Blepharoplasty is the procedure used to correct drooping eyelids. This is important as we age in regard to visual fields. A drooping lid can cause disruption of the amount that we see when we look up or to the sides and cause difficulty in daily activities, especially, driving. It is relatively frequent that we find ourselves fixing the hanging or drooping upper eyelids to improve patients’ vision, and these procedures are usually insurance related.
The lower eyelids, usually done for cosmetic purposes, can become involved with bags, which represent fat that herniates around the globe. When the extra skin, muscle, and fat is removed, this is called a lower blepharoplasty. A procedure to tighten the lid against the globe is frequently carried out concomitantly. These procedures are relatively minor, done either under local anesthesia or with local anesthesia and some sedation. The recovery period is 1 to 2 weeks with some expected black and blue around the surgery sites. The incision sites and resultant scarring fade over a short period of time. Again, should the patients require further information, especially, information about insurance coverage for any of these, contacting our office would be an effective way of pursuing this.
Hands down this is the most amazing plastic surgery office! No haggling and Dr. Jacobs will not perform a surgery if the scar exceeds the benefit. His words exactly which is exactly what I want to know ahead of time not after the surgery is done. Dr. Jacobs is a phenomenal surgeon and I trust him 150%. Felecia his nurse is as wonderful as Dr. Jacobs!!
I visited Dr. Johnathan Jacob's Office to see about getting a Lipoma removed from my upper left shoulder. After meeting Dr. Jacob's he discussed
with me what needed to be done to remove it. I was very happy with the surgery and how good a surgeon he is. I was very satisfied with the procedure and the outcome. I was happy with his staff also they took good care of me. ???
I am very pleased with Dr. Alspaugh and staff. I appreciate his honesty and his ability to give good advice. He was very professional and made sure I was comfortable. I’m looking forward to working hard and encouraged to start on this new journey to improve my look and my health...all in one. He’s so amazing.
Felicia is the absolute BEST. If you enjoy the feeling when people say, “You look too young to have a 19 year old.” Then book an appointment with Felicia immediately. She’s the sweetest human being on the planet and excellent at her job.
