EYELID Surgery
What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, addresses concerns around the eyes, including:
Excess upper eyelid skin creating a hooded appearance
Puffy bags under the eyes
Drooping lower eyelids
Vision impairment in severe cases
These signs can make you look tired, older, or even hinder your vision. Blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and/or fat to restore a more youthful and alert look.
Who is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Generally healthy men and women seeking eyelid rejuvenation are good candidates for blepharoplasty. Dr. Park, a top eye lift surgeon in Orange County, will discuss your goals and concerns during a consultation to determine if surgery is right for you.
Types of Eyelid Surgery Offered:
Upper Blepharoplasty: Addresses sagging or hooded upper eyelids, often performed in-office under local anesthesia.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Targets puffiness and under-eye bags, typically performed at a surgery center with anesthesia.
Asian Blepharoplasty: Creates a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid for patients desiring a more open-eyed appearance. This procedure considers ethnicity and heritage to achieve harmonious results.
Recovery After Eyelid Surgery
Recovery typically takes 1-3 weeks, with stitches removed within 5-7 days. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding. Asian blepharoplasty recovery may take up to 12 months for complete resolution of swelling.
