What is Blepharoplasty?

The eyes are a beautiful component of the face that deserves careful attention. Excess skin around the eyes can produce an aging facial appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough performs eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, to lift and tighten lower or upper eyelids, creating a softer and rejuvenated look.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

  • Improve vision obstructed by excess upper eyelid skin
  • Eliminate puffy under-eye bags
  • Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance
  • Enhance facial symmetry

How Blepharoplasty Works

Depending on the surgical complexity, general anesthesia or IV sedation will be utilized. The procedure can target upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. For upper eyelids, an incision is carefully made along the lash line or crease to remove excess tissue and fat. Lower eyelid surgery focuses on removing fatty tissue and subtly lifting skin to produce a smoother contour.

Dr. Rough has performed or participated in 4 surgeries to treat both my first and second bouts with breast cancer and reconstruction. He is one of the kindest, caring and financially fair doctors I have every worked with. He gives out his personal cell number in case there are recovery issues over the weekend or at night. He is cautious about treatment options and will help his reconstruction and elective plastic surgery patients understand a risk/benefit treatment analysis to determine the best course of action for each patient. He is very patient and will spend as much time as the patient needs to discuss procedures and consider alternatives. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, I knew that I could completely trust my cancer surgeon and Dr. Rough. He has strong and collegial working relationships with the best breast cancer surgeons in Tucson, his staff, and hospital colleagues. I would send (and have sent) anyone I know who needs a plastic surgeon for any reason to Dr. Rough and am very thankful that he has been my doctor since 2020. He is really extraordinary.

I can’t thank Dr. Rough enough! I worked very hard over the years to be healthier and lose weight. The weight loss left me with a lot of residual skin making it difficult to participate in some physical activities. I still felt uncomfortable. I was nervous about taking the next step with surgery knowing abdominoplasty would make improvements I needed. I met with several surgeons in town. The information from them was a bit overwhelming and complicated and the surgery sounded scary and I felt stuck. A person in the industry recommended Dr. Rough. After my first consultation with Dr. Rough, I felt confident and excited about choosing to move forward and be free of the remnants that were a barrier to the active lifestyle I wanted. Dr. Rough made the entire process not only comfortable but truly life-changing. From our first consultation, he was incredibly kind, caring, and informative. He took the time to explain every detail of my procedures, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident and well-prepared. His willingness to listen and address my concerns made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. Throughout my multiple surgeries, the level of care I received was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure I was supported every step of the way, from pre-op to recovery including at times after hours. The results are phenomenal—better than I could have ever imagined! His staff Marissa and Elisa are also very caring and helpful. They provide exceptional customer service. Every time I have contacted Marissa she is responsive and friendly and takes time to answer questions or address my concerns warmly and professionally. If you’re looking for a surgeon who truly cares about his patients and their outcomes, I highly recommend Dr. Rough. He is an extraordinary artist! His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine compassion set him apart. I am forever grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life! Thank you, DR! L.J.
