  What Is Blepharoplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)<\/strong> is a cosmetic procedure that improves both the appearance<\/strong> and function<\/strong> of the upper and\/or lower eyelids. It provides a refreshed, rejuvenated look with relatively quick recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Upper Eyelid Surgery:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n
  • Removes excess skin and muscle<\/strong> from the upper lid<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • May include removal of fat<\/strong> near the inner eye corner<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A scar is hidden<\/strong> in the natural crease of the upper eyelid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Lower Eyelid Surgery:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    • Usually performed via a transconjunctival incision<\/strong> (inside the eyelid), leaving no visible scar<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Targets fat pads<\/strong> that cause under-eye bags<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In cases of muscle laxity<\/strong>, the orbicularis muscle<\/strong> is tightened and stabilized with a canthopexy<\/strong> (temporary fixation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For excess skin, a minimal subciliary incision<\/strong> may be used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Procedure Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      • An ophthalmological exam<\/strong> may be required if you have a history of chronic dry eyes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Most procedures are performed under neuroleptanalgesia<\/strong> (local anesthesia with IV sedation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • For simpler upper eyelid cases, pure local anesthesia<\/strong> may be used<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • General anesthesia<\/strong> is possible based on patient preference<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Same-day discharge<\/strong>: You’ll go home 3 hours after surgery, with a companion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Recovery & Aftercare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        \n
        • Bruising<\/strong> around the eyes is common for 5 to 15 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Arnica<\/strong> is recommended 3 days before surgery to minimize bruising<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Camouflage makeup<\/strong> can be used to mask discoloration during healing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Our Approach to Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Blepharoplasty is a delicate procedure that requires precise analysis<\/strong> of eyelid anatomy and individualized treatment plans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          • If you have hollow eyes<\/strong>, we avoid removing fat and focus on skin tightening<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If your eyelids are heavy<\/strong>, we may remove both fat and muscle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            We also frequently combine eyelid surgery with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
            • Mini temporal lift<\/strong> (to raise the brow tail)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Facial lipofilling<\/strong> (to restore cheek volume)<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

              Will eyelid surgery change my appearance?<\/h3>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n

              \r\n

              No, a well-executed blepharoplasty does not change the expression or personality of your face. It simply gives you a more rested and alert look.
              \nComplications such as lower eyelid retraction (or \u201cround eye\u201d) are rare and preventable.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n

              \r\n

              \n
              • Upper eyelid surgery has a very low complication rate. Rare issues include corneal irritation or erosion.<\/li>\n
              • Lower eyelid surgery is more delicate. If too much skin is removed, it can lead to eyelid retraction. To avoid this, we:\n
                \n
                • Re-tighten the orbicularis muscle<\/li>\n

                  \r\n

                  Yes \u2014 results are stable over time.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                  • Lower eyelid fat bags rarely return unless there’s a significant weight change<\/li>\n
                  • Upper eyelid skin may sag again after 10 years due to aging
