Blepharoplasty in Chicago, IL

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.

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.

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

How much does eyelid surgery cost?

Blepharoplasty costs will vary depending on whether you're having a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. As soon as your treatment plan is decided in your consultation, Dr. Iteld can talk to you about cost estimates. To get natural-looking results that last a long time, it's better to focus on finding an experienced doctor whom you trust, like Dr. Iteld, rather than looking for the lowest cost. To help you afford a great eyelid lift, Iteld Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.

Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?

When hanging skin is limiting your vision, your health insurance may cover some of your blepharoplasty. Please tell Dr. Iteld in your initial consultation if you might be using your insurance. A team member at Iteld Plastic Surgery will help you get the required information and paperwork for your insurance company to process your claim. Generally, you will need a diagnosis from an optometrist or ophthalmologist that an eyelid lift is medically necessary to restore your vision.

What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?

Blepharoplasty not only rejuvenates your appearance but can also improve other aspects of your life. You may discover your field of vision is greater when loose skin on your upper eyelid is gone. Once your upper lid is smooth, it can also be much easier to apply eye shadow and other makeup. Eliminating fine lines, "crepey" skin, dark circles, and puffy bags under your eyes may help your eyes appear brighter and fuller without a lot of makeup.

If you have trouble seeing or applying makeup because of droopy skin, or if you suffer from bulging bags under your eyes, then eyelid surgery at Iteld Plastic Surgery may be the answer for you. This treatment can help you look more youthful and alert while offering a solution to your vision impairment concerns. We invite you to get in touch with our office in Chicago, IL to learn more and schedule a consultation with Dr. Iteld.
