Blepharoplasty in Newport Beach, CA

Understanding Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to address aging changes around the eyes. Dr. Rami Batniji, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California, offers comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation techniques that remove excess fat, muscle, and skin to restore a more youthful appearance.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery addresses sagging skin that can obstruct vision and create a tired appearance. In some medically necessary cases, this procedure may be partially covered by insurance.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags, excess skin, and hollowness. This procedure can dramatically refresh one's facial aesthetics by eliminating stubborn fatty deposits.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

• Patients experiencing sagging upper eyelid skin
• Individuals with persistent under-eye bags
• People around 35 years or older
• Those with vision obstruction from eyelid skin

Surgical Preparation

Before blepharoplasty, patients will undergo a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Batniji. This includes a detailed medical history review, eye examination, and personalized treatment planning.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort for a few weeks following the procedure. Upper blepharoplasty results typically last five to ten years, while lower blepharoplasty can provide more permanent aesthetic improvements.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, and temporary dry eye. Dr. Batniji thoroughly discusses these considerations during the consultation process.
