Understanding Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. The technique removes excess skin and bulging fat, visually brightening and rejuvenating the eye area. This procedure can address both cosmetic concerns and functional issues like vision obstruction caused by sagging upper eyelids.

Procedure Details

Marissa Baca MD performs two distinct types of eyelid surgery:

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: Incisions are made in the natural eyelid crease
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: Incisions are placed just below the eyelashes or inside the lower lid

Surgical Expectations

Patients can expect the following during an eyelid lift procedure:

• Anesthesia: Local with IV sedation
• Surgery Duration: 1 to 2 hours
• Procedure Type: Outpatient surgery

Recovery and Results

Typical recovery milestones for eyelid lift include:

• Reading: 2 to 3 days
• Return to Work: 5 to 10 days
• Contact Lens Use: 2 weeks or more
• Strenuous Activity: Approximately 3 weeks

Surgical Technique

The Straith Clinic specializes in customized eyelid surgery techniques. Surgeons carefully remove excess skin and fat while preserving the natural contour of the eyes. The procedure can be performed independently or combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments like a facelift.
