Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Rochester, MN | Steven Jacobson

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an upper eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes and refresh the overall facial appearance. The treatment involves carefully adjusting muscles and underlying tissue of the eyelids while lifting and tightening the eye skin.

Signs of Upper Eyelid Aging

Upper-eyelid aging can significantly impact facial appearance and visual perception. Symptoms include:

• Sagging and drooping eyelids
• Loss of eye expression
• Potential peripheral vision impairment
• Flat and dull eye appearance

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

Suitable candidates typically include individuals with:

• Sagging eyelids
• Fine eyelid wrinkles
• Eyelid puffiness
• Potential vision obstruction

Most candidates are middle-aged or older, though younger patients may also qualify. Good physical health and non-smoking status are essential.

Surgical Procedure

Dr. Jacobson performs blepharoplasty with meticulous care, creating a small incision carefully concealed in the eyelid crease. This approach ensures nearly undetectable surgical results that appear natural and beautiful.

Recovery Guidelines

Post-surgical recovery typically involves:

• Minimal bruising and swelling
• Most swelling subsides within two weeks
• Makeup can cover remaining bruising after one week
• Limited discomfort managed with medication

Recovery Recommendations

Patients are advised to:

• Use cold compresses
• Sleep with head elevated
• Apply prescribed ointments
• Avoid strenuous activities for one month
• Protect eyes from direct sunlight
