Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Orlando

What is a Blepharoplasty?


Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. By removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat, this surgery addresses issues like droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. Beyond aesthetics, blepharoplasty can improve vision by eliminating sagging skin that impairs peripheral sight.

What Should I Expect?

Before the procedure, a thorough consultation will be conducted to assess your health, discuss your goals, and plan the surgery. Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. The surgery involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned. The procedure usually takes about 1 to 3 hours, and patients can often return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgery, it’s common to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes. Applying cold compresses and keeping the head elevated can help reduce these symptoms. Most patients feel ready to return to work and normal activities within 7 to 10 days, though complete healing may take a few weeks. It’s important to follow post-operative care instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities and protecting the eyes from sun exposure. The final results—a more youthful and rested eye appearance—will become increasingly evident as healing progresses.

Blepharoplasty FAQs

Ideal candidates are individuals in good health who experience droopy or sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess eyelid skin affecting their appearance or vision.

Incisions are strategically placed along the natural creases of the eyelids, making any scars minimally visible and often unnoticeable once healed.

The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for years. However, the natural aging process will continue, which may eventually affect the eye area again.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, dry eyes, and asymmetry. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following pre- and post-operative instructions can minimize these risks.

Yes, blepharoplasty is often performed alongside other facial procedures, such as facelifts or brow lifts, to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation.

If the procedure is performed solely for cosmetic reasons, insurance typically does not cover it. However, if drooping eyelid skin significantly impairs vision, insurance may cover part or all of the procedure.

Preparation may include medical evaluations, adjusting current medications, and ceasing smoking. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines tailored to your situation.

Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and patient preference.

Blepharoplasty primarily targets the eyelids and may not address crow’s feet or other wrinkles. Additional treatments, such as Botox or laser resurfacing, can be considered for those concerns.

Patients are generally advised to avoid eye makeup for about two weeks post-surgery to allow proper healing. Your surgeon will provide specific recommendations based on your progress.
