As we all know, the eyes are a prominent facial feature. Although the eyes themselves show little expression, the surrounding skin strongly conveys emotion. The tissue, muscle, fat, hair and lashes all contribute to a wide array of expressions. Unfortunately, wrinkles and deep lines as well as puffiness under the lids develop as we age. Exposure to the sun and hereditary factors may contribute to the aging process as well. We may look fatigued, worn out and older than our true age. These changes in our appearance can cause stress and anxiety.

Dr. Kewitt is trained in surgical procedures like blepharoplasty, forehead lifts, and brow lifts, that can help eliminate the majority of these problems.

Before Surgery

To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes and face are made in order to understand what may be the most effective surgical approach. The amount, distribution and type of excess skin to be removed are carefully reviewed.

Dr. Kewitt will provide you with pre-operative instructions that will include the elimination of specific drugs containing aspirin several weeks before surgery to minimize bleeding. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to prevent infection.

The areas that will be excised are marked and digital photographs and computer imaging is performed in order to estimate the amount of improvement after surgery.
