What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the eyelids. It is commonly performed to address droopy or sagging eyelids, remove under-eye bags, and improve the overall appearance of the eyes. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s specific concerns and desired outcomes.

What is the process?

The process involves administering anesthesia for patient comfort, creating incisions along the natural eyelid creases or lash line, and carefully removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. In some cases, the surgeon may reposition or redistribute fat to achieve a more youthful look. After making the necessary adjustments, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue. During recovery, patients are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are common but typically subside within a few weeks. The results of blepharoplasty can be a refreshed and revitalized appearance. However, individuals considering this procedure should consult with Dr. Chahin to determine if they are suitable candidates and to understand the potential risks and benefits involved.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Improved appearance

Blepharoplasty can help rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by addressing sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin. This can give the eyes a more youthful and refreshed look.

Enhanced vision

In some cases, sagging upper eyelids can obstruct the visual field and impair peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty can remove the excess skin and improve vision by lifting and tightening the eyelids.

Increased self-confidence

By correcting aesthetic concerns such as droopy eyelids or under-eye bags, blepharoplasty can boost self-confidence and improve overall satisfaction with one’s appearance.

Long-lasting results

The results of blepharoplasty are generally long-lasting. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements achieved through the surgery can be enjoyed for many years.

Minimal scarring

The incisions made during blepharoplasty are typically well-hidden in the natural creases of the eyelids, resulting in minimal visible scarring.

Complementary effects

Blepharoplasty can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as facial balancing, facelift or brow lift, to achieve a more comprehensive and harmonious outcome.
