How is a blepharoplasty performed?
Blepharoplasty is a general term for upper and lower eyelid surgery to improve appearance
and function.
Typically, blepharoplasty is performed to address excess skin and bulging fat around
the eyes.
As an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having
blepharoplasty performed with an understanding of the health of the eyes and having the skills
to perform the procedures necessary to accomplish this.
A significant part of my practice is performing advanced revision surgery for patients who
come from all over the world.
I routinely perform blepharoplasty in my Joint Commission certified operating facilities.
The procedures we do are done with local anesthesia with intravenous or I.V.
sedation.
Most of our patients return to work in less than 1 week and have little or no discomfort.
