Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Miami, FL

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Miami

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from upper eyelids and reduce bagginess in lower eyelids. Patients typically choose this surgery for cosmetic purposes or to improve obstructed vision caused by sagging eyelids.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty dramatically improves the appearance of tired, droopy eyelids by removing excess fat and skin from upper and lower eyelid areas. Patients often combine this procedure with complementary treatments like brow lifts to enhance overall eye rejuvenation.

Complementary Treatments

• Dermal fillers for lower lid enhancement
• Neurotoxin injections to minimize crow's feet
• Laser resurfacing for skin texture improvement
• Brow lift for comprehensive eye area rejuvenation

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

The ideal blepharoplasty candidate is typically over 35 years old, in good health, and has realistic expectations about the surgical outcome. Candidates may include individuals with:

• Tired-looking eyes
• Puffy upper eyelids
• Excess upper eyelid skin
• Vision obstruction due to sagging eyelids

Surgical Procedure Details

Upper Eyelid Surgery

During upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Gallo carefully removes excess fatty tissue and skin through incisions made in natural eyelid creases. This technique minimizes visible scarring and creates a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery focuses on removing fat deposits and tightening saggy skin. Dr. Gallo may use discrete incision techniques inside the eyelid or beneath lower lash lines to ensure minimal visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild discomfort and swelling following the procedure. Most blepharoplasty results last 5-7 years, with lower eyelid surgery often requiring only a single intervention. Dr. Gallo utilizes minimally invasive techniques to optimize recovery and natural-looking outcomes.
