What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate your eyes for a more refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance.

It effectively addresses common concerns such as:

Sagging skin on the eyelids
Excess fat creating “bags” under the eyes
Fine wrinkles around the eye area

This versatile surgery can be performed on:

Upper eyelids: To remove loose skin that can impair vision or create a tired look.
Lower eyelids: To reduce puffiness and tighten skin, smoothing under-eye contours.

Blepharoplasty offers an effective solution for both aesthetic enhancement and functional improvement, revealing a brighter, more vibrant you.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure: What to Expect

Step 1: Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort. Dr. Valdez and the anesthesiologist will discuss the best choice for you, which may include regional anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

Step 2: The Incision(s)

For upper eyelids, incisions are typically hidden within the natural crease of your lid. For lower eyelids, they are often placed just below the lash line or inside the lid (transconjunctival approach) to minimize visible scarring. These precise placements ensure discreet results.

Step 3 – Excess Skin Removal

Dr. Valdez meticulously removes excess skin, muscle, and often fat from the targeted eyelid areas. For lower lids, fat can be repositioned to smooth contours. This precise work is done with great care in the operating room to reshape and rejuvenate the eye area.

Step 4 – Closing the Incisions

After the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures. These sutures are designed to minimize tension and promote optimal healing, further contributing to the discreet appearance of the surgical lines. Some sutures may be dissolvable, while others will be removed later.

Step 5 – Recovery Time

Initial recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for about 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Dr. Valdez will provide detailed post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Step 6 – The Results

While initial improvements are visible almost immediately, the final, refined results of your blepharoplasty will gradually emerge as swelling fully subsides, usually within several weeks to a few months. Your eyes will appear more open, refreshed, and youthful, often enhancing your overall facial harmony.
