Blepharoplasty Explained

Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, is a precise and transformative cosmetic procedure that targets the upper and/or lower eyelids. The aim is to address various concerns such as excess skin, fatty deposits, muscle laxity, and overall sagging that can develop over time. By meticulously removing or repositioning these tissues, Blepharoplasty restores a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the eyes.

Understanding Blepharoplasty

At Santa Monica Eye Medical Group, we offer a range of Blepharoplasty to suit your specific needs. Our services include:

Lower eyelid Blepharoplasty can effectively address concerns such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and fine lines. The procedure involves making an incision either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, known as a transconjunctival incision. The choice of technique depends on your unique anatomy and desired outcomes. Through these incisions, our surgeons will remove or redistribute excess fat deposits, tighten sagging muscles, and smooth the delicate skin around the lower eyelids. This comprehensive approach results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

 

In some cases, combining upper and lower eyelid Blepharoplasty procedures can yield the most comprehensive and harmonious results. This combined approach addresses multiple concerns simultaneously, providing a complete rejuvenation of the eye area. Our experienced surgeons will assess your specific needs and develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired outcome.

During an upper eyelid Blepharoplasty, an incision is discreetly made along the natural crease of the eyelid. This strategic placement ensures that any resulting scar remains virtually invisible when healed. Through this incision, our skilled surgeons will remove excess skin and fat, as necessary. They will also tighten and reposition the underlying muscles to create a well-defined eyelid contour. This approach not only enhances aesthetics but can also alleviate the weight and heaviness caused by drooping eyelids, ultimately improving your vision.
