BLEPHAROPLASTY MANDEVILLE, LA | DR. BENJAMIN J. BOUDREAUX, MD

UNDERSTANDING EYELID SURGERY

Like many individuals, your eyes are a critical physical feature. As
aging progresses, the skin around your eyes weakens and develops
wrinkles. Upper and lower eyelids may sag, creating a tired or upset
appearance and potentially obstructing vision.

BLEPHAROPLASTY CANDIDACY

Typical blepharoplasty candidates are 35 or older, though younger
patients experiencing early eyelid drooping may also be excellent
candidates. Ideal patients seek to:

 	* Diminish signs of aging
	* Reduce wrinkles
	* Address drooping eyelids

UPPER EYELID SURGERY

Upper eyelid procedures address sagging and puffy eyelids by removing
excess fatty tissue. The remaining skin is gently pulled taut to
achieve a more youthful appearance.

LOWER EYELID SURGERY

Lower eyelid surgery targets fat deposits and excess skin. Surgeons
make precise incisions beneath the lower eyelash to remove problematic
tissue, dramatically transforming one's appearance.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Removing excess upper eyelid skin
	* Reducing puffiness
	* Raising sagging eyelids
	* Improving field of vision
	* Creating a more alert appearance

SURGICAL APPROACH

Blepharoplasty is completely customized. Patients can choose to
address upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Local anesthesia is
typically used, with general anesthesia available for patient comfort.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Surgeons create tiny incisions hidden in natural eyelid folds. For
upper eyelids, incisions are made in the eyelid crease. Excess skin is
carefully trimmed, and minor muscle adjustments are performed as
needed.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Recovery typically takes 10-14 days. Patients should prepare with ice
packs, gauze, pain medication, and potentially assistance from a
family member during initial recovery.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Certain medical conditions may impact blepharoplasty candidacy,
including glaucoma, detached retina, dry eyes, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, or thyroid conditions.
