Understanding Upper Blepharoplasty
At Paragon Skin & Surgery, we understand the profound impact that your eyes have on your overall appearance and self-confidence. Upper Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to rejuvenate your upper eyelids, restoring a youthful, refreshed look to your gaze.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Upper Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses on the upper eyelids. It involves the careful removal of excess skin, fat, and tissue to address issues such as drooping eyelids, sagging skin, and puffiness. The result is a more youthful, alert, and rejuvenated eye area. It restores youthfulness by correcting the signs of aging around the eyes, including drooping eyelids and excess skin. In some cases, an Upper Blepharoplasty can improve vision by removing obstructive excess skin.
How Is a Blepharoplasty Performed?
Upper Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthetic in the office. This ensures your comfort and a pain-free experience during the procedure. Dr. Fomin takes care to place the incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids. This placement is designed to minimize visible scarring and create discreet results. Excess skin and fatty tissue are carefully removed to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The incisions are closed with a suture that will dissolve within 1-2 weeks.
What to Expect After the Procedure
After the procedure, you may be advised to use cold compresses to reduce swelling. You’ll receive detailed post-surgery care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, with a full return to normal activities within a few weeks. Following your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines is essential for optimal healing. As your body heals, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the appearance of your upper eyelids. The final results, including the appearance of scars, will continue to improve over several months.
