Droopy Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, Ptosis Surgery in Geneva, IL
Is Eyelid Surgery for Ptosis or Eyelid Malposition Right for You?
Ptosis creates a tired look and can interfere with normal field of vision while eyelid malposition creates an aged and unnatural look when the lower eyelid is pulled or hanging low.
If you have been bothered by a tired appearance or think you need correction of your eyelids, we recommend you come to our office for an in-person consultation.
The best candidates for eyelid repositioning display the following characteristics:
- Heavy, droopy upper eyelids
- “Tired” eyes
- Droopy, pulled lower eyelid
- Complications from previous eyelid procedures
What Sets Dr. Geeta Been’s Approach Apart?
Dr. Geeta has unique training as an ophthalmologist with extra sub-specialization in the field of oculoplastic surgery. As a result of her specialization, she has developed experience with the meticulous nature of eyelid repositioning. There is a fine line between achieving natural results and causing complications with eyelid malposition. As an oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Geeta is truly an expert in these types of procedures and takes great care to achieve optimal results.
During your initial consultation, she will perform a thorough eyelid examination to help decide if you are an appropriate surgical candidate. These procedures are performed in the comfort of our own surgical center, meaning you experience the utmost privacy and ease during your time with us. Typically, the procedures are performed using local anesthetic, but we offer you the ability to have your procedure performed under sedation in our operating suite.
