Understanding Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional performance of the eyelids. Dr. Jared C. Storck's practice offers advanced surgical techniques to remove excess skin, reduce herniated fat pads, and restore a more youthful eye contour.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

• Healthy individuals without serious medical complications
• Patients without significant eye disorders
• Non-smokers
• Individuals with realistic aesthetic expectations

Surgical Procedure Details

Upper Eyelid Surgery Technique

The upper eyelid procedure involves a strategic incision within the natural eye crease, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Excess skin is carefully removed, and fat pads are precisely dissected and extracted. When necessary, muscle repair for ptosis can be performed to enhance functional outcomes.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Approach

Lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags through an incision beneath the lash line. Protruding fat pads are removed, and excess skin is delicately trimmed and repositioned to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Procedure Duration and Recovery

Typical blepharoplasty surgery takes approximately one hour per eyelid. Patients can expect initial recovery within two weeks, with complete healing and final results developing over several months. Most individuals return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, blepharoplasty carries potential risks including temporary vision blurriness, dry eyes, swelling, and rare complications such as infection. Dr. Storck provides comprehensive pre-and post-operative guidance to minimize risks and optimize surgical outcomes.

Long-Term Results

Blepharoplasty results are designed to be long-lasting, though natural aging processes continue. Patients can expect significant improvement in eyelid appearance and function, with final aesthetic refinement developing over 6-12 months.
