Blepharoplasty (90min):
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can improve the appearance of the area around your eyes. It’s a procedure that reduces bagginess from your lower eyelids and removes excess skin from your upper eyelids. As skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity. A lack of elasticity, combined with the relentless pull of gravity, causes excessive skin to collect in your upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can be performed on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.
Blepharoplasty often means removing excess skin, muscle and underlying fatty tissue. But sometimes providers can reposition tissues rather than removing them. While it’s primarily a cosmetic procedure, blepharoplasty can also improve the field of vision in people whose sagging upper eyelids obstruct their visual field.
Thinking about blepharoplasty and wondering what the recovery will be like?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a highly effective procedure for rejuvenating tired, droopy eyes. Whether you’re looking to correct sagging upper eyelids or reduce puffiness in the lower lids, this procedure can give your eyes a refreshed, youthful appearance. But just like with any surgical procedure, understanding the recovery process is key.
