Eyelid Surgery

Request A Consultation

As part of the aging process, skin loses elasticity, and collagen production slows down. Not only does this lead to the formation of wrinkles, but it also leads to loose, sagging skin as well. This loose eyelid skin can not only make people look as though they are constantly tired, but it can also add years to the face and may have adverse effects on one’s vision. In Lansing, Blepharoplasty – better known as eyelid surgery – is a surgical procedure that can reduce bags under the eyes and lift the skin on the upper eyelid.

Eyelid Surgery in East Lansing

Eyelid surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes one to two hours to complete. During the procedure, excess fat, muscle and skin are removed from the eyelids to create a tighter, more youthful looking appearance. Stitches are placed to close the incisions and must remain for about a week. It is important to note that incisions are strategically placed so that scarring is minimal and virtually invisible once the stitches are removed and the incisions are healed. Slight swelling or bruising following surgery is common and can be managed with ice packs. Dr. Colony preforms eyelid surgery for patients in the Brighton, East Lansing, and Grand Ledge areas. Recovery times after surgery do vary from patient to patient, but most people are able to return to work in two weeks or even less.

Patient Testimonials

I am beyond thrilled with my choice of a plastic surgeon. Dr. Colony is not only incredibly smart and he's got the bedside manner going for him which is quite hard to find in surgeons. I have not only recommended Colony to many friends, but I've actually realized a couple of friends had gone to him before without me realizing.

Dr. Colony and his staff are amazing. I have called at least 7 times with questions for them (I am getting surgery in May) and they have been so patient, informative, and kind to me. The best part is that they take health and safety very seriously. They care about the patient and care about the work they do and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in plastic surgery.

Dr. Colony is hands down the most gifted plastic surgeon around!
