Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. Molly F. Walsh, DO

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is an advanced eyelid surgery designed to remove excess skin and lift the upper or lower eyelids, creating a softer, more youthful appearance. At Forma Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in customized eyelid procedures that enhance both aesthetic appearance and functional vision.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

A custom-tailored blepharoplasty procedure offers comprehensive benefits, including:

• Improving peripheral vision by removing excess skin
• Reducing sagging eyelid skin
• Creating a more alert and youthful look
• Removing under-eye bags
• Enhancing overall eye aesthetic
• Diminishing dark circles

Procedure Types: Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty removes droopy skin over the eye, creating a more awakened appearance. Surgeons carefully place incisions along the natural eyelid crease to optimize healing and minimize visible scarring.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery reduces bulging skin and fat deposits beneath the lower lid. Incisions are strategically made below the lash line or inside the eyelid to produce a smoother, more refined contour.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals experiencing excess, hanging skin on upper eyelids or bulging bags under the eyes. These conditions can cause functional vision difficulties and aesthetic concerns that impact daily life and self-confidence.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minor swelling and bruising that typically resolves within 10-14 days. Sutures are removed 5-7 days post-procedure, with detailed aftercare instructions provided to optimize healing and surgical results.

Complementary Treatments

Blepharoplasty can be combined with nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX® or dermal fillers to address additional facial rejuvenation goals. During consultation, surgeons develop personalized treatment plans tailored to individual aesthetic objectives.
