Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Minnetonka, MN

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is an advanced eyelid surgery designed to tighten and smooth skin, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns. Patients in Minneapolis can improve their upper and lower eyelids through this transformative procedure.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Removes excess skin and reduces puffiness
• Enhances aesthetic appearance
• Potentially improves peripheral vision
• Addresses age-related eyelid changes

Procedure Types and Techniques

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess fat and repositioning eyelids to create a more refreshed appearance. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing tired-looking or sagging eyelids.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid procedures target age-related concerns such as under-eye bags and dark circles. Two primary approaches are available, depending on the patient's specific aesthetic goals.

Surgical Preparation and Considerations

SP Plastic Surgery recommends several preparatory steps to ensure optimal surgical outcomes:

• Cease tobacco use one month before and after surgery
• Review and potentially adjust current medications
• Plan for post-surgical transportation and recovery

Anesthesia and Patient Comfort

The practice offers multiple anesthesia options tailored to individual patient needs, including local and general anesthesia, to maximize comfort during the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience minimal bruising and swelling, with significant improvements visible within two months post-surgery. SP Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to support optimal healing.
