Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery using Blepharoplasty has several benefits, including:

  • Eyes appear more youthful and less tired

  • Overall rejuvenation of your appearance

  • Boosts confidence

  • Improves your field of vision

  • Smooths away wrinkles and lines

  • Provides a smoother forehead

  • Improves the symmetry of your eyelids

  • Reduces puffy lids or noticeable under-eye bags

Blepharoplasty Results*

Most people report feeling more confident after their eyelid surgery. You will start to see results and improvements as early as a few weeks after surgery. The full results will be visible within 2 to 6 months. You may notice that you look more youthful, rested, and alert. For some people, surgery results could potentially last a lifetime with no reason ever to have an additional surgery. For others, the drooping or saggy bags can return.

Since you will bruise and swell post-eyelid surgery, you won’t start to see your results until this subsides within 10-14 days. As always, individual results vary per person.* 

Why People Need Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) is a popular cosmetic procedure for the eyelids. As we age, the eyelids can stretch, and the muscles supporting them begin to weaken, causing excess skin and fat to gather above and below the eyelids. This results in sagging eyebrows, droopy eyelids, and bags under the eyes.

Besides cosmetic imperfections, this condition can significantly hinder your peripheral vision, especially the upper and outer parts of the visual field. Blepharoplasty reduces the hooding of the eyelid skin and improves those vision problems. In addition, Blepharoplasty helps millions of people look younger with rejuvenated eyes that look more alert.

What to Expect During a Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure. You may be given injections into the lids to numb them or medication through an IV to help you relax for the procedure.

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty Surgery: During this procedure, the surgeon cuts along the fold of the eyelid. Then, they remove excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat. Finally, they close the incision.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty Surgery: During this procedure, the surgeon makes a cut just below the lashes along the eye’s natural crease or inside the lower lid. Then, they remove or redistribute fat, muscle, or sagging skin. Finally, they close the incision.

If your upper lid droops close to your pupil, your surgeon may combine Blepharoplasty with Ptosis. Ptosis is a treatment for lifting the eyelid as well as removing excess skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Blepharoplasty FAQs

Absolutely. Eyelid surgery is very worth the price if you want to look more youthful, refreshed, and rejuvenated. In addition, if your droopy lids are hindering your field of vision, it is worth it to regain your full peripheral vision.

You will still look like yourself after surgery, only more rejuvenated and refreshed, sometimes even younger. Most people still look the same, just significantly more alert and refreshed, as you can see in some of the Blepharoplasty before and after pictures.

Blepharoplasty may not be suitable for people who suffer from chronic dry eye, hypertension, circulation disorders, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or heart disease. In addition, if you have glaucoma, you should speak in-depth with your doctor about this procedure.

Testimonials
Testimonials
“I am a long-standing patient of Doctor Goldman’s whom I first consulted for a facelift in 2012. Looking freshened and delighted with the results, I returned last year for another surgery which made how I looked match the way I felt. Before, during, and following both procedures Dr. Goldman was attentive, answered questions, and inquired about my comfort. Because of increased wrinkling around my lower face, last week I underwent the Ellacor procedure. Dr. Goldman continued to be his attentive and concerned self. I must add that his staff is delightful! “

“I had a blepharoplasty done in early August by Dr. Goldman, and I am loving the result! I was nervous at first, but Dr. Goldman was patient and attentive, not to mention skilled at his job. The procedure went quickly and was painless. It took about three weeks for me to recover (puffy/swollen eyes and bruising) and for major differences to appear. I would stress that constant icing is critical in the initial healing process. It’s a process I readily recommend, and Dr. G is a pro!”
