Advanced Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills, CA

Understanding Blepharoplasty: Surgical Eye Rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids. Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive eyelid surgery that restores a more energetic and youthful appearance through precise, minimally invasive techniques.

Surgical Approach for Upper Eyelids

During upper eyelid blepharoplasty, surgeons make a fine incision within the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin and muscle are carefully removed, along with any fatty deposits causing puffiness. The incision is then meticulously closed using fine stitches, which are typically removed within one week.

Lower Eyelid Technique: Fat Repositioning

Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery employs advanced fat repositioning techniques for lower eyelid surgery. This approach prevents a hollow appearance by strategically repositioning fatty deposits, ensuring a natural and refreshed look.

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

• Patients with excessive upper eyelid skin affecting vision
• Individuals experiencing under-eye bags or dark circles
• Those seeking to restore a more youthful eye contour

Procedure Details

Blepharoplasty typically takes one to two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure often complements other facial rejuvenation techniques like mid-facelift or endoscopic browlift.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect minimal discomfort and a recovery period of approximately two weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually subside, revealing a fresher, more rested appearance. Most patients return to work within a week while following specific post-operative care instructions.

Potential Combination Procedures

• Endoscopic subperiosteal midface lift
• Transcutaneous skin pinch
• Transconjunctival orbicularis oculi excision

Long-Term Outcomes

Blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results, as removed fat does not regrow. Patients typically experience improved aesthetic appearance and potentially enhanced peripheral vision.
