Advanced Eyelid Rejuvenation (Blepharoplasty) in Raleigh, NY

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore and rejuvenate the appearance of aging eyelids. This comprehensive treatment addresses both upper and lower eyelids, removing excess skin and repositioning fat to create a more youthful, refreshed look.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing redundant skin and addressing bulging fat deposits. This procedure can: • Improve visual field obstructions caused by heavy eyelid skin • Restore a more alert and youthful eye appearance • Potentially qualify for insurance coverage with proper documentation

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid procedures have evolved to become less invasive, with modern techniques emphasizing subtle improvements. Surgeons may combine fat repositioning with: • Minimal skin removal • Potential dermal filler integration • Complementary facial rejuvenation techniques

Surgical Procedure Details

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center performs blepharoplasty in an AAAHC-approved surgical facility under board-certified anesthesiologist care. The procedure typically takes 1-2.5 hours, depending on the complexity and whether upper and lower eyelids are addressed simultaneously.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery from blepharoplasty is generally smooth, with most patients experiencing: • Minimal pain • 7-10 days of initial swelling • Return to normal activities within two weeks • Restriction on strenuous exercise for four weeks

Insurance and Consultation Considerations

Some upper blepharoplasty procedures may be insurance-eligible if visual field impairment can be demonstrated through professional optometric testing. A comprehensive consultation will help determine the most appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.
