Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Your Eyes

At Antell Plastic Surgery, the eyes are recognized as one of the most expressive features, reflecting personal vitality and emotion. Dr. David J. Antell, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience, specializes in Blepharoplasty, a precise surgical procedure designed to address aging around the eyes.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. This surgical technique can:

• Correct droopy eyelids
• Eliminate puffiness and under-eye bags
• Potentially improve vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelids

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Optimal candidates for Blepharoplasty are individuals who are in good overall health, do not smoke, and maintain realistic expectations. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing:

• Excess skin around the eyes
• Vision impairment due to drooping eyelids
• Persistent under-eye bags
• Desire for a more alert and refreshed appearance

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Antell performs Blepharoplasty using advanced techniques that ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking results. The procedure involves strategic incisions along natural eyelid creases, allowing precise removal or repositioning of skin and fat.

Procedure Flexibility

Blepharoplasty can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like brow lifts or facelifts to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancement. During the initial consultation, Dr. Antell will develop a personalized surgical strategy aligned with the patient's aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Results

Typical recovery involves mild swelling and bruising, manageable with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with long-lasting results that can significantly improve eye appearance for many years.
