What to Expect From Blepharoplasty

Approaches to minimize or reduce the effects of aging can take many forms, but few are as effective as blepharoplasty, a procedure specifically designed to create a youthful and natural appearance in patients. Also known as eyelid surgery or an eyelift, blepharoplasty involves removing excess and sagging skin from around the eyes, thereby providing patients with beautiful and vibrant eyes that are sure to turn heads!

Before a Blepharoplasty Procedure

The most important aspect in scheduling a blepharoplasty procedure is knowing precisely which type of procedure you want performed. Blepharoplasty can take many forms, and each form is designed to correct a certain area around the eyes.
Upper lid blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excessive skin and folds from the inside corner of the upper eyelids. In certain patients, this excess skin is so loose that it obstructs vision! Lower lid blepharoplasty, on the other hand, is performed on a patient’s lower eyelids, and is done to correct eyelid puffiness or to remove fatty deposits. Lower lid blepharoplasty is also a great option for patients who have dark circles under their eyes. Other forms of blepharoplasty include revision blepharoplasty, Asian blepharoplasty, and male blepharoplasty.

Obviously, the best way to determine which type of procedure is right for you is by consulting with one of the expert eye surgeons at the Beverly Hills Medical Center. Our surgeons can perform a thorough consultation to decide which procedure would be the most beneficial to you!

After a Blepharoplasty Procedure

After blepharoplasty has been performed, patients will not be allowed to drive home, due to the lingering effects of anesthesia and because of eye soreness and sensitivity. Before the procedure, it’s imperative that patients make post-surgical driving arrangements, such as a friend or family member who can drive you home. Doing so will allow patients to return home safely and begin their recovery process in the care of a close friend of a loved one.

Swelling and bruising should be expected after surgery, but will normally disappear within a day or two. By following their surgeon’s post-operative instructions, patients will enjoy a fast recovery. Overall, the recovery period for blepharoplasty is quite minimal, and patients can expect to return to everyday activities within 7 to 10 days after surgery!
