Blepharoplasty in Greater Philadelphia
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to lift and rejuvenate the skin around your eyes. At Aegis Eyecare, our expert team offers blepharoplasty to reduce excess skin, remove puffiness, and improve the appearance of both the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure helps you achieve a youthful, refreshed look while improving vision in some cases.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty involves removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. Over time, the skin around the eyes can sag and droop, which not only affects your appearance but can also impair vision. This procedure is ideal for those seeking to reduce the signs of aging, eliminate under-eye bags, or improve vision obscured by drooping upper eyelids.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
- Restored Vision: For patients with severely drooping upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can significantly improve vision by removing excess skin that may block the field of vision.
- Youthful Appearance: By addressing puffiness, wrinkles, and sagging skin, blepharoplasty gives the eyes a more youthful and rested look.
- Quick Recovery: Blepharoplasty typically has a fast recovery time, allowing patients to return to daily activities within one to two weeks, with long-lasting results.
What Makes Blepharoplasty Different?
Blepharoplasty is a specialized procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits. It not only rejuvenates the eye area but can also improve vision when sagging eyelids interfere. The results are natural and long-lasting, making it a great choice for subtle yet impactful improvement.
What to Expect from Blepharoplasty Treatment
Blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, often under local anesthesia with sedation. During the surgery, small incisions are made along the natural lines of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed or repositioned to create a more lifted and youthful appearance. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within a week or two, with full recovery over the next few months.
Before your blepharoplasty, we’ll discuss your goals, assess your eye health, and create a personalized plan. You’ll receive clear pre-operative instructions to ensure you’re prepared.
