Back to Basics: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Blepharoplasty | 101 Series

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids. This procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's needs. Here are some basic things to know about blepharoplasty: Candidates for blepharoplasty: Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals who have excess skin or fat on their upper or lower eyelids, which may cause puffiness, sagging, or wrinkles around the eyes. Candidates should also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure. Procedure: Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, remove excess skin and fat, and then close the incisions with sutures. Recovery: After the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the eyes. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days to a week. Patients should avoid strenuous activities and protect their eyes from sunlight and wind during the recovery period. Risks and complications: As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with blepharoplasty. These include bleeding, infection, scarring, changes in vision, and asymmetry of the eyelids. However, these complications are relatively rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon. Results: The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, but they will not prevent the natural aging process from continuing. Patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle and use sunscreen to protect their skin from sun damage to help prolong the results of the procedure.
