What’s the First Step?
The first step in getting upper eyelid surgery in Tampa is to call Ravive Plastic Surgery and schedule a consultation with Dr. Bhat. When you come in, Dr. Bhat will discuss your goals and concerns and assess your upper eyelids to design a treatment plan for you. The consultation is the perfect time to ask any questions you may have, learn about the intricacies of the procedure, and talk about pain management during and after the surgery. We will also take some photos of your eyes to compare with after surgery.
Dr. Bhat will be able to use all of this information to create your surgical plan, after which our patient coordinator will help you schedule your surgical appointment. You will also be given instructions to follow before surgery to help make it as successful as possible, including avoiding certain medications like blood thinners, removing any eyebrow piercings, and avoiding sun exposure.
