Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

acne treatment

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure addresses issues such as droopy eyelids, excess skin, and puffiness, which can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. At All Dermatology, we specialize in providing blepharoplasty to help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.

Blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. By tightening the skin around the eyes, blepharoplasty creates a smoother, firmer appearance, helping to restore a youthful, rejuvenated look.

Why Choose Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a popular choice for individuals seeking to correct:

    • Droopy upper eyelids that may impair vision
    • Puffiness or “bags” under the eyes
    • Excess skin and fine lines around the eyes
    • A tired or aged appearance
Recovery

Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week following surgery. Cold compresses and prescribed medications can help manage these symptoms. Most people can return to normal activities within 10-14 days, and full recovery takes about 3-4 weeks.

When You’ll See Results

As swelling subsides, the eyes gradually appear brighter and more refreshed. Most patients notice visible improvement within two to four weeks, with final results continuing to refine over several months. The outcome is long-lasting, with many patients enjoying rejuvenated eyelids for years before any additional enhancement is considered.

Functional and Aesthetic Benefits

  • Excess eyelid skin removal can improve peripheral vision and reduce visual obstruction.

  • Many patients experience greater comfort when reading, driving, or performing daily tasks.

  • Restoring natural eyelid contours helps the face appear more alert and youthful.

  • Results enhance appearance without altering natural facial expression.

Combining Blepharoplasty with Other Treatments

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty may be paired with complementary procedures such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or neuromodulators like Botox. These treatments work together to smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and create a balanced, harmonious result. Your dermatologist will help design a safe treatment plan that aligns with your goals and recovery timeline.
