Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Austin, TX | Skin Science Soul by Dr. Sholar

Understanding Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive Eyelid Rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns surrounding the eyelids. Age and genetic factors can contribute to drooping, sagging, and excess skin around the eyes, which may cause both cosmetic and visual complications.

Procedure Benefits

• Eliminates under-eye bags
• Removes upper eyelid puffiness
• Reduces excess skin surrounding the eyes
• Restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance

Candidacy for Eyelid Surgery in Austin

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are non-smoking adults in good overall health with realistic expectations. During a comprehensive consultation, Skin Science Soul will assess your facial tissues and eye muscles to determine procedural suitability.

Medical Considerations

Certain medical conditions can impact the healing process or increase surgical risks. Conditions such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, dry eye, cardiovascular disease, thyroid disorders, and diabetes may affect candidacy. Transparent communication with the surgical team is crucial.

Surgical Procedure Details

The blepharoplasty procedure at Skin Science Soul is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons strategically create incisions along natural eyelid creases or lower lash lines, allowing precise removal of excess skin, muscle tightening, and fat redistribution.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-operative instructions are critical for optimal healing. Patients can expect initial eye coverage with gauze and lubricating ointment. Topical and oral medications may be prescribed to prevent infection. Mild swelling and bruising are normal, with most discomfort resolving within several weeks.

Complementary Procedures

Patients often combine blepharoplasty with additional rejuvenation treatments such as Subnovii, Ultherapy, and Fractional Laser Resurfacing to enhance overall facial aesthetics.
