Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Kettering, OH | Sunishka Wimalawansa, MD, MBA

Understanding Blepharoplasty

As individuals age, eyelid changes can significantly impact appearance and vision. Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address age-related eyelid transformations by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eye area.

Why Choose Blepharoplasty?

Advanced Plastic and Hand Surgery offers professional blepharoplasty procedures to help patients restore their youthful eye appearance and potentially improve visual function. This surgical intervention targets multiple aesthetic and functional concerns related to the eyelids.

Conditions Treated by Blepharoplasty

• Sagging eyebrow area
• Loose upper eyelid skin creating unnatural folds
• Fatty deposits causing puffy eyelid appearance
• Persistent under-eye bags
• Drooping lower eyelids
• Fine wrinkles around the eye region

Vision Improvement Potential

Severe eyelid sagging can obstruct peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty effectively removes excess skin, potentially expanding the patient's visual field and enhancing overall eye functionality.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

The blepharoplasty process begins with a comprehensive consultation. Advanced Plastic and Hand Surgery conducts detailed medical history reviews, discusses potential outcomes, and performs preoperative evaluations including vision tests and precise eyelid measurements.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

While most patients experience minimal discomfort, recovery involves managing temporary swelling and bruising. Typical healing periods range from 10 to 14 days, with specific activity restrictions to ensure optimal results.

Recommended Post-Surgery Restrictions

• Avoid swimming for one week
• Refrain from strenuous activities like aerobics and jogging
• Do not lift heavy objects
• Postpone contact lens usage for two weeks
