Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure in which the doctor removes fat and excess skin and muscle from the eyelids. Medical and cosmetic reasons for choosing to have a blepharoplasty procedure performed include:

• Bags under your eyes
• Drooping eyelids
• Vision problems associated with puffy eyelids
• As part of a facelift or browlift

Blepharoplasty is generally performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. Because of the initial bruising associated with the procedure, you will probably not want to go back to work for a week to 10 days after surgery. You will also experience some initial problems with your vision that should disappear in two to three days.

Once you have healed from the surgery, the results are in many cases permanent. You will look and feel younger.

To find out if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty, and to discuss your options, please call us and schedule a consultation at your earliest convenience.
