Meeting with Your Surgeon

As eyelid / eye lift surgery is a very individualized procedure, the first thing we do is listen: we listen to your needs; we ask you to describe, and have you bring in photos of, your ideal look; we use Uniplast™ digital imaging software to show you what you might look like.

Your consultation will also involve a physical examination, including an evaluation of your skin, the underlying bone structure of your face and a careful medical history. Dr. Lista or Dr. Ahmad will spend as much time as you need to make sure both you and your surgeon know exactly what you want. It may not always be possible to meet all your expectations with surgery, so it crucial that you understand what is a realistic outcome.

Your Toronto plastic surgeon will also instruct you on how to prepare for surgery in order to achieve the best result, including guidelines on eating, drinking, and taking certain vitamins and medications. Smokers should plan to stop smoking for a minimum of one or two weeks before surgery and during recovery, as smoking decreases circulation and interferes with proper healing.
