Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Fort Worth, TX | Dr Candace Lovelace

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Fort Worth

Eyes are often the first facial feature people notice, and aging can cause saggy skin that creates a droopy, tired appearance. At New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, blepharoplasty helps patients reclaim a youthful, refreshed look.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and rejuvenate upper and lower eyelids. The procedure addresses:

• Drooping upper eyelid skin
• Excess fatty tissue causing bagginess
• Potential vision obstruction from eyelid hooding

Procedure Details

The blepharoplasty procedure typically takes 1-3 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. Lovelace personalizes each surgery to individual patient needs, ensuring optimal results.

Important Considerations

Blepharoplasty will not eliminate:

• Crow's feet
• Dark under-eye circles
• Eyebrow sagging

Recovery Process

Patients can expect the following recovery timeline:

• Return to reading: 2-3 days post-surgery
• Suture removal: 5-6 days
• Return to work: 3-7 days
• Resume non-strenuous activities: 7-10 days
