Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of your eyes by addressing sagging skin, puffiness, and droopy eyelids. Whether you want to refine your upper or lower eyelids, this surgery can help you achieve a refreshed, youthful look. It can also enhance vision if sagging skin is obstructing your sight.

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a great candidate for blepharoplasty if you have loose or sagging skin around your eyes, drooping upper eyelids, or bags under your eyes. If you’re in good health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about the outcome, this procedure could be perfect for you.

Types of Eyelid Surgeries

•Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Targets sagging skin or fat that affects your vision or appearance.

•Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Reduces bags and puffiness under the eyes for a smoother look.

•Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Often sought for creating a crease in the upper eyelid, common in certain ethnicities.

What Should I Expect After My Cosmetic Surgery?

After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which typically subsides in a week or two. You’ll need someone to help you get home and possibly assist for a day or two as you recover. Our team will provide post-surgery care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

How Long is Recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 10-14 days. The swelling will diminish over time. While the initial healing phase is quick, full recovery may take a few weeks as the scars fade.

Are the Results Permanent?

While blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results, it cannot stop the natural aging. However, most patients enjoy their enhanced appearance for years before considering additional treatments.
