Blepharoplasty Plastic Surgery
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the eyelids for a more youthful look. The cosmetic facial surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a more youthful and rested appearance.
During the procedure, the surgeon, Dr. Martell, will make incisions in the natural creases of the eyelids, and then remove or reposition the excess tissue. The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical glue. Depending on the extent of the procedure, the surgeon may use local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The procedure can be used to correct drooping upper eyelids, puffiness and bags under the eyes, and wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes. The recovery time for blepharoplasty is typically around one to two weeks, and most patients can return to work and normal activities within this time frame.
