Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Baton Rouge, LA | Dr. Gary W. Cox, MD

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, provides a comprehensive solution for rejuvenating the appearance of aging eyes. As time passes, wrinkles and sagging eyelids can become prominent, potentially affecting one's self-perception and visual field.

Candidate Qualifications

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty typically experience:

• Noticeable eyelid sagging
• Fine wrinkles on eyelids
• Puffy bags underneath the eyes
• Potential vision obstruction from upper eyelid drooping

Upper Blepharoplasty Techniques

Dr. Cox focuses on addressing three critical aspects of upper eyelid rejuvenation:

• Removing loose eyelid skin
• Eliminating fine wrinkles
• Tightening stretched eyelid muscles

Lower Blepharoplasty Approach

Lower eyelid surgery targets excess fat accumulation that creates a perpetually tired appearance. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Cox carefully repositions or removes fat while maintaining a natural, balanced look.

Surgical Preparation

Patients preparing for blepharoplasty should anticipate:

• Comprehensive medical evaluation
• Medication adjustments
• Temporary cessation of alcohol and smoking
• Avoiding blood-thinning supplements

Recovery Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves managing swelling and bruising through cold compresses, protective eyewear, and diligent sun protection. Patients must arrange transportation home after the procedure.

Cost Considerations

Blepharoplasty costs in Baton Rouge vary based on specific techniques and procedure complexity. A personalized consultation with Dr. Cox will provide detailed pricing information.
