Eyelid Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery Options Examined By Top Surgeon
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, around 20 million Americans receive some form of cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, every single year.
In 2020, eyelid surgeries were the second most common cosmetic surgical procedure, performed for either health or aesthetic reasons. In a new awareness campaign, Dr. Harvey “Chip” Cole III, MD, FACS, Quadruple Board Certified Surgeon, examines each of the common procedures and their risks.
Dr. Chip Cole has decades of experience specializing in oculoplastic and cosmetic surgeries of the eyes and face, and is known internationally as "The Eye Guy," for his expertise.
His new campaign explains that most common complications of eyelid surgeries are minor, such as bruising or irritation, but more serious issues can occur in rare circumstances.
Some rare complications may require a second surgical intervention to repair the problem, such as a drooping lower eyelid, or the issue may even be permanent, such as blindness.
Dr. Chip Cole has more than 33 years of experience and has performed over 33,000 surgeries, both reconstructive and rejuvenating.
