Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) at SightMD

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure that enhances the appearance and functionality of the eyelids. At SightMD, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeons specialize in helping patients achieve youthful, refreshed eyes with results that look natural and long-lasting.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is often performed to:

  • Address droopy upper eyelids that impair vision or create a tired appearance.
  • Reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes for a more youthful look.
  • Correct asymmetries or functional issues caused by sagging eyelids.

Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

You may be an ideal candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

  • Are bothered by sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or puffiness.
  • Have drooping eyelids that interfere with your vision.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure.

Different Blepharoplasty Procedures

At SightMD, we offer several types of blepharoplasty, depending on your specific needs:

  1. Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, often improving both appearance and vision.
  2. Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Targets puffiness and bags under the eyes by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin.
  3. Combination Eyelid Surgery: Addresses both upper and lower eyelids for a comprehensive rejuvenation.

Your surgeon will discuss the best approach for you during your consultation.

Recovery & Aftercare for the Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty recovery is generally straightforward. You can expect:

  • Swelling and bruising around the eyes for the first 1–2 weeks.
  • Stitches removed within 7 days, with follow-up visits to monitor healing.
  • The ability to resume most daily activities within 10–14 days, though strenuous activity should be avoided for 3–4 weeks.

Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Will I Have Any Scars After My Eyelid Surgery?

Scars from blepharoplasty are minimal and strategically placed in the natural creases of the eyelids, making them virtually invisible once healed.

How Soon After My Eyelid Surgery Procedure Will I See the Results?

Initial improvements are noticeable once swelling and bruising subside, typically within 2–3 weeks. Full results are visible after 2–3 months as the tissues settle.

Will the Results of My Blepharoplasty Be Permanent?

While the results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, the natural aging process continues. Most patients enjoy their rejuvenated look for 10–15 years or longer.

Will My Eyelid Surgery Results Look Natural?

Yes, our skilled surgeons prioritize creating results that enhance your natural features, leaving you looking refreshed and not overdone.
