Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenate Your Eyes with Confidence

Upper and lower blepharoplasty surgeries are two transformative cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance of your eyes and restore a youthful, vibrant look to your face. Dr. Overman is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals, boosting your confidence, and providing you with the highest quality care throughout your journey.

What is Blepharoplasty?

"Blepharoplasty" is a surgical procedure commonly known as an eyelid lift. It is designed to address concerns related to sagging or drooping eyelids, excess skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can lead to changes in the eyelids, making individuals appear tired, aged, or even impacting their vision.

There are two primary types of blepharoplasty:

1. Upper Blepharoplasty:

Upper blepharoplasty targets the upper eyelids and is focused on addressing issues such as:

- Excess skin that creates a hooded or tired appearance

- Drooping of the eyelids that can obstruct vision

- Fat deposits that cause puffiness

- Fine lines and wrinkles

During the procedure, incisions are carefully made in the natural creases of the eyelids, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. The underlying muscles may also be adjusted for optimal results. The incisions are skillfully closed, resulting in a nearly invisible scar that fades over time.

2. Lower Blepharoplasty:

Lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelids and is designed to treat concerns like:

- Under-eye bags and puffiness

- Excess skin and wrinkles

- Hollowing or dark circles

- Fine lines and creases

Dr. Overman uses a scarless transconjunctival approach, where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid so there is no evidence any surgery was ever done. Through this incision, excess fat can be removed or repositioned to achieve a smoother, more youthful contour.

Your Consultation:

At our practice, your journey towards brighter, more refreshed eyes begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Overman will carefully assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals and concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. He will explain the procedure, its potential risks, recovery process, and anticipated outcomes, ensuring you are well-informed and confident in your decision.

The Procedure:

Blepharoplasty in our practice is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and oral sedation. The surgery typically takes around 2 to 4 hours, and you can expect to return home the same day.

Recovery and Results:

After the surgery, you might experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Most patients are able to return to their daily activities within a week, with makeup able to conceal any residual bruising.

As the healing process progresses, you'll start to notice the full results of your blepharoplasty. Your eyes will appear more open, youthful, and rejuvenated, enhancing your overall facial aesthetics and boosting your self-confidence.
