Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty Patient

Commonly known as “eyelid surgery,” when someone receives blepharoplasty, they are getting a popular cosmetic procedure designed to improve the look of the eyelids by removing additional skin, fat, and muscle. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, resulting in a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Over time, the skin around the eyes can lose its elasticity, leading to droopy eyelids, puffiness, and bags under the eyes. Blepharoplasty addresses these concerns, improving both the aesthetics and function of the eyelids. At Village Dermatology, our blepharoplasty procedures are performed by Dr. Rachel Pflederer, a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon with expertise in eyelid surgery.

Aging, genetics, and lifestyle factors can cause the skin around the eyes to sag and develop wrinkles. Blepharoplasty offers several benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Reduces droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye “bags” for a more rejuvenated look.
  • Improved Vision: Removing excess skin from the upper eyelids can alleviate visual obstruction, enhancing your field of vision.
  • Boosted Confidence: By restoring a natural, refreshed appearance, blepharoplasty can significantly improve self-confidence and facial harmony.
  • Long-Lasting Results: While everyone’s natural aging process continues, the results of blepharoplasty can last for many years, giving a more rested and energetic look.

Blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals who are:

  • Experiencing droopy or sagging eyelids that affect their appearance or vision.
  • Struggling with under-eye bags, puffiness, or wrinkles around the eyes.
  • Individuals in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
  • Non-smokers, as smoking can inhibit the healing process.

A thorough evaluation by Dr. Pflederer will help determine if blepharoplasty is the right option for you.

FAQs About Blepharoplasty

The incisions for blepharoplasty are carefully placed along the natural creases of the eyelids, making any scars nearly invisible once healed.

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which usually subsides within 1-2 weeks. Individuals can typically return to normal activities within 7-10 days.

Applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling. It’s important to follow Dr. Pflederer’s specific instructions for caring for the surgical area to ensure a smooth recovery.

As the swelling and bruising gradually fade, you’ll start to notice a more youthful and refreshed appearance around your eyes. Full results typically become more apparent after a few weeks.
