What is a Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids. By meticulously removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat, we can restore a more youthful, rested contour to the eyes.
While often sought for its aesthetic benefits, blepharoplasty also serves a critical functional purpose. For many patients, sagging upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) can physically obstruct the superior visual field, leading to eye strain and reduced peripheral vision. Correcting this not only refreshes your appearance but can significantly improve your quality of life and visual clarity.
Key Benefits:
Restored Definition: Re-establishes the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
Reduced Puffiness: Eliminates “bags” under the eyes for a smoother transition to the cheek.
Improved Vision: Lifts “hooded” skin that may be resting on the eyelashes.
Minimal Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed within natural skin folds to ensure they are virtually invisible once healed.
General Oculoplastics
Beyond aesthetics, we treat functional issues including:
-
Ptosis Correction: Fixing “droopy” eyelids caused by muscle weakness.
-
Ectropion/Entropion: Correcting eyelids that turn outward or inward to prevent irritation and protect the ocular surface.
-
Treatment of eyelid lumps and bumps
