Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Miami Lakes, FL

Understanding Blepharoplasty: What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair drooping eyelids by removing excess fat, muscle, and skin. As individuals age, the muscles surrounding the eyes weaken, causing fat accumulation above and below the eyelids, resulting in sagging eyebrows and droopy lids.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Reduces under-eye bags
• Expands line of sight and improves vision
• Refreshes appearance by enhancing eye shape
• Removes excess fat around eyes
• Creates a more youthful, well-rested look
• Minimizes undereye dark circles
• Reduces fine lines around lower eyelids and eye corners

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Typically, candidates are over 35 years old with realistic expectations and good overall health. Some patients may choose the procedure earlier due to hereditary droopy eyelids. Miami Lakes Plastic Surgery recommends a comprehensive consultation to discuss individual goals and surgical options.

Blepharoplasty Procedure Details

The surgical procedure usually takes approximately two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. Surgeons strategically follow natural eyelid lines to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat, with minimal scarring.
