Understanding Upper Eyelid Surgery in Westborough

Upper eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids. This treatment addresses puffiness and corrects sagging eyelid skin, helping patients achieve a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Dr. Ahn's Specialized Blepharoplasty Technique

Dr. Ahn has developed a meticulous approach to upper eyelid surgery that ensures natural-looking results. His technique focuses on preventing the undesirable "surprised" look by implementing precise surgical methods.

Key Surgical Considerations

• Patient positioning during pre-surgical marking
• Precise incision placement within natural eyelid crease
• Millimeter-scale measurement of excess skin
• Individual assessment for each eyelid

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

The ideal blepharoplasty candidate is typically between 30 and 70 years old, in good general health, and seeking a natural enhancement. Patients should have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome.

Recovery and Expectations for Blepharoplasty

Following upper eyelid surgery, patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising. Most individuals can resume light activities within 7-10 days, with full aesthetic results visible in approximately 10-14 days.

Surgical Facility and Anesthesia

Dr. Ahn performs all procedures at the Joint Commission accredited Aesthetic Surgery Center in Westborough, Massachusetts. Surgeries are conducted using twilight anesthesia, which offers enhanced safety and faster recovery compared to general anesthesia.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While blepharoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include improper skin removal and healing complications. Dr. Ahn's precise techniques minimize these risks through careful preoperative planning and expert execution.
