Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Little Rock, AZ | Wright Plastic Surgery: Dr. Eric Wright

Understanding Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are one of the first features people notice, and aging can cause the eye area to look tired and worn. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, offers a solution for patients experiencing sagging skin, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eyes.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eye area by addressing various aesthetic concerns. Dr. Eric Wright performs this procedure on both upper and lower eyelids to help patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

Conditions Treated by Eyelid Surgery

• Loose, sagging skin drooping over the eye
• Puffiness in the upper eyelids
• Bags below the eyes
• Sagging skin or hollowness beneath the eyes
• Excess skin and wrinkles around the eyelids

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

Wright Plastic Surgery evaluates patients for eyelid surgery based on specific criteria. Ideal candidates are typically:

• In overall good health
• Non-smokers
• Experiencing vision obstruction due to drooping skin
• Seeking to address excessive under-eye bags or lid wrinkling

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Dr. Wright performs eyelid surgery as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed in natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring. The procedure involves removing excess skin, adjusting fatty deposits, and smoothing wrinkles.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising that gradually subsides within the first week. Sutures are typically removed after 5-7 days, with most patients returning to normal activities within two weeks. Dr. Wright provides personalized post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Combining Procedures

Blepharoplasty can be effectively combined with other anti-aging procedures like facelifts to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During the consultation, Dr. Wright will discuss potential complementary treatments tailored to individual aesthetic goals.
