 

EYELID LIFT (BLEPHAROPLASTY) IN ANNAPOLIS, MD

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is the second most popular plastic
surgery procedure in the United States, with over 300,000 surgeries
performed annually. This precise surgical technique removes excess
skin from upper and lower eyelids to improve aesthetic appearance and
potentially restore vision impaired by sagging eyelid skin.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

At Annapolis Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bryan Ambro, a double
board-certified facial plastic surgeon, performs blepharoplasty in the
clinic's procedure suite or at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical
Center.

SURGICAL STEPS

 	* Light sedation or local anesthesia administration
	* Strategic incision placement in natural eyelid creases
	* Precise removal or repositioning of fatty deposits
	* Muscle tightening and excess skin trimming
	* Closure with fine absorbable sutures

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Eyelid surgery typically takes a few hours, with patients returning
home the same day. Most individuals experience mild bruising and
minimal discomfort during the initial 2-3 days. Full recovery
generally takes approximately two weeks, with most patients returning
to work within 5-7 days.

NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES

For patients with mild to moderate signs of eyelid aging, Annapolis
Plastic Surgery offers several non-surgical alternatives:

 	* Dermal Fillers: Eliminate under-eye bags and smooth wrinkles
	* Botox Injections: Reduce crow's feet and improve eye area
appearance
	* Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Minimize fine lines and improve skin
texture
	* Fat Transfer: Restore volume and eliminate hallowing

INSURANCE AND COST CONSIDERATIONS

Blepharoplasty is typically considered a cosmetic procedure. However,
insurance may cover functional or reconstructive aspects when
significant visual impairment is documented. Patients are encouraged
to consult their individual insurance provider for specific coverage
details.
