Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Blepharoplasty results last?

Results typically last 10 to 15 years or more. While aging continues, most patients maintain a more youthful appearance than if they hadn't had surgery.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are strategically placed in the natural creases of the eyelids or inside the lower lid, making scars virtually undetectable once healed.

Can Blepharoplasty fix dark circles?

While Blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness and improve contour, it does not directly address pigmentation. However, removing bags can create a shadow-free appearance that minimizes the look of dark circles.

Is the Blepharoplasty painful?

Discomfort is typically mild and well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe tightness or soreness rather than sharp pain.

Can blepharoplasty improve my vision if my eyelids are drooping?

Yes. When excess skin on the upper eyelids becomes severe enough to obstruct your peripheral vision, blepharoplasty can significantly improve your field of sight. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess whether your drooping lids are affecting your vision and determine if the procedure can provide both functional and cosmetic benefits.

How soon after surgery can a patient return to normal activities?

Most patients take about one week off work and can resume light daily activities within 7 to 10 days. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that increase blood pressure for at least two to three weeks. Your surgeon will provide personalized guidelines based on your specific procedure and healing progress.

What's the difference between upper eyelid blepharoplasty and a brow lift?

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat directly on the upper eyelid itself, while a brow lift elevates the eyebrow position and smooths forehead wrinkles. During your consultation, our surgeons will evaluate your facial anatomy to determine whether upper eyelid blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or a combination of both will achieve your desired results.

Is lower blepharoplasty effective for treating hereditary under-eye bags?

Yes, lower blepharoplasty is highly effective for addressing hereditary under-eye bags caused by excess fat deposits or weakened tissue structures. The results are long-lasting, and many patients wish they had addressed their hereditary bags sooner.
