What is Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that reduces droopy or sagging skin around the eyelids, or bulging and puffiness under the eyes.
To correct this problem, Dr. Bidar performs Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty, which enlists the help of a highly sophisticated machine to perform both upper and lower eyelid sculpting. This machine uses a 0.2mm incisional laser beam to cut and remove tissue with minimal bleeding. It is also a skin tightening machine that performs wrinkle and skin discoloration reduction.
Benefits of Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty
What are the benefits of using a laser versus a traditional blade? Laser technology is far more advanced than metal blade or scissors in terms of precision. It also cauterizes blood vessels as it cuts, resulting in less bleeding and bruising after surgery.
In addition, the laser has 600 settings tailored to various skin types with different severities of wrinkles or skin discoloration, so it is used to tighten and resurface the loose skin overlying the under eye bags.
The entire procedure for laser-assisted upper or lower eyelid surgery can be performed at once or at different times according to your preference. So far, Mazi Bidar MD have used the laser on over 20,000 eyelids to great satisfaction, and they are excited to be able to share this advanced technology with their patients.
