trim away excess skin to provide a rejuvenated look.

The same incision will be used to reposition the underlying muscles, if necessary. Once the loose skin is removed, the surgeon will lift the remaining skin and smoothly reattach it to create a more youthful look of the upper lids. Incisions will then be closed with fine sutures.

Transconjunctival Eyelid Lift

Patients who have less pronounced under-eye bags may benefit from this less invasive eyelid lift technique. It only involves removal of excess fat deposits from below the lower eyelids, and not any skin removal. Multiple small incisions will be made inside the lower eyelid. This will reduce any risk of scarring on the outside. Dr. Richards is a well-known cosmetic surgeon receiving patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for eyelid lift surgery.
