Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in St Simons Island, GA

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of eyelids by addressing structural and aesthetic concerns. Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive eyelid surgery to rejuvenate the eye area and enhance facial appearance.

Common Eyelid Concerns Addressed

• Loose or sagging upper eyelid skin
• Fatty deposits causing eyelid puffiness
• Under-eye bags
• Fine wrinkles around the lower eyelid

Upper vs Lower Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty targets excess skin and muscle that can impair vision or create an aged appearance. In some cases, insurance may cover the procedure if visual impairment is documented through specialized testing.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower blepharoplasty focuses on removing under-eye bags and tightening skin in the delicate lower eyelid area. While typically considered cosmetic, the procedure can significantly improve facial appearance and patient confidence.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery offers alternatives such as:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers for under-eye treatment
• AccuTite radiofrequency procedure
• Skin tightening treatments

Procedure Considerations

During a comprehensive consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Diane Bowen will evaluate individual facial anatomy and recommend the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique needs.

Typical Procedure Details

• Average surgical time: 1-2 hours
• Performed under local or general anesthesia
• Typical recovery: 3-4 weeks
