Blepharoplasty Overview

What is Blepharoplasty?

With the aging process, the skin’s once-youthful structure begins to weaken while supplies of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid gradually dwindle, resulting in increased wrinkles, lines, and folds. The delicate eye area can be especially prone to signs of aging like sagging skin, fat deposits, and lax muscles, leading to a fatigued or dejected facial expression. Blepharoplasty addresses these concerns, reshaping the eyelids by removing excess fat, skin, and tissue. Our surgeons are meticulously detailed, ensuring that only subtle cosmetic changes are made and the eyelid function remains perfectly intact.

What are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL?

Eyelid surgery comes with a wide range of impressive advantages, including the following:

Creates a brighter, more alert facial expression
Trims drooping skin
Improves field of vision
Removes pockets of fat
Combats puffiness
Boosts self-confidence

Who is a Good Candidate for the Procedure?

Eyelid surgery is ideal for patients who are struggling with drooping skin in the upper lids that may hang down and obscure vision and/or puffiness in the lower lids. They may be frustrated by a fatigued, sad, or angry facial expression that doesn’t reflect their personality or mood. As long as you are a healthy non-smoker with realistic expectations for your results, you will likely qualify to undergo blepharoplasty. Our team will conduct a thorough consultation that includes a detailed physical evaluation and review of your medical and surgical history to ensure that eyelid surgery will safely meet your goals.

Actual Patient

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Your surgeon will perform upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combination procedure to achieve your unique cosmetic goals.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

With upper blepharoplasty, a small incision is created within the fine folds of the upper lid, where scarring will later be inconspicuous. Through this opening, your surgeon will remove excess skin, tissue, and fat. A small section of the orbicularis oculi muscle may also be excised in some cases. Absorbable sutures are then used to close the incisions.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

With lower blepharoplasty, an incision is created within the lash line, ensuring scars remain invisible. Your surgeon will remove excess fat, skin, and tissue to reduce lower lid puffiness and create a more attractive facial expression. If you have retained good skin tone, your surgeon may choose to perform “transconjunctival blepharoplasty,” a technique that places the incision inside the lower lid completely. The surgery can be paired with dermal fillers to combat dark circles and offset soft-tissue deficiencies.

What Will Recovery Entail?

After surgery, you will likely have to contend with mild bruising, swelling, and soreness in the treated areas. To help alleviate discomfort, you should keep your head elevated while sleeping, utilize your prescription pain medication, and apply ice packs as needed. Your surgeon will provide you with a soothing ointment and eye drops to help relieve dryness. Take care to protect your eyes against the elements for several months after surgery, wearing dark glasses when outdoors.
