EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) ST. LOUIS, MO | C.B. BOSWELL, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY IN ST. LOUIS

Blepharoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure designed to address
aging and structural changes around the eyelids. The technique removes
or repositions excess fat, skin, and muscle from upper and lower
eyelids, effectively correcting drooping and puffy areas that can make
patients appear older or chronically tired.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

 	* Targets upper eyelid drooping and lower eyelid puffiness
	* Improves aesthetic appearance and potential vision obstruction
	* Customized approach based on individual facial anatomy

PATIENT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are typically 35 or older, though
genetic predispositions may warrant earlier intervention. Patients
with certain medical conditions like thyroid problems, dry eyes, or
cardiovascular issues should consult thoroughly with their surgeon.

C.B. Boswell, MD, FACS performs blepharoplasty using precise surgical
techniques. Incisions are strategically placed along natural eyelid

reposition excess tissue with minimal disruption.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Incisions follow natural eyelid lines
	* Carefully separates skin from underlying tissue
	* Removes or repositions excess fat and muscle
	* Closes with fine sutures for optimal healing

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS IN ST. LOUIS

Recovery from blepharoplasty requires patience and careful
post-operative management. Patients can typically return to normal
activities within 7-10 days, with complete healing occurring over
several weeks.

POST-OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS

	* Use cold compresses to manage swelling
	* Avoid strenuous activities for approximately 2 weeks

SURGERY & SKINCARE CENTER

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY: COMPREHENSIVE EYELID LIFT PROCEDURE

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or
reposition excess fat, skin, and muscle from the eyelids. This
transformative surgery addresses drooping upper eyelids and puffy
under-eye bags that can make patients appear older and chronically
tired, and in some cases, interfere with vision.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Body Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's blepharoplasty procedure focuses on
strategic correction of eyelid concerns. The surgery can target:

 	* Upper eyelid drooping (upper blepharoplasty)
	* Puffy bags beneath the eyes (lower blepharoplasty)
	* Combination upper and lower eyelid corrections

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

While most blepharoplasty patients are 35 or older, some individuals
with hereditary drooping may consider the procedure earlier. Certain
medical conditions can impact surgical candidacy, including thyroid
problems, dry eyes, cardiovascular issues, and diabetes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE IN ST. LOUIS

Surgeons at Body Aesthetic Plastic Surgery utilize precise techniques,
making incisions along natural eyelid creases to minimize visible
scarring. The procedure involves carefully separating skin from
underlying tissues, removing or repositioning excess fat, and trimming
sagging skin and muscle.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

 	* Surgery Duration: 1-3 hours
	* Anesthesia: Typically general
	* Initial Recovery: 7-10 days
	* Return to Normal Activities: Approximately 2 weeks

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Patients should understand that blepharoplasty will not eliminate
crow's feet, dark circles, or lift eyebrows. These concerns may
require additional complementary procedures.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS

Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries potential risks,
including temporary vision changes, infection, and healing
asymmetries. Body Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons
prioritize patient safety and comprehensive pre-surgical
consultations.
