Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Las Vegas, NV | Terrence Higgins, MD FACS

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten upper or lower eyelids, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This surgical technique addresses excess skin, reduces puffiness, and can improve visual functionality for patients experiencing age-related eyelid changes.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Create a younger, rejuvenated look
• Improve vision by expanding line of sight
• Remove under-eye bags
• Enhance eye aesthetic and contour
• Eliminate loose and sagging eyelid skin

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping or sagging upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure can restore a more alert and youthful appearance while potentially improving peripheral vision.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery targets bulging skin and fatty deposits beneath the eyes. The procedure subtly lifts skin and removes excess tissue to create a smoother, more refreshed look.

Candidacy for Blepharoplasty

Ideal candidates include men and women experiencing excess eyelid skin, vision impairment from drooping lids, or aesthetic concerns about eye appearance. A comprehensive consultation will determine the most appropriate approach for individual needs.

Recovery and Results

Eyelid surgery typically takes up to two hours. Patients should plan for several days of rest and expect reduced bruising and swelling with proper care. Results can last a decade or longer, though natural aging continues.

Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty can be combined with nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX, dermal fillers, or a brow lift to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
