Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Keller, TX | Dr. Candis Lovelace, MD, FACS

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin and addressing underlying fatty tissue. This advanced technique helps patients restore a more youthful and refreshed eye appearance while potentially improving peripheral vision obstructed by drooping eyelids.

Procedure Overview

During a blepharoplasty, Dr. Lovelace carefully removes excess skin and repositions or eliminates fatty deposits that contribute to a tired or aged look. The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.

Procedure Details

• Duration: 1-3 hours
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
• Outpatient procedure
• Customized surgical approach

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically expect the following recovery timeline:

• Return to work: 3-7 days
• Suture removal: 5-6 days
• Avoid eye makeup: 2 weeks
• Resume non-strenuous activities: 7-10 days
• Full recovery: Several weeks

Important Pre-Surgical Considerations

Patients should discuss medication management with Dr. Lovelace, including temporarily discontinuing:

• Blood thinners
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Over-the-counter supplements
• Hormonal medications

Limitations and Realistic Expectations

Blepharoplasty will not address all facial aging concerns. The procedure does not eliminate crow's feet, dark circles, or lift sagging eyebrows. Dr. Lovelace will comprehensively evaluate individual needs and recommend complementary procedures if necessary.

Potential Benefits

• Improved aesthetic appearance
• Potential vision enhancement
• Reduced upper eyelid skin obstruction
• Increased self-confidence
