Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Eye Appearance

Aging affects the delicate skin around the eyes, causing sagging, loose skin that can impact both appearance and vision. Blepharoplasty offers a comprehensive solution to address age-related changes in the eyelid region.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a specialized cosmetic surgery procedure targeting the upper and lower eyelids. The treatment aims to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and create a more youthful, refreshed eye appearance.

Procedure Details

Faulkner Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics performs blepharoplasty using local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically takes less than two hours, with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Brent Faulkner making precise incisions along natural eyelid folds to minimize visible scarring.

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

• Individuals with sagging lower eyelids
• Patients experiencing heavy, hooded upper eyelids
• Those with vision obstruction due to excess eyelid skin
• Patients in good overall health

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return home the same day following surgery. Mild discomfort is normal, and over-the-counter pain relief is typically sufficient. Patients must follow specific post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
