Aesthetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Winter Park, FL | Dr. Kapil Saigal, MD, FACS

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Aging, genetics, and environmental factors like sun exposure can cause skin and muscle changes around the eyes, creating a tired or puffy appearance. This procedure can restore a more youthful, energetic look while potentially addressing vision obstructions.

What Does Blepharoplasty Address?

Cosmetic eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat that accumulates in the eyelids over time. The procedure can correct several aesthetic concerns:

• Puffy eye bags
• Sagging upper eyelid skin
• Dark circles
• Fine wrinkles around the eyes

Surgical Technique and Approach

Dr. Saigal employs precise surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is strategically hidden in the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid procedures utilize incisions either inside the eyelid or beneath the eyelashes. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and muscles are repositioned to achieve a refreshed appearance.

Customized Procedure Options

Blepharoplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with complementary treatments. Potential additional procedures might include:

• Brow and forehead lift
• Facelift
• Chemical peel
• Laser skin resurfacing
• Facial fat transfer

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal pain following blepharoplasty. Bruising is uncommon and can typically be concealed with makeup. Most patients return to work within one week and should avoid strenuous activities for two weeks. Dr. Saigal provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
