The first step is to get in touch! Our team will be happy to assist in scheduling a consultation for you to come in and meet with Dr. Lewen one-on-one. Dr. Lewen will answer any questions you may have regarding our Miami lower eyelid surgery during your consultation and will evaluate each case individually to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment to address your concerns while providing you with the most natural-appearing results.
If Dr. Lewen determines that a lower blepharoplasty is a good surgical option for you, he will provide you with an individualized treatment plan that includes this procedure, as well as any other complementary procedures to help give you the refreshed look that you desire.
Dr. Lewen requires all cosmetic eyelid surgery patients to have a full eye exam with dilation completed within 6 months before scheduling surgery. Surgery should be scheduled for a time when you can relax for at least one to two weeks. It is important to avoid any strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or bending down during this time to avoid complications and to promote the best healing situation. It is also important to avoid taking any blood-thinning medications for at least two weeks prior to surgery. Dr. Lewen’s staff will review a list of common medications, supplements, and vitamins that can cause your blood to be thinner.
Please note: If you have been placed on a blood-thinning medication by your doctor for a medical reason, you will have to ask your doctor’s permission before stopping any such medications. This includes aspirin and any other blood thinners.
It’s vital that you’re as open and honest about your surgical goals with Dr. Lewen as possible. Great communication always leads to the best results.
