How do eyelids age?

As you age, the skin around your forehead and eyes can stretch, which can cause your eyelids to wrinkle or touch lashes. In addition, tissues around the eyeball can herniate through deeper layers, resulting in visible lumps or bulges.

What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is surgery to restore youthfulness to the eyelids and accentuate the beauty of your eyes. This treatment smooths and trims the areas around the eye, creating a more youthful aesthetic you.

What are the two types of blepharoplasty?

The two types of blepharoplasty are upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Who is a good candidate for blepharoplasty?

Prospective candidates are healthy and have extra skin folds or puffiness of the eyelid.

Are there any conditions that can limit receiving a blepharoplasty?

The following considerations may affect your ability to receive this treatment:

  • Use of blood thinners will need to be discussed with your physician to ensure that you can receive the surgery safely.
  • Severe dry eye will need to be addressed with your physician.
  • A history of keloid (thick raised scar) formation

How long does a blepharoplasty take?

A typical blepharoplasty procedure can take between 45 minutes to two hours depending on whether it is performed on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both.

How is blepharoplasty performed?

An upper blepharoplasty eyelid surgery involves the following steps:

Step 1: The patient is administered medication for comfort.

Step 2: Incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelid and excess skin or bulges are adjusted to improve contours.

Step 3: The incisions are closed with sutures.

What is my downtime?

Most patients use ice for three days after surgery. Most are also comfortable by the third day, but bruising and swelling means you should plan on being off work at least for one full week.

Are there limitations to blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty will not remove every fine wrinkle from under your eyes. Attempts to do this would result in pulling the eyelid away from the eye, creating an odd “surgical” look. “Crow’s feet," at the outer extent of the eye, are also not eliminated by this type of surgery. Residual wrinkling of the upper and lower eyelids would require correction with a chemical peel, laser skin rejuvenation, or a regular toxin injections.

Does blepharoplasty treat drooping brow?

Please be aware that drooping of the brow is not addressed with blepharoplasty. In such cases, we would also recommend a browlift to provide the most pleasing aesthetic result. With the brow being the top of the lid, lifting the brow is a common companion to blepharoplasty.
