Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Eyelid Appearance

Aging can cause significant changes to the delicate eye area, resulting in sagging skin, puffiness, and a perpetually tired appearance. Blepharoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address these aesthetic concerns by lifting and contouring the skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids.

Key Procedure Details

• Procedure Duration: Approximately 1-2 hours
• Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia
• Recovery Period: 5-10 days for office jobs and non-strenuous activities
• Starting Cost: $5,000

Customized Surgical Approach for Eyelid Enhancement

Dr. Kurkjian's fellowship training and expertise enable him to develop personalized blepharoplasty plans tailored to each patient's unique facial characteristics and aesthetic goals. During a comprehensive consultation, he evaluates the eye area to determine the most effective surgical technique.

Treatment Options

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: Addresses excess skin and puffiness
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: Removes bags and reduces wrinkles
• Combined Approach: Comprehensive rejuvenation of both upper and lower eyelids

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty offers multiple aesthetic and functional advantages, including:

• Eliminating a perpetually tired appearance
• Reducing puffiness and excess skin
• Potentially improving obstructed vision
• Creating a more youthful, refreshed look

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising following the procedure. Most individuals can resume normal daily activities within 5-10 days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Dr. Kurkjian provides comprehensive post-operative care and monitoring to ensure optimal results.

Longevity of Results

Blepharoplasty results can last between 10-20 years, depending on individual factors and the specific area treated. Lower eyelid surgery often provides more permanent outcomes compared to upper eyelid procedures.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, injectable treatments like BOTOX® can help manage dynamic wrinkles around the eyes. However, these cannot replicate the comprehensive results of surgical blepharoplasty.
