Blepharoplasty

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that focuses on improving the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s specific needs and desires. Blepharoplasty can address a variety of concerns, including:

Upper Eyelid Concerns

• Excess skin that creates a heavy, drooping appearance.
• Puffiness caused by fat deposits.
• Sagging or loose skin that can impair vision.

Lower Eyelid Concerns

• Bags under the eyes due to fat deposits.
• Wrinkles and fine lines.
• Dark circles and discoloration.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Let’s explore the typical steps involved in a blepharoplasty procedure:

Consultation

• The process begins with a consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons.
• During this consultation, your surgeon will discuss your goals, evaluate your eyelids, and explain the procedure in detail.

Anesthesia

• Blepharoplasty can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort and the extent of the surgery.

Incisions

• For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are typically made along the natural creases of the eyelids, which helps conceal any scarring.
• For lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), again minimizing visible scarring.

Tissue Adjustment

• Excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to achieve the desired eyelid contour.
• The surgeon pays meticulous attention to symmetry and ensuring a natural appearance.

Closure

• Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical adhesive.
• Your surgeon will take great care to ensure minimal scarring and proper alignment.

Recovery and Results

The recovery process after blepharoplasty can vary from person to person. However, here is a general overview of what to expect:

Immediate Post-Operative Period

• You may experience mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which is normal and expected.
• Discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
• It’s essential to follow post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.

Long-Term Results

• The full results of blepharoplasty become evident as swelling subsides and incisions heal.
• You can expect a refreshed and more youthful appearance with improved eyelid contour.
