Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Metairie, LA | the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa

About Blepharoplasty in Metairie

A person's eyes are a beautiful facial feature that deserves to be visible. Excess skin around the eyes can create a tired and unflattering appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters performs blepharoplasty to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelids, creating a younger and more awakened facial appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement suitable for both women and men. Ideal candidates typically experience:

• Excess, drooping skin on the upper eyelids
• Skin folds that impair vision
• Puffiness or bulges under the eyes
• Functional difficulties caused by eyelid skin

Surgical Techniques

Upper Eyelid Procedure

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on decreasing skin folds that may impair vision. The incision is strategically placed along the lid crease, allowing for precise fat removal and skin excision.

Lower Eyelid Procedure

Lower eyelid correction addresses puffy and bulging skin beneath the eye. Surgeons carefully make an incision along the lash line to remove excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, more refined appearance.

Treatment Options for Hooded Eyelids

• Surgical Upper Eyelid Lift
• Brow Lift
• Non-surgical BOTOX® Brow Lift

Procedure Details

Blepharoplasty typically takes up to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Patients should plan for approximately one week of recovery, using cold compresses to manage swelling and discomfort.

Potential Procedure Benefits

• Improved vision
• More alert and youthful appearance
• Reduced skin irritation
• Enhanced facial symmetry
