Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Scottsdale, AZ

What is Blepharoplasty?

A person's eyes are a beautiful feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes, excess skin on top or around the eyes can produce an unflattering look. Forma Plastic Surgery's board-certified plastic surgeons use eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin and lift the lower or upper eyelid, creating a softer look.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

A custom-tailored blepharoplasty procedure offers both functional and aesthetic benefits:

• Improving vision by expanding line of sight
• Reducing sagging eyelid skin
• Creating a more alert, awake, and youthful look
• Achieving a more pleasing overall eye aesthetic
• Removing under-eye bags
• Diminishing dark circles
• Enhancing comfort

Am I a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Upper or lower blepharoplasty is sought by both women and men. Ideal candidates typically suffer from excess, hanging skin and folds on the upper eyelid or bloated skin under the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause functional and vision difficulties that impact everyday life.

What to Expect from Eyelid Surgery

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery removes droopy skin over the eye, creating a more awakened and appealing look. An incision is typically made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing optimal healing and scar concealment.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery reduces bulging skin underneath the lower lid. Incisions are usually made below the lash line to remove excess skin and produce a flatter, smoother look.

Procedure Details

Eyelid incisions are closed with sutures and will need removal between 5-7 days post-procedure. Swelling and bruising is common but typically resolves within 10-14 days. Forma Plastic Surgery provides detailed aftercare instructions to optimize surgical results.
