After a series of recent public announcements discussing surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and eyelid malposition, the Atlanta surgeon is now addressing some of the most common fears of surgery candidates.
While eyelid surgeries are generally very safe and with minimal recovery times, there are some potential risks if they are performed by inexperienced or unlicensed practitioners, explains Dr. Cole. According to him, the most common pitfalls of eyelid surgery are:
– removing too much fat, which leads to a hollowed look;
– incorrectly placed incisions, which may cause the eyes to seem asymmetrical;
– removing too much skin, which may cause difficulties closing the eyelids.
These complications are extremely rare and should not be a concern if the patient works with an experienced, licensed and certified surgeon, says Dr. Cole.
The Atlanta surgeon recommends that all individuals interested in eyelid surgery contact a certified plastic surgeon for guidance on the best course of action. Depending on their needs, the specialist may recommend blepharoplasty or ptosis repair – two procedures which are often confused – or other types of interventions to correct eyelid malposition.
