What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and possibly fat and tightening the remaining skin around the eyes. Our blepharoplasty in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Will there be scars after blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids, making scars nearly invisible once healed. Scars usually fade over time and become less noticeable.

Results from blepharoplasty are long-lasting. Upper eyelid surgery can last 5-7 years or more, while lower eyelid surgery rarely needs to be repeated. Aging will continue, but the improvements are typically permanent.

Yes, blepharoplasty can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or non-surgical treatments like BOTOX®, to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Are there risks associated with blepharoplasty?

While blepharoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, scarring, and temporary or permanent changes in vision. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.
