Surgical Blepharoplasty

As we age our skin starts to loose it’s elasticity. This not only causes the fine lines and wrinkles to your face, it can also cause you eye area to age dramatically. Wrinkles start to appear underneath and to the side of your eyes, becoming more prominent when you smile. On top of that the skin on top of your eyes, your eyelids become droopy and heavy. This can make you look tired and the pesky eyelids may become heavy and can even obstruct your eyesight.

What is a Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a procedure that alters the appearance of the upper eyelids by excising / cutting away loose skin and  -or fatty tissue. The aim is to improve the appearance of the area surrounding the eyes and to improve vision obscured by drooping eyelids.

How long does a Blepharoplasty take?

This innovative blepharoplasty procedure can be performed in two hours. Twilight sedation is used by our Cosmetic Doctor, to make you more comfortable during the procedure. Our patients report that they feel no pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Am I able to drive home after my procedure?

Due to the anesthesia, patients are not allowed to drive home after the procedure.  Therefore you will require someone to drive you home when your procedure has finished and you are alert and awake to go home.
