Blepharoplasty

Whether you're bothered by sagging eyelids, puffiness, or fine lines around your eyes, blepharoplasty can help you achieve a more youthful and vibrant look.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that targets concerns in the upper and lower eyelids:

     
  • Upper Eyelids: Sagging or drooping upper eyelids can make you appear tired and older. Blepharoplasty can correct this by removing excess skin and fat, giving your eyes a more alert and youthful appearance.
  •  
  • Lower Eyelids: Puffy bags or wrinkles in the lower eyelids can create a tired or aged appearance. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty addresses these issues by removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening the skin.

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

During a typical blepharoplasty procedure, the following steps are followed:

1. Anesthesia: Your comfort is paramount. Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs and preferences.

2. Incision Placement: Dr. Riccio will strategically place incisions based on the area being treated:

     
  • Upper Eyelids: Incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, making them well-concealed when healed.
  •  
  • Lower Eyelids: Incisions may be made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival), depending on the specific procedure.

3. Fat and Tissue Adjustment: Excess fat and tissue are carefully adjusted, repositioned, or removed to create a smoother and rejuvenated appearance.

4. Excess Skin Removal: Any excess skin is trimmed away, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.

5. Closing Incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or skin adhesive, depending on the technique used.

6. Recovery: You will be closely monitored in a recovery area as the effects of anesthesia wear off. It's crucial to have someone available to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery period.

7. Postoperative Care: Dr. Riccio will provide specific postoperative instructions, including wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
