BLEPHAROPLASTY
Blepharoplasty
The first signs of aging often emerge around the eyes. If you’re feeling self-conscious about these effects, a blepharoplasty at our Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice can be an excellent way to restore youthfulness in this area.
There are two types of blepharoplasties, which might be performed separately or together.
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Ideal for addressing droopy eyelids, an upper blepharoplasty helps eliminate excess eyelid skin and fat. This revitalizes your appearance for a well-rested look.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: A lower blepharoplasty helps minimize the appearance of under-eye bags and circles that become more noticeable with age. In some cases, this procedure may be combined with laser or chemical peel resurfacing for best outcomes.
Is Blepharoplasty Right For Me?
During your initial consultation at our Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice, Dr. Sean will address your specific concerns to determine if a blepharoplasty is an ideal option. In general, this cosmetic surgery might be a good fit for you if you experience:
- Wrinkling or sagging eyelid skin.
- Under-eye bags or drooping lower eyelids.
- Lost or concealed upper eyelid creases.
- Puffy fat pouches in the upper or lower lids.
- Vision concerns stemming from excess upper eyelid skin and fat obstructing your visual field.
Blepharoplasty Benefits
A blepharoplasty can go a long way in minimizing the signs of aging around your eyes. Potential benefits include:
- Youthful rejuvenation: A blepharoplasty restores the natural contour of the upper eyelids, resulting in tightened skin and enhanced definition.
- Vibrant appearance: By removing the fat deposits that cause puffy and tired-looking eyes, you’re left with a noticeably refreshed look.
- Enhanced vision: In some cases, severe upper lid sagging affects your vision. Eliminating extra skin can improve underlying structures, helping your eyelids stay open and elevated.
What To Expect
A blepharoplasty procedure can last up to two hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. Upper blepharoplasty can be performed using local anesthesia, while lower blepharoplasty usually requires general anesthesia.
After the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild symptoms including eyelid tightness, irritation, or sensitivity to light. Dr. Sean will take the time to review detailed post operative instructions with you, prioritizing your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way.
You may notice initial blepharoplasty results in five to seven days, but improvements often become more apparent over several months to a year. Both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures provide long lasting results.
