Understanding Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) in Ellicott City

Blepharoplasty is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of puffy, sagging, or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin, and tissue from the upper and lower eyelids.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Daniel Markmann performs eyelid lift procedures to address aesthetic concerns and functional vision issues. The surgery can be customized to meet each patient's unique needs, focusing on:

• Reducing droopy or sagging eyelids
• Removing under-eye bags
• Improving peripheral vision
• Creating a more youthful, alert appearance

Types of Eyelid Lift Procedures

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery addresses droopiness, wrinkles, and mild puffiness. Dr. Markmann carefully makes an incision along the eyelid crease, allowing precise skin and muscle tightening while maintaining natural eye functionality.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid procedures target fat accumulation and skin laxity beneath the eyes. By making a discreet incision, Dr. Markmann removes excess fat and tightens underlying muscles to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal candidates for eyelid lift surgery are typically:

• 40 years or older
• Experiencing vision obstruction from droopy eyelids
• Seeking cosmetic improvements around the eyes
• In good overall health

Procedure and Recovery

The eyelid lift procedure typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. Patients can expect minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within 3-7 days.

Expected Results

Patients can anticipate a more youthful, refreshed appearance with improved eye contour and potentially enhanced peripheral vision. Final results become fully visible after several months of healing.
