How does a blepharoplasty procedure work?

Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery) is commonly performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Intravenous sedation is more often recommended for more complex procedures of for those who are anxious about the surgery or when the eyelid surgery is combined with another procedure. Upper, lower or both lids can be addressed in a single surgery. Patients are able to return home the same day as their procedure.

The incisions for upper blepharoplasty eye surgery are usually made in the crease of the eye while lower lid incisions are frequently made just below the lash line or alternatively on the inside aspect of the eyelid. Our blepharoplasty scar treatment approach minimizes visible scarring after the procedure. Through the incisions, Dr. Schneider removes excess fat, tissue and skin, creating a smoother look all the way around the eye.

Recovery and Results After Blepharoplasty

After a blepharoplasty is performed, eyelids are likely to feel puffy and somewhat numb. Oral pain medication will help to relieve any discomfort, and cold compresses will keep swelling to a minimum. Most patients are ready to return to work and their regular activities within one to two weeks, although more strenuous activity is usually restricted for as long as two to three weeks.

You will be able to see the results of your eyelid surgery once bruising and swelling subside – usually within a week or two. Eyes will appear refreshed, and vision should improve if drooping lids were interfering before surgery. Eyelid Blepharoplasty surgery is considered a permanent correction and no further treatment is needed to maintain your results. However, if sagging starts to develop over time, touch-up treatments can be performed at the patient’s request.
