Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of your eyelids, correcting changes that may have been brought about due to issues like facial aging, sun or weather exposure, or simple genetic predilection. It is also known as an eyelid lift or eye lift surgery and involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for Me?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that can enhance the appearance of the eyelids. The process involves removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.

Several factors determine whether an individual is a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty:

Excess skin on the upper eyelids that obscures vision
Bags under the eyes that make one look tired
Drooping lower eyelids that expose the white of the eye beneath the iris
Fine wrinkles and lines around the eyes that cannot be fixed through non-surgical procedures
Good overall health
No underlying medical conditions that may increase the risk of complications
Realistic expectations of the procedure’s outcome
A willingness to follow pre- and post-operative instructions for optimal healing and results

The Eyelid Lift Experience

Blepharoplasty can be performed using local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or a combination of both. The type of anesthesia used will depend on the extent of your surgical plan and the techniques Dr. Rogers will be using to create your results.

During your preoperative consultation, you’ll explore the procedure in detail with Dr. Rogers, and he’ll give you a clear idea about what your surgery will entail, going over everything from incision placement to his surgical technique and much more.

The length of your blepharoplasty procedure will vary according to the details of your procedural plan and whether both the upper and lower eyelids are being addressed. In general, the surgery typically takes one to two hours to complete.

Your Recovery Process

Once your surgery is complete, you’ll spend a short bit of time in our recovery area before heading home to begin your recovery process. You will need a friend to drive you home, however, as the anesthesia will still be wearing off. We’ll make sure that you’re given a clear idea of what you can expect after your procedure, along with a detailed set of aftercare instructions and a clear timeline that explains the process to you in detail.

Most patients can return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks after the surgery. However, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least two to three weeks after surgery to allow for proper healing. We’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions and make sure you have everything you need to stay comfortable as you rest, recover, and get ready to enjoy your final results.
