Eyes That Shine With Youthful Brightness
Our refined surgical process reduces heavy or puffy eyelids to help you appear younger and gorgeously refreshed.
If you feel discouraged by eyelids that appear puffy, tired, or weighed down by extra skin, you’re not alone. Our blepharoplasty in South Barrington can enhance your confidence with lifted, tighter skin around the eyes. Dr. Renee Burke takes an artistic approach to eyelid surgery, creating results that soften shadows, brighten your gaze, and restore balance to your features.
The Blepharoplasty Process
Consultation
Dr. Burke assesses the tone, shape, and fullness of your upper or lower eyelids. You discuss how eyelid changes affect your appearance and vision, along with your goals for refinement. From there, she designs a personalized surgical plan to safely enhance your facial aesthetics.
Procedure
An upper blepharoplasty uses local anesthesia before removing sagging skin that weighs down the eyelids or causes visual strain. Lower blepharoplasty, performed under general anesthesia, smooths puffiness and tightens delicate skin beneath the eyes. Each technique helps create a soft, balanced result that enhances your expressions without changing your identity.
Recovery
Rest is essential for healing. For the first 2 weeks, avoid wearing makeup on the incisions or strenuous movement, like lifting anything over 10 pounds. Bruising and swelling gently fade, revealing more defined eyelids. Within a few weeks, your gaze may feel lighter while your features reflect your true radiance.
How We Perform Our Surgeries
Precision
Dr. Burke makes every incision and adjustment carefully, customizing your procedure to your unique anatomy and desired degree of correction.
Artistry
We approach every eyelid contour as a new way to frame your expression, revealing the elegance within your features.
Compassion
You deserve to be seen, heard, and valued here. It’s your comfort and trust that shape the way we deliver every step of your care.
Pre-Care Instructions
Cleanse your eyelids gently before surgery. Avoid applying makeup or skincare products on or around the eyes.
Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid blood-thinners before your procedure.
Post-Care Instructions
Follow proper cleansing steps to keep the treatment area clean and dry, protecting the incision and reducing the risk of infection.
Hold off on lifting, exercising, and bending. Allow your body to rest while bruising and swelling subside.
Attend each scheduled follow-up to ensure proper healing. These check-ins give you support as your eyelids reveal their new shape.
