Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is performed to rejuvenate the appearance of both the upper and lower lids or one lid individually. It allows for a refreshed, more rested look and is ideal for men and women who want to appear inclreasingly alert and full of energy. Treatments performed on the upper lids can help to reduce the appearance of puffiness through the removal of fat deposits in this area. Fine lines and wrinkles can be eliminated through blepharoplasty treatments to the lower lids. Lower lid treatments will additionally reduce the appearance of droopiness in the lower eye area by opening the eye up above the lower lid and thus making the whites of the eyes more visible in this location.
This procedure can also eliminate under-eye bags and impaired vision caused by sagging skin that impedes upon the natural eye contour. In instances in which multiple skin issues lend to a sagging look about the eye, the patient may need to consider both blepharoplasty and a brow lift to achieve the desired results.

While blepharoplasty will ultimately create a more refreshed and well-rested appearance for the individuals who opt for this cosmetic procedure, it will be necessary to wait for several weeks before the results can be accurately gauged. The healing process is gradual and with time, most incisions made near the eyes or on the actual eyelids will gradually fade and become much less noticeable.
Blepharoplasty results are typically permanent and the patient will generally not need to worry about future recurrences for most common eye and eye lid issues, however, certain lifestyle choices, habits and genetic factors could lead to the redevelopment of some aesthetic issues such as under-eye bags. The surgical team will provide patients with information and resources on the post-surgery life habits that will be most beneficial for maintaining the cosmetic improvements that are made.
