Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Your Eye Appearance
Aging can cause the delicate eye area to sag, wrinkle, and develop puffiness, creating an unintended tired or stressed appearance. Blepharoplasty offers a transformative solution by lifting and contouring the skin and fat around upper and lower eyelids, effectively restoring a more youthful and alert look.
Procedure Overview
- Duration: Approximately 1-2 hours
- Anesthesia: Local or general options
- Recovery: 5-10 days for office work and non-strenuous activities
- Initial Cost: Starts at $5,000
Customized Eyelid Surgery Techniques
Dr. Jon Kurkjian, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, specializes in personalized blepharoplasty techniques. During consultation, he evaluates your unique facial characteristics to develop a precise surgical plan addressing individual aesthetic concerns.
Types of Eyelid Surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Designed to remove excess skin and puffiness, upper blepharoplasty can improve both cosmetic appearance and vision by addressing drooping tissue.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Targets bags, wrinkles, and droopiness beneath the eyes, creating a more youthful and refreshed facial profile.
Key Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
- Reduces tired eye appearance
- Eliminates upper eyelid puffiness
- Removes loose or sagging skin
- Smooths fine lower eyelid wrinkles
- Potentially improves vision obstruction
Recovery and Results
Initial post-procedure swelling and bruising are temporary. Most patients resume normal activities within 5-10 days, with full results gradually emerging. Dr. Kurkjian provides comprehensive follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and satisfaction.
Longevity of Results
Blepharoplasty results can last 10-20 years, depending on individual factors and specific surgical techniques used.
Non-Surgical Alternatives
While injectables like BOTOX® can temporarily improve surrounding skin appearance, they cannot replicate the comprehensive rejuvenation of surgical blepharoplasty.
Financing Options
Kurkjian Plastic Surgery offers flexible financing through CareCredit® and other healthcare lenders, making eyelid surgery accessible for various budgets.
