Understanding Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive Eye Lift Surgery

Blepharoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate puffy, sagging, or tired-looking eyes. This transformative technique removes excess fat, skin, and muscle from upper and lower eyelids, providing both cosmetic enhancement and potential functional vision improvement.

Procedure Overview and Techniques

Dr. Brian D. Cohen performs blepharoplasty using specialized techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The procedure typically involves:

• Local anesthesia with IV sedation
• Strategic incisions in natural eyelid creases
• Precise removal of excess tissue
• Meticulous suturing for minimal scarring

Procedure Options and Approaches

Depending on individual requirements, Dr. Cohen may recommend two primary blepharoplasty approaches:

• Traditional blepharoplasty with external incisions
• Transconjunctival blepharoplasty for minimal visible scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can expect a straightforward recovery process. Typical recovery milestones include:

• Suture removal after 4-5 days
• Return to work within 10 days
• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Restricted contact lens use for two weeks

Complementary Treatments

Blepharoplasty can be combined with complementary treatments like BOTOX® to enhance overall facial rejuvenation, addressing eyebrow positioning and reducing wrinkles around the eye area.
