Q:
What is blepharoplasty?
A: Blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelid surgery. Through blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, excess skin, fat, and muscle is removed from the upper and lower eyelids to reduce the appearance of tired-looking, sagging eyelids. Blepharoplasty is intended to restore the healthy, youthful-looking eyelids that people lose as they grow older.
Q:
Does blepharoplasty produce visible scars?
A: During the blepharoplasty procedure, incisions are made within the natural creases of the eyelids. By removing excess skin, fat, and muscle through these incisions, any resulting scars are naturally concealed by the creases around your eyes.
Q:
Who is a good blepharoplasty candidate?
A: While people of nearly all ages can have blepharoplasty, the best candidates for blepharoplasty are men and women who are in good health without high blood pressure, good muscle tone around their eyes, healthy skin, and have realistic expectations of the procedure. For the most part, the people who most often undergo blepharoplasty are men and women over the age of 35 who would like to rid their eyelids of sagging, excess skin and fat that is causing them to look tired or older.
Q:
When will I be able to notice my blepharoplasty results?
A: Your blepharoplasty results will be noticeable as soon as any post-operative swelling has gone down. For some patients, this can take as long as a few weeks. For all patients, blepharoplasty results will be most noticeable if the head is kept elevated, allowing fluids around they eyes to drain.
Q:
How long will my blepharoplasty results last?
A: Blepharoplasty, like many other plastic surgery procedures will not produce permanent results. However, after the blepharoplasty procedure has been performed, the results can be seen for many years to come.
