PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY

As patients age, the delicate eye area often shows the first signs of
aging through excess skin, wrinkles, and drooping eyelids. Factors
like genetics, sun exposure, allergies, and facial expressions can
accelerate these changes, resulting in a tired or angry appearance.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure designed
to improve the aesthetic of both upper and lower eyelids.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EYELID SURGERY

Candidates for blepharoplasty typically experience one or more of the
following concerns:

 	* Heavy upper eyelids with drooping skin
	* Fatty bags causing puffiness or bulging
	* Lower eyelid concerns including excess skin or fatty deposits
	* Visible creases between lower eyelid and cheek (tear trough
deformity)

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Kim performs blepharoplasty using advanced techniques under local
anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure involves strategically
removing excess skin and fatty tissue through carefully placed
incisions:

 	* Upper eyelid incisions made in natural crease to minimize visible
scarring
	* Lower eyelid fatty tissue removed through transconjunctival
incision
	* Potential fat injections to restore volume in tear trough area
	* Precise suturing to ensure optimal healing

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients experience minimal discomfort during blepharoplasty recovery.
Key recovery guidelines include:

 	* Keep head elevated post-surgery
	* Use cold compresses to minimize swelling
	* Sutures removed approximately one week after surgery
	* Return to work possible within one week
	* Full physical activity resumption after 2-4 weeks
