What is Blepharoplasty?

Shape Your Confidence

The eyes are often one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, drooping eyelids, volume loss, dark circles, or undereye bags. Blepharoplasty sculpts eye contours to reduce or eliminate such concerns by trimming and repositioning tissue. Blepharoplasty can be applied to the upper and lower eyelids to create a refined, lifted, and overall youthful appearance.

What are the benefits of Blepharoplasty?

Form & Function

Upper and lower Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, offers aesthetic and functional benefits. While some patients may only seek upper or lower eyelid treatment, others include both areas for comprehensive blepharoplasty results. Upper Blepharoplasty focuses on the area above the eye to reduce drooping, excess fat deposits, and heaviness. Upper blepharoplasty can often restore a full field of vision for patients with sagging eyelids that impair their peripheral sight. Lower blepharoplasty targets under eye concerns, such as bags and puffiness, to create a smooth and refreshed look. Together, these procedures can enhance facial harmony, boosting self-confidence and leave patients looking and feeling revitalized. With advanced surgical techniques, patients can achieve natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making Blepharoplasty an optimally beneficial option for those seeking subtle yet impactful rejuvenation.

Your Blepharoplasty Consultation

Tailored For Facial Harmony

During your consultation, Dr. Hagan will assess your concerns, facial anatomy, and goals to design your personalized procedure. Your Blepharoplasty will be unique to you — customized according to your facial anatomy. Dr. Hagan’s thorough approach ensures that you achieve the youthful appearance and natural-looking contours you desire. For patients interested in other procedures, you will also be able to discuss these during your consultation. In many cases, blepharoplasty can be combined with additional procedures, such as a brow lift, rhinoplasty, facelift, or fat grafting.

Your Blepharoplasty Procedure

Let Your Eyes Shine

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure and may be performed with general anesthesia or IV sedation. The entire procedure can take anywhere from less than an hour to about three hours, depending on the details of your surgical plan. If you are combining your blepharoplasty with other procedures, this will also lengthen the duration. Dr. Hagan will thoroughly discuss the details of your surgery during the consultation and planning phase so that you can arrive confident and fully prepared on the day of your procedure.

Additional Reading

For upper Blepharoplasty, Dr. Hagan will begin by making an incision along the fold of your eyelid to trim away the excess tissue contributing to your concerns. For patients with drooping in the upper eyelid, he will shape the eye to create a naturally lifted appearance, allowing it to open fully and restoring your full range of vision.

For lower Blepharoplasty, he will create an incision in the natural crease just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid. Then, he will remove and reposition skin, muscle, and fat to create smooth and youthful contours. Lastly, Dr. Hagan will close your incisions and prepare you for your at-home recovery.

Blepharoplasty Results

A Fresh Look That Lasts

As bruising and swelling subside, you will enjoy a fresh and rejuvenated appearance. In general, most patients report that blepharoplasty has a significant impact on their overall confidence, youthful appearance, and quality of life. Your skin will still continue to age as it normally would, but the excess skin and tissues removed during the process are gone for good, offering long-lasting and gorgeous results.

Blepharoplasty Recovery and Aftercare

A Smooth Path to Exquisite Results

Immediately after your Blepharoplasty Idaho Falls patients may experience blurred or double vision, light sensitivity, swelling, bruising, or discomfort around your eyes. However, all of these conditions are temporary and considered normal. To reduce swelling and ensure your quickest and most comfortable recovery, you can apply ice packs to your eyes for 10 minutes each hour, sleep with your head elevated, wear dark sunglasses, and take acetaminophen and any prescription medications as directed.

The majority of the bruising and swelling typically subside within two weeks, but it may take months, depending on the complexity of your procedure. However, it may take several months for the incision scars to heal fully and the swelling to subside completely. Due to the location of the incisions, they are easily concealed while healing and virtually undetectable once healed. Protecting your eyelids from sun exposure can help to fade the appearance of any scarring from your surgery.
