Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Danville, CA | Vivek Bansal, MD

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Many individuals consider their eyes to be their most captivating feature. However, sagging skin around the eye area can diminish this natural allure, often creating a tired or displeased appearance. At Elite MD, plastic surgeons perform eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty to carefully lift and refine the skin around the upper or lower eyelids, restoring a bright, engaging look.

Blepharoplasty Procedure Techniques

Depending on the complexity of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be provided. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or a combination of both.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Decreases hanging skin drooping over the eye
• Incision typically placed along the lash line or natural crease
• Removes loose skin and fatty tissue

Lower Eyelid Surgery

• Improves puffy and bulging skin under the lower lid
• Incision placed just under the lash line
• Surgically removes fatty tissue
• Optional nonsurgical laser procedure for discoloration

Benefits of Blepharoplasty in Danville, CA

A customized eyelid lift at Elite MD offers multiple functional and aesthetic improvements:

• Enhanced eye contour and appearance
• More alert and youthful expression
• Potential vision line improvement
• Increased comfort by reducing skin friction
• Reduction of lower lid lumps

Consultation and Planning

During the initial consultation, Dr. Bansal will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment approach. The goal is to provide natural-looking results that address both aesthetic concerns and potential vision limitations.

Insurance and Treatment Options

If hanging skin significantly affects your vision, health insurance may cover part of the blepharoplasty. Patients will need documentation from an optometrist or ophthalmologist confirming medical necessity.

Alternative Treatments

While nonsurgical options like injectable treatments can provide some improvements, blepharoplasty remains the most effective solution for significant skin laxity and structural changes around the eyes.
