EYELID SURGERY

WHAT IS EYELID SURGERY?

Drooping lids and under-eye bags can be a thing of the past with eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery, which encompasses both upper and lower blepharoplasty, is designed to rejuvenate hooded or puffy eyelids, providing a refreshed and alert appearance. In upper blepharoplasty, excess skin is removed, while in lower blepharoplasty, fat is repositioned to restore a more youthful look. Dr. Stephens performs both upper and lower eyelid surgeries with precision and compassion for patients from the Baton Rouge and Lafayette areas, consistently delivering natural-looking results.

EYELID SURGERY DETAILS

Upper blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. Dr. Stephens skillfully conceals incisions within the natural creases of the upper eyelids to minimize visible scarring, ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing outcome. During the surgery, excess skin is carefully removed, and if necessary, fat may be repositioned to achieve a more youthful and alert appearance. Additionally, underlying muscles may be tightened to enhance the upper eyelids' rejuvenation further. This comprehensive approach allows for tailored results that address individual aesthetic concerns and goals.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Lower Blepharoplasty

Comprehensive Blepharoplasty

Like upper blepharoplasty, the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately one hour. Dr. Stephens employs meticulous techniques to conceal incisions within the natural creases of the lower eyelids, minimizing visible scarring and ensuring a more natural appearance post-surgery. The surgical details of lower blepharoplasty may involve the removal of excess skin, repositioning fat, and the tightening of underlying muscles to address concerns such as puffiness, sagging, and wrinkles around the lower eyelids.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Lower Blepharoplasty

Comprehensive Blepharoplasty

It is important to note that while upper and lower blepharoplasty can be performed as standalone procedures, they can also be combined for a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire eye area. Additionally, these procedures can be complemented with other facial rejuvenation treatments for enhanced overall results. Dr. Stephens provides personalized consultations to discuss individualized treatment plans and the potential for combining eyelid surgery with other procedures to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

After Your EYELID SURGERY

What Results to Expect

Although the natural aging process cannot be prevented, eyelid surgery can create a more youthful and alert appearance for several years — much longer-lasting than the various quick-fix treatments available. In addition, your scars will eventually become nearly invisible with Dr. Stephens’s placement.

BLEPHAROPLASTY
POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS

Upper Blepharoplasty

Recovery from upper blepharoplasty typically involves minimal discomfort and downtime. After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising around the upper eyelids, which usually subsides within the first week. Strenuous activities should be avoided during the initial phase of recovery, and patients can generally return to work and normal daily activities within a week to ten days. The incision sites are carefully monitored to ensure proper healing, and any sutures are typically removed within the first-week post-surgery.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Recovery from lower blepharoplasty involves similar post-operative care as upper blepharoplasty. Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising around the lower eyelids, which typically resolves within the first week. It is important to avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery phase. Most patients can expect to return to work and resume normal activities within a week to ten days. Close monitoring of the incision sites and removal of any sutures within the first week contribute to a smooth and successful recovery process.
