Blepharoplasty

A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure for people with excess skin or fat in the upper eyelids. It is generally recommended for people with drooping eyelids, dark circles or wrinkles around the eyes, which can make the face look tired or sad.

A blepharoplasty can be beneficial for people seeking to improve their appearance and self-esteem, as well as for those with vision problems caused by sagging eyelid skin.

The main objective of a blepharoplasty is to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes and restore a more rested look to the face. By removing excess skin and fat around the eyes, a blepharoplasty can help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, as well as correct drooping eyelids, which can make the eyes look tired and sad. A blepharoplasty can also improve vision in people with drooping eyelids that obstruct their field of vision. A blepharoplasty is therefore a highly effective procedure for improving the appearance and function of the eyelids, while delivering a number of aesthetic and medical benefits.

Surgery

Local anesthesia

A blepharoplasty under local anaesthetic is a surgical procedure to correct drooping eyelids. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, meaning that the patient can go home the same day. During surgery, Dr. Guberman makes incisions in the natural folds of the upper eyelids to remove excess skin, fat and muscle. The incisions are then closed with very fine sutures, which are removed a week later. Local anesthesia means that the patient is awake during the procedure but feels no pain. This approach enables faster recovery and reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia.

Based on each patient’s aesthetic needs and goals, Dr. Guberman may recommend a combination of these techniques to achieve the best possible result.

Recovery

After a blepharoplasty under local anaesthesia, patients can resume their daily activities within a few days. However, it is important to note that bruising and swelling of the eyelids may persist for several weeks. It is also advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity for the first few days after surgery to minimize swelling and the risk of bleeding.

The patient will also receive detailed instructions on post-operative care, including the use of cold compresses and the application of ointments to help relieve pain and discomfort. With proper follow-up post-operative care, patients can expect long-lasting results and a more youthful, rested appearance to their eyelids.
