Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Ridgeland, MS | Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by addressing excess skin and tissue around the upper and lower eyelids. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler offers this transformative treatment to help patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

Key Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

• Removes excess skin that creates an aged appearance
• Improves visual field obstructed by drooping eyelids
• Creates a more alert and rejuvenated facial aesthetic
• Can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both

Blepharoplasty Procedure Details

The surgical approach depends on whether a patient requires upper or lower eyelid correction. For upper eyelids, the incision is strategically placed along the natural crease to minimize visible scarring. Lower eyelid procedures typically involve an incision near the lash line to remove excess fat and tighten skin.

Procedure Considerations

• Typical procedure duration: Up to two hours
• Anesthesia is used for patient comfort
• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Approximately one week of recovery recommended

Customized Surgical Approach in Ridgeland

Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery offers personalized blepharoplasty techniques tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure can address multiple concerns, including sagging skin, puffy under-eye bags, and vision impairments caused by excess eyelid tissue.

Post-Surgical Care

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which can be managed with ice packs and proper rest. While surgical results can last for years, the natural aging process continues, and supplementary non-surgical treatments may help maintain the aesthetic outcome.

Complementary Facial Procedures

Blepharoplasty can be effectively combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as brow lifts, facelifts, and dermal fillers to create a comprehensive facial enhancement strategy.
