Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address excess skin around the eyes and eyelids. This treatment reduces sagging skin that may hang over the upper lash line or create under-eye bags, ultimately restoring a more rested and youthful appearance.

Procedure Benefits

• Restores a rested, more youthful appearance
• Corrects potential vision impairments
• Smooths the area around the eyes
• Improves self-confidence

Blepharoplasty Procedure Variations

• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Comprehensive upper and lower blepharoplasty

Surgical Recovery Process

After the surgical procedure, patients are initially taken to a recovery room to allow anesthesia to wear off. Patients will require assistance driving home and will receive specific post-operative care instructions.

Typical recovery involves:

• Antibiotic ointment application
• Pain management medication
• Stitch removal within one week
• Complete recovery in approximately two weeks

Post-Surgical Guidelines

Patients can typically return to work after initial recovery, avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activities for several weeks. Following detailed recovery instructions ensures optimal healing and results.
