Blepharoplasty in Chicago, IL
What Is Blepharoplasty?
If you ask people which feature of theirs is the most appealing, many will tell you that it's their eyes. However, some individuals struggle with sagging skin above or around the eyes, which can produce a tired, angry, or overall unflattering look. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lawrence Iteld specializes in eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) to lift and tighten the lower or upper eyelids, creating a more "alert" look. Whether it's performed on the upper or lower lids, blepharoplasty creates a fresh, youthful appearance and can produce subtle yet noticeable improvements. If you are interested in refreshing your eyes by removing excess skin, schedule a consultation with Dr. Iteld at our office in Chicago, IL.
How Does Blepharoplasty Work?
Blepharoplasty may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both upper and lower.
- Upper
Upper blepharoplasty assists in removing sagging skin to create a more awakened and appealing look while also removing any obstacles to your vision. An incision is usually made along the lid crease to remove loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Lower eyelid surgery is performed to reduce puffy and bulging skin beneath the lower lid. In most cases, an incision is placed along the lash line to allow access to remove fatty tissue, and the skin is subtly lifted to create a flatter, smoother look.
At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we're proud to perform eyelid surgery using non-narcotic medications to keep you comfortable during and after your procedure without the risks that come with opioids. As a result, most patients are able to get by after their surgery with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
A customized eyelid lift at our Chicago, IL office can provide both functional and aesthetic improvements with benefits that include:
- Improving vision by removing obstacles to sight
- Diminishing lumps in the lower lids
- Reducing sagging and/or hanging skin in the upper and lower eyelids
- Creating a more awakened, aware look
- Boosting comfort by eliminating friction from skin creases
- Amplifying the contour and look of the eyes
- Attaining a more youthful, rejuvenated look
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!
I had top-surgery done by Dr. Iteld and could not be happier with the results! He is a rockstar. I had a double incision with free nipple grafts and everything has healed so well. Dr. Iteld and the professionals working with him were extremely helpful, supportive, and kind throughout this entire process. They are quick to respond to questions and concerns, and genuinely care about what you are looking to get out of their services. I felt listened to and cared for while in their hands. Could not recommend Dr. Iteld enough!
i had a great experience with Dr. Iteld and his office! Everyone was kind and helpful, my experience was smooth and as easy as i can imagine a surgery being! Thank you!
275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!
