Blepharoplasty Savannah, GA | Joel Shanklin, MD

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Droopy upper eyelids and puffy bags under the eyes can make individuals look older and more tired than they feel. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is the most commonly performed facial plastic surgical procedure designed to restore a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Surgical Techniques

The eyelid lift procedure involves strategic removal of small amounts of excess skin and fat to transform the eyelid region. RenewalMD utilizes advanced techniques to ensure minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic results.

Procedure Details

• Upper eyelid incision hidden in natural eyelid crease
• Minimal skin, muscle, and fat removal
• Recreates youthful eyelid crease and fold
• Lower eyelid incisions made within eye conjunctiva
• Surgery typically takes approximately one hour

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Many patients choose to combine eyelid lift with additional procedures like facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Meghan McGovern specializes in personalized treatment plans tailored to individual aesthetic goals.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals experiencing excess skin around the eyes, persistent puffiness, or a tired appearance. A comprehensive consultation will determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery times vary, but patients can typically expect minimal scarring and a significant improvement in their eye area's appearance. Fine wrinkles can be further addressed through complementary laser resurfacing techniques.
