Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure addresses concerns such as:
- Drooping eyelids that may obstruct vision or change the shape of your eyes
- Puffy, tired-looking eyes due to fatty deposits
- Bags under the eyes
- Lower eyelids that droop and expose the white below the iris
- Wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes
The procedure can enhance your overall facial aesthetics, making your eyes look brighter, more awake, and youthful.
The eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Over time, skin and fat accumulate around the eyes, causing sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles. These changes can give you a tired, angry, or aged appearance even when you feel energized and youthful. Blepharoplasty is a quick and effective way to correct these concerns, helping you look as young and vibrant as you feel.
Dr. George Lefkovits is a highly experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon who performs blepharoplasty with precision and care. At Park Plaza Plastic Surgery, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Dr. Lefkovits takes the time to understand each patient’s goals and creates a customized treatment plan to deliver natural and beautiful results.
Whether you need an upper eyelid lift, a lower eyelid lift, or both, Dr. Lefkovits uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure a smooth recovery.
Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
- Upper Eyelid Surgery: Excess skin and fat are removed from the upper eyelids, and the remaining skin is lifted to create a more youthful contour. The incisions are hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid, ensuring scars are barely noticeable.
- Lower Eyelid Surgery: Fat and excess skin are removed or repositioned to eliminate puffiness and bags under the eyes. Incisions are placed either just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), making them virtually invisible.
Dr. Lefkovits can correct both the upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure, saving you time and enhancing your overall results.
After surgery, you should plan to take several days off work for recovery. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising are normal but begin to subside after a few days. Dr. Lefkovits may recommend using cold compresses and keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Stitches Removal: Stitches are typically removed within 4-5 days. You may experience light sensitivity and dryness, but these symptoms generally resolve quickly.
- Makeup and Sun Protection: After the stitches are removed, you can use makeup to cover any remaining discoloration. It’s crucial to protect your eyes from sun exposure during the healing period to prevent permanent discoloration.
Most patients return to their normal activities within a week, with full results visible as the swelling diminishes.
Dr. Lefkovits may suggest complementary treatments such as BOTOX® to smooth crow’s feet or a forehead lift to elevate sagging brows. Combining these treatments with eyelid surgery can achieve a more comprehensive and rejuvenated look.
If you’re ready to rejuvenate your eyes and achieve a brighter, more youthful appearance, Park Plaza Plastic Surgery is here to help. Dr. George Lefkovits and his team provide personalized care tailored to your aesthetic needs.
