What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids. It can address concerns such as drooping upper eyelids, puffiness, under-eye bags, and wrinkles around the eyes.
By removing excess skin and fat or repositioning tissues, blepharoplasty restores a refreshed and youthful look to the eyes while maintaining their natural shape. Dr. Chang’s meticulous approach ensures that the results are subtle yet transformative, blending seamlessly with the patient’s unique facial features.
Who is a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty may be ideal for individuals who:
- Have sagging or drooping upper eyelids that affect their vision or appearance.
- Experience puffiness or bags under the eyes due to aging or genetics.
- Wish to achieve a more rested and youthful appearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Chang will assess your eyelids’ anatomy, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What is the Procedure Like?
Dr. Chang performs blepharoplasty using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure natural results. Depending on your goals, the procedure may involve:
- Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removing excess skin and fat to lift and rejuvenate the upper eyelid area.
- Lower Eyelid Surgery: Addressing under-eye bags and puffiness through fat repositioning or removal, with or without skin tightening.
Blepharoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return home the same day.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from blepharoplasty is usually straightforward, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within one to two weeks. Patients can often return to work and normal activities within 10 to 14 days. Dr. Chang provides detailed post-operative care instructions to support optimal healing and results.
The final results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting and can take years off your appearance, revealing brighter, more youthful eyes.
