Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty is cosmetic eyelid surgery, which improves the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This can treat loose, sagging skin of the upper eyelids causing a tired appearance or actually impairing vision. It can also remove fatty deposits of the upper and lower eyelids, removing the so-called bags under the eyes.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

• You have loose, excess, sagging skin of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision.
• You have excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids.
• You have bags under the eyes.
• You have excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids.

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

• The procedure is done as an outpatient under sedation.
• The incisions are made in the natural creases of the upper eyelid and just under the lash line of the lower eyelid.
• Excess fat and skin are removed.

RECUPERATION AND HEALING

• Sutures are few and removed in three to four days and makeup can then be used.
• Drops will be used in the eyes for two to three days.
• Ice pads are usually used for the first 24 hours.
• Bruising is variable, but can last up to two to three weeks.
• Contacts can be worn usually within two weeks.
• Pain is minimal.
