Who is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty?
Healthy people whose upper or lower eyelids have begun to sag or develop puffy bags may be excellent candidates for eyelid surgery. Those with sagging eyelids that impair vision may also be candidates for eyelid surgery. Patients with active eye problems such as dry eye syndrome or glaucoma may not be appropriate for eyelid surgery.
How is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Performed?
Upper eyelid surgery is commonly performed with general anesthesia. The incision for upper eyelid surgery is hidden within the crease of the upper eyelid. Puffy fat, eyelid bags, muscle and skin are removed and the incision is closed with a single stitch hidden beneath the surface of the skin. Lower eyelid surgery may be performed through a small incision hidden behind the eyelid or within a skin crease on the external part of the eyelid. Excess skin and fat causing sagging, eye bags and puffy eyelids are removed. The incisions from eyelid surgery are usually not noticeable when completely healed. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is commonly performed at the same time as neck lift, facelift, mini facelift and rhinoplasty.
What is the Recovery like from Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. In Dr. Harmych’s experience, eyelid surgery is not painful. In some cases, prescription pain medicine may be taken for 2 or 3 days. Sutures are removed in 7 days and most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activity at that time. Patients may experience blurred vision or dry eye symptoms that rarely persist beyond 2 or 3 weeks.
