1. Plastic Surgeons Charleston SC Are You Looking Tired
Plastic Surgeons Charleston SC, our eyes are one of the first places to show the signs of age and gravity,
often making us appear sad, mad, or tired. Fortunately, eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a quick,
straight forward surgical treatment that is easy to recover from and has minimal risk with virtually no
down time.

The procedure involves the excision of redundant skin and possibly the underlying fat pads, as well as a
small portion of the orbicularis muscle. Traditionally the upper eyelid procedure is performed via a
transcutaneous meaning through the skin incision.
The lower eyelid procedure may be performed through a transcutaneous or transconjunctival meaning
through the inner lining of the lower eye lid. The approach is determined based on the amount of
redundant skin present and the laxity of the lower eyelid.
This simple and safe procedure, which may be done under local anesthetic, has a dramatic improvement
in the overall appearance of the patient. While subtle, patients look well rested, less tired and happier
without the baggy appearance of their eyelids.
Ultimately, Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty provides an opportunity to look younger and more
attractive for a moderate surgical fee, low risk and short recovery.
