 

EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) IN CHESTERFIELD, MO

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a refined surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate
the eye area by addressing sagging skin, puffy bags, and
vision-related concerns. This popular facial surgery can be performed
on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both to restore a more
youthful, alert appearance.

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY

FUNCTIONAL BLEPHAROPLASTY

Functional blepharoplasty focuses on correcting vision impairments
caused by loose or overhanging skin. Patients experiencing restricted
visual fields can benefit from this medically necessary procedure.

COSMETIC BLEPHAROPLASTY

Cosmetic blepharoplasty aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of
the eyelids, reducing signs of aging and creating a more refreshed
look. This procedure can address:

 	* Excess skin around the eyes
	* Drooping upper eyelids
	* Pronounced under-eye bags
	* Accumulated fatty deposits

PROCEDURE OPTIONS

UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Upper eyelid surgery removes sagging skin above the lash line,
strategically concealing the incision within the natural eyelid crease
for minimal visible scarring.

LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Lower eyelid surgery addresses bags and excess skin beneath the eyes.
Incisions are carefully placed either below the lash line or inside
the lower eyelid, depending on the patient's specific anatomy.

QUAD BLEPHAROPLASTY

Quad blepharoplasty, or combined upper and lower eyelid surgery,
provides comprehensive rejuvenation by treating all four eyelids
simultaneously.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal blepharoplasty candidates are healthy, non-smoking individuals
experiencing:

 	* Vision obstruction from excess upper eyelid skin
	* Pronounced under-eye bags
	* Tired or aged appearance around the eyes

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, which typically
peak within 3-4 days and gradually resolve over the first week. Most
individuals can return to normal activities within 10-14 days.

COMBINATION PROCEDURES

Blepharoplasty can be effectively combined with other facial
rejuvenation procedures like brow lifts or facelifts to enhance
overall results.
