Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Pasadena, CA | Pasadena Surgeons

Understanding Blepharoplasty Procedures

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to remove loose or lax upper and lower eyelid skin. The surgical technique involves repositioning skin and fat to correct aesthetic concerns and rejuvenate the eye area.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Pasadena Surgeons offers upper lid blepharoplasty as a straightforward in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia. The treatment provides significant aesthetic improvements with long-lasting results that can persist up to 10 years or longer.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower lid blepharoplasty is a more complex procedure similar to a mid-face lift. The technique addresses multiple concerns including:

• Tear trough deformity
• Pouching or festooning of lower lid and cheek skin
• Skin laxity and textural irregularities

Procedure Considerations

Pasadena Surgeons recommends lower lid procedures be performed under general anesthesia to minimize potential complications. Recovery for lower lid blepharoplasty may take several months, compared to weeks for upper lid procedures.

Potential Risks and Outcomes

While blepharoplasty offers significant aesthetic improvements, patients should be aware of potential risks such as lower lid scarring (ectropion). Careful surgical technique and patient selection minimize these concerns.
