Understanding Blepharoplasty: Eyelid Rejuvenation Procedure

A person's eyes are a beautiful facial feature, but excess skin can create a tired appearance. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the lower or upper eyelids, creating a softer and rejuvenated look. Dr. Jerry Chidester specializes in this technique to reduce puffy bulges, improve function, and enhance aesthetic appearance.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Improving vision by expanding line of sight
• Creating an alert, more awake look
• Tightening sagging or drooping eyelids
• Removing under-eye bags
• Lightening dark circles
• Creating a more youthful appearance
• Increasing eye comfort

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Chiddy evaluates each patient's unique conditions during consultation. Ideal candidates typically have:

• Excess sagging skin
• Folds above the eyes
• Bulging skin below the bottom eyelid

Surgical Procedure Details

Blepharoplasty can be performed on upper or lower eyelids, or both. The procedure involves carefully placed incisions to remove excess skin and tissue, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Upper Eyelid Technique

Upper eyelid surgery reduces hanging skin by making an incision along the natural lid crease. This approach minimizes visible scarring while effectively addressing drooping skin.

Lower Eyelid Technique

Lower eyelid correction targets puffy and bulging skin. Dr. Chidester makes an incision along the lash line to remove excess tissue and subtly lift the skin for a smoother contour.

Recovery and Expectations

The procedure typically takes up to two hours, with a recovery period of about one week. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and manage post-surgical symptoms.

Long-Term Results

Blepharoplasty results can last a decade or longer. While aging continues, the surgical improvements remain significant. Dr. Chidester can recommend complementary non-surgical treatments to maintain results.
