Understanding Blepharoplasty: Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

Sagging and drooping eyelids can significantly impact appearance and self-confidence. At Rhinoplasty Institute of Chicago, blepharoplasty eliminates unwanted skin surrounding the eye, restoring a naturally youthful appearance.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure designed to address age-related changes around the eyes. The treatment targets specific concerns that develop over time:

• Loose or sagging upper eyelid skin
• Fatty deposits in upper and lower eyelids
• Prominent under-eye bags
• Severely drooping lower eyelids
• Excess skin and wrinkles

Types of Eyelid Lifts

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Ideal for patients with drooping upper eyelids, this procedure reduces loose skin and can enhance eyebrow positioning. In some cases, it may become medically necessary when upper lid skin impairs vision.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Designed to reduce under-eye bags and smooth wrinkles, this technique tightens sagging skin to create a more youthful, energized appearance for both men and women.

Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Jay Dutton, double-board certified in Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery, offers precise and sophisticated blepharoplasty techniques. His extensive training ensures optimal results with minimal complications.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within one week, with full results visible two to three months post-procedure. Individual healing varies, but patients can typically expect reduced bruising and swelling during recovery.

Personalized Consultation
