Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Prospect, KY

Appearances play a significant role in our lives, and issues like drooping eyelids and under-eye bags not only alter one's looks but can also impede vision. This drives people to seek surgical solutions that rejuvenate the eye area. At Julene B. Samuels, MD, FACS in Prospect, KY, specialized blepharoplasty surgery enhances the youthful appearance and clarity of your eyes.

What is Blepharoplasty?

• Upper Blepharoplasty can repair loose skin and puffiness in the upper eyelid or herniated fat in the upper eyelid.
• Lower Blepharoplasty can repair lines and bags in the lower eyelid, deep hollows between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, and deep crow's feet lines around the outer eyes.
• Double Blepharoplasty enhances the look of both the upper and lower eyelids through surgical refinement, targeting excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyes.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Improved Field of Vision

Blepharoplasty can remove excess skin from the upper eyelids that may hinder vision, thus broadening the visual field. This enhancement improves both aesthetics and functional sight.

Youthful Appearance

By addressing bags under the eyes and drooping eyelids, blepharoplasty restores a youthful contour to the eye region. This change can make the entire face look younger and more refreshed.

Patient Candidacy

Eyelid surgery may be performed on men and women of all ages who want to improve their self-image. Ideal candidates include individuals with loose skin, puffiness, under-eye bags, or deep hollows around the eyes.

Surgical Approach

The procedure varies in time but averages one to three hours. It may be performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, with incisions strategically placed in natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling typically become less noticeable within 10-20 days. Early results are visible immediately, though complete healing may take several months.
