Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) South Miami, FL | Alexander Zuriarrain, MD, FACS

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Miami

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to address aging-related changes around the eyes. As facial muscles weaken and collagen production decreases, the eye area often shows the most prominent signs of aging.

Types of Blepharoplasty Procedures

• Upper Blepharoplasty: Addresses excess skin and muscle on upper eyelids
• Lower Blepharoplasty: Removes fat and excess skin from lower eyelids
• Double or "Asian" Blepharoplasty: Enhances eyelid contours and crease definition

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty offers multiple aesthetic and functional advantages:

• Tighter, more lifted eye appearance
• Brighter, more alert eye look
• Potential improvement in vision for patients with severely drooping eyelids

Blepharoplasty Candidacy in South Miami

Dr. Zuriarrain evaluates each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals during a comprehensive consultation. Ideal candidates typically experience:

• Excess skin obscuring the natural eyelid fold
• Puffy or baggy lower eyelids
• Noticeable skin laxity around the eyes

Surgical Approach

At Zuri Plastic Surgery, blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure using local or general anesthesia. Dr. Zuriarrain strategically places incisions in natural creases to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to regular activities within ten days. Swelling and bruising typically diminish during this period, with final results becoming apparent after several months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While blepharoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include temporary dry eyes, minor bleeding, and rare complications like infection. Dr. Zuriarrain thoroughly discusses these during the initial consultation.

Cost Considerations

Blepharoplasty pricing varies based on the specific technique and extent of correction needed. A personalized consultation provides the most accurate cost estimate.
