Procedure and Recovery
During the procedure, precise incisions are made along the natural lines of your eyelids. Through these incisions, excess skin, muscle, and possibly fat are removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more defined eyelid and eye contour.
Post-surgery, patients often experience mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling, which is managed with cold compresses and medication prescribed by our surgeons. Stitches are typically removed within a week, and most patients feel comfortable returning to social activities within 10-14 days.
While Blepharoplasty is generally safe, complications can include reaction to anesthesia, infection, bleeding, dry eyes, temporary blurred or double vision, and more rarely, permanent damage to eyesight.

FAQs
Non-surgical options like fillers or laser treatments can be alternatives for younger patients or those with minor concerns.
Results from eyelid surgery are long-lasting. While surgery cannot halt the aging process, results typically last for years and can be permanent.
If excess skin is impairing your vision, insurance may cover your surgery. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is typically not covered by health insurance.
While most patients are 35 or older, if droopy or baggy eyelids run in your family, you might decide to have the surgery done sooner.
