Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Meridian, ID | Wigod Plastic Surgery

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery

Eyelid aging can cause unwanted changes in facial expression, making individuals appear permanently fatigued and older than their actual age. In some cases, excess upper lid skin can even contribute to visual impairment, making an eyelid lift an essential cosmetic and functional procedure.

Surgical Technique

During a traditional upper lid blepharoplasty, Wigod Plastic Surgery employs a precise surgical approach:

• An incision is strategically made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid
• Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed
• The incision is designed to be minimally visible when the eye is open

Procedure Considerations

Blepharoplasty may be performed independently or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a brow lift. Surgical precision is crucial to avoid removing too much skin, which could compromise the aesthetic and functional outcome.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a relatively straightforward recovery process:

• Sutures are typically removed within 4-7 days
• Swelling and bruising generally persist for approximately 10 days
• Makeup can help conceal initial post-operative healing signs
• Normal activities can be resumed rapidly
• Patients can expect to enjoy their new appearance within 10-14 days

Potential Postoperative Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, eyelid lift surgery may involve potential postoperative challenges, including:

• Prolonged swelling
• Potential asymmetry
• Temporary eye irritation
