Advanced Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Minneapolis, MN | Jacobson Plastic Surgery - Plymouth

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an upper eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes and refresh the overall facial appearance. This technique involves adjusting the muscles and underlying tissue of the eyelids while lifting and tightening the eye skin.

Signs of Eyelid Aging

Upper-eyelid aging significantly contributes to facial aging. As eyes age, they can lose their youthful brightness, appearing tired and flat. Drooping skin can create a heavy, aged look and potentially impair peripheral vision.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

• Individuals with sagging eyelids
• People experiencing fine eyelid wrinkles
• Those with eyelid puffiness
• Patients with peripheral vision impairment

The Surgical Procedure

Dr. Jacobson performs blepharoplasty with meticulous care, creating a small incision carefully concealed in the eyelid crease. This approach ensures the surgical intervention remains nearly undetectable within months, resulting in a natural and beautiful outcome.

Surgical Considerations

Ideal candidates are in good physical health with no significant eye-related health problems. Non-smokers are preferred, and smokers must quit six weeks before and after the procedure.

Recovery Process

Patients can expect some bruising and swelling around the eyes, which typically subsides within two weeks. The recovery is generally not painful, and prescribed medications can manage any discomfort.

Recovery Guidelines

• Use cold compresses every hour initially
• Sleep with head elevated
• Use prescribed ointments
• Protect eyes from direct sunlight
• Avoid strenuous activities for one month
