Blepharoplasty in Las Vegas, NV | Michael C. Edwards, MD, FACS

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten upper or lower eyelids. This transformative surgery addresses aesthetic and functional concerns by removing excess skin and creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

• Create a younger, rejuvenated look
• Improve vision with expanded line of sight
• Remove under-eye bags
• Enhance eye aesthetic and contour
• Eliminate loose, sagging eyelid skin
• Reduce discomfort from skin folds

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping or sagging upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure not only improves aesthetic appearance but can also resolve vision impairments caused by heavy eyelids.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery targets bulging skin and bags beneath the eyes. By carefully removing fatty tissue and subtly lifting the skin, surgeons create a smoother, more refined eye contour.

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for blepharoplasty typically experience excess skin on upper eyelids or bulging bags under eyes. Both men and women seeking to improve eye appearance and functionality are excellent candidates for this procedure.

Recovery and Results

Eyelid surgery typically takes up to two hours. Patients should plan for several days of rest and use ice packs to manage bruising. Results can last a decade or longer, with potential enhancement through complementary nonsurgical treatments.

Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty can be combined with procedures like brow lift or nonsurgical treatments such as BOTOX and dermal fillers.
