Blepharoplasty:

Your questions, answered

What is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. The procedure is commonly performed to reduce drooping eyelids, eliminate under-eye bags, and smooth wrinkles around the eyes.

Dr. Plant customizes each blepharoplasty procedure to enhance the natural contours of the eyes while ensuring that results look subtle, refreshed, and in harmony with your facial features.

Do you offer eyelid surgery for men?

Yes, eyelid surgery is a popular procedure for men who want to reduce heavy, tired-looking eyelids or under-eye puffiness while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance.

Dr. Plant takes a specialized approach to ensure that male patients retain strong, natural-looking eyelid contours without an overdone or overly tightened appearance.

Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery if you have sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin around the eyes that make you look tired, aged, or less alert. This procedure is often chosen by patients who experience droopy upper eyelids that interfere with vision, puffy or swollen lower eyelids, fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes, or a fatigued or aged appearance.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and want to restore a more refreshed, youthful eye appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will evaluate your eye structure, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to create a personalized surgical plan that enhances your natural features.

How long does an eyelid surgery procedure take?

Eyelid surgery typically takes one to two hours, depending on whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are being treated. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure precise, natural-looking results.

What results can I expect from eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery creates a more alert, refreshed, and youthful eye appearance, reducing the heaviness of drooping eyelids and smoothing under-eye puffiness. Many patients find that their eyes look brighter and more defined, making them appear more rested and rejuvenated.

Dr. Plant takes a conservative approach to avoid an overly tight or artificial look, ensuring that results are subtle, natural, and in harmony with the rest of the face.
