Understanding Blepharoplasty in Melbourne, FL

Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery, is a precise cosmetic procedure that corrects drooping upper eyelids and reduces puffy under-eye bags by removing excess fat, skin, and muscle. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mauricio J. Castellon, specializes in facial surgical procedures for patients in Melbourne, Brevard County, and Central Florida.

What is Blepharoplasty?

An eyelid lift rejuvenates the eyes by carefully removing small amounts of fat and loose skin from upper and lower eyelids. Many patients experience improved vision and reduced eye fatigue after the procedure, resulting in a more alert and refreshed appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Castellon recommends blepharoplasty for individuals who meet specific criteria:

• Have noticeable bags under the eyes
• Experience puffy upper eyelids
• Have vision obstruction due to sagging upper eyelids
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Patients considering blepharoplasty in Melbourne can expect multiple aesthetic and functional advantages:

• Improved peripheral vision
• More youthful, rejuvenated eye appearance
• Reduced eye strain
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Strategically placed incisions with minimal visible scarring

Combining Procedures

Blepharoplasty can be effectively combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts, brow lifts, and dermal fillers. During your consultation, Dr. Castellon will discuss personalized treatment options that align with your aesthetic goals and facial structure.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically experience mild swelling and bruising during the initial recovery week. Most individuals return to work and light activities within 7-10 days. Full results become apparent within one to two months, with improvements lasting several years by delaying visible signs of aging around the eyes.

Cost Considerations

Blepharoplasty is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by medical insurance. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center offers various payment options and financing through CareCredit® and LendingUSA.com.
