Blepharoplasty in Austin, TX | Dr. Andre Levesque

Understanding Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are a unique facial feature that deserves careful aesthetic consideration. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Y. Levesque offers blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and lift upper or lower eyelids, creating a more awakened and youthful appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Lift

Eyelid surgery is suitable for men and women experiencing:

• Excess, hanging skin above the eyes
• Skin folds obstructing vision
• Puffy bags under the lower eyelid
• Vision impairment due to drooping skin

Surgical Techniques

Upper Eyelid Procedure

Upper blepharoplasty targets hanging skin by making an incision along the natural lash line or eyelid crease. This technique removes excess tissue and fat to create a more appealing eyelid contour.

Lower Eyelid Procedure

Lower eyelid surgery reduces puffy skin by placing an incision just beneath the lash line. Fatty tissue is carefully removed, and the skin is delicately lifted to produce a smoother appearance.

Procedure Expectations

Eyelid surgery typically lasts up to two hours and requires several days of recovery. Patients should avoid strenuous activities and use ice packs to manage bruising and swelling.

Potential Benefits

• Improved field of vision
• More youthful eye appearance
• Enhanced makeup application
• Reduced fine lines and skin sagging

Complementary Treatments

Dr. Levesque may recommend combining eyelid surgery with nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX or dermal fillers to optimize facial rejuvenation results.
