What is an Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)?
If you have eyelid skin that sags or rests too low or an inherited trait such as bags under your eyes a blepharoplasty may be of interest. A blepharoplasty gives a more youthful and rested appearance to the eyes.
What is Involved?
- The procedure can sometimes be done with a local anesthetic in the office or using a general anesthetic in our Surgery Centre.
- The incisions are made where the natural crease should be in the upper lids and below the lash line in the lower lids. Excess skin and fat are removed.
Blepharoplasty Recovery
- Discomfort is easily handled with oral medication such as Tylenol or Advil.
- Bruising and sensitivity to light lasts at least a week or two.
- Swelling may last 10-14 days, there may be some slight residual swelling for a few weeks.
- Most patients are back to work in 2 to 3 weeks.
