Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Ridgeland, MS | David Steckler MD, FACS

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by addressing excess skin and tissue around the upper and lower eyelids. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler offers this transformative treatment at his Ridgeland, MS office to help patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

Procedure Overview

Eyelid surgery can target multiple areas of concern, including:

• Drooping upper eyelid skin
• Puffy under-eye bags
• Sagging skin that impairs vision
• Tired or aged eye appearance

Surgical Approach

Dr. Steckler performs blepharoplasty with meticulous precision, utilizing strategic incision placement along natural skin creases. Depending on patient needs, the procedure can address upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both in a single surgical session.

Blepharoplasty Procedure Details

The surgical process typically involves the following steps:

• Administration of anesthesia
• Careful tissue and skin removal
• Gentle lifting and repositioning of eyelid structures
• Precise wound closure

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately one week. Post-surgical care includes using ice packs to manage swelling and allow proper healing. While results can last several years, the natural aging process continues, and complementary nonsurgical treatments can help maintain the surgical outcome.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals experiencing:

• Excess skin obscuring natural eye contours
• Functional vision impairment due to drooping eyelids
• Desire for a more alert and youthful appearance

Related Facial Procedures

Patients often combine blepharoplasty with complementary procedures such as brow lifts, facelifts, and microneedling to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
