Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) West Linn, OR | Après Plastic Surgery

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns around the eyes. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Aric Aghayan specializes in eyelid surgery that can transform both appearance and vision capabilities.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery targets excess skin that can impair vision and create a tired appearance. The procedure involves strategically placed incisions along natural eyelid creases to remove surplus skin and tissue, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed look.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery addresses issues like under-eye bags, puffiness, and skin laxity. By carefully removing excess fat and tightening skin below the lash line, Dr. Aghayan creates a smoother, more rejuvenated eye contour.

Ideal Candidates

• Individuals with excess upper eyelid skin affecting vision
• Patients experiencing puffiness or bags under the eyes
• Those seeking to improve overall eye appearance
• Adults in good general health

Surgical Expectations

Blepharoplasty typically takes up to two hours, depending on the specific procedure. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, with final results becoming apparent after 1-2 months. Recovery involves rest and following post-operative instructions carefully.

Potential Benefits

• Improved vision by removing excess skin
• More youthful, alert appearance
• Enhanced facial symmetry
• Increased self-confidence

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Aghayan may recommend combining blepharoplasty with non-surgical treatments like BOTOX or dermal fillers to optimize overall results and address fine lines around the eyes.
