Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty Goal: Blepharoplasty procedure corrects droopy eyelids and puffiness either above (upper blepharoplasty), or below the eyes (lower blepharoplasty).

Blepharoplasty procedure creates a more pleasing look to the eye area by removal of excess skin and fat.
   
Blepharoplasty Method: Excess fat and skin are removed and the muscle reshaped. While we may still use a traditional blepharoplasty procedure on some patients, we typically use a laser blepharoplasty procedure to make an incision on the inside of the eyelid. This method is called transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

Additionally, we may perform an Arcus Marginalis Release to correct dark circles under the eyes.

  Procedure performed under either local or general anesthesia.
   
Recovery from a Blepharoplasty: You may return home the same day.
 

Additionally, you can expect:

  • Sutures removed after 4-7 days
  • Makeup may be used after suture removal
  • Can wear contact lenses after 1 week
  • Bruising may last 2 weeks
  • Swelling may last 3-4 weeks
  • Exercise allowed after 4 weeks
  • Sun exposure after 4 weeks with SPF 30+ sun screen
