Procedures to Enhance Your Eyes In Bellevue and Seattle Your eyes are the first thing others see when they look at you.  Do friends and co-workers constantly ask why you look so tired all the time? Are you feeling the competitive pressure at work from your younger colleagues? Droopy, sagging upper lids and puffy lower lids can make you look tired and older than you really are. Eyelid surgery can freshen your look and take years off your appearance! As an experienced eyelid and facial surgeon, Dr. Stern uses the latest techniques to improve your appearance

Traditional eyelid procedure or Laser?

For a mild to moderate amount of excess skin, a simple laser treatment of the upper eyelids without any incisions or stitches may be all that is required. For those with heavy or droopy upper eyelids, an incision may be necessary to remove the excess skin and fat, giving your eyes a more open, brighter appearance.

With the heaviness gone, not only should you look less tired, but many of our patients feel as though they see more of their field of vision as well.

For puffy lower eyelids, depending upon your specific condition, Dr. Stern often utilizes the laser using an innovative “sutureless” technique.

No Telltale Scars:

Dr. Stern uses the laser to make an incision from the inside of the eyelid, removing the fat pockets that form the bags of the lower lids. Loose skin and wrinkles of the lower lids and crows feet may be treated with the laser as well, to smooth and tighten the skin.

The lids generally heal much more quickly than the traditional method without any telltale scars, and with less bruising and swelling.

This may enable you to return to work and normal activities much more quickly. Most important, the aging, puffy, tired appearance disappears and your eyes appear refreshed with youth and vitality!

In general, most eyelid surgeries take about one to two hours, and are performed on an outpatient basis, in our state-of-the-art, JCAHO-certified procedure room, ensuring your safety, comfort and convenience.
