UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY IN NEW ORLEANS, LA | CLAIRE MELANCON, M.D.

REVITALIZING YOUR EYES: UNDERSTANDING UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

The eyes are a central focal point of facial expression and
connection. As we age, the delicate eye area can develop excess skin
and fat deposits that make us appear tired or older. An upper
blepharoplasty provides a surgical solution to restore youthful,
vibrant eye aesthetics.

WHAT IS UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY?

Upper blepharoplasty is a precision surgical procedure designed to
remove excess sagging skin and minimize fat around the eyes. This
technique specifically addresses:

 	* Hooded eye appearances
	* Excess upper eyelid wrinkles
	* Protruding fat pockets
	* Vision obstruction from drooping eyelids

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The surgical technique involves creating delicate incisions within the
natural eyelid creases, strategically removing or repositioning excess
fat and skin, and precisely closing incisions with specialized
sutures. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia,
typically lasting one to two hours.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Upper blepharoplasty candidates generally include individuals
experiencing:

 	* Excess upper eyelid skin
	* Heaviness around the eyes
	* Signs of aging in the eye region
	* Potential vision obstruction

BENEFITS OF UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Patients can expect transformative results, including:

 	* A more youthful, refreshed appearance
	* Natural-looking surgical outcomes
	* Long-lasting or potentially permanent results

which resolves within a week. Most patients return to normal
activities within 10-14 days, with final results becoming visible
around six weeks after the procedure.

EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) NEW ORLEANS, LA | CLAIRE MELANCON,
M.D. - AUDUBON FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY: RESTORING YOUTHFUL EYE APPEARANCE

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure
addressing age-related changes in the eyelids. As skin loses
elasticity, eyelids can droop, creating a perpetually tired or angry
appearance. The procedure removes excess skin and potentially removes
fat pockets around the eyes to restore a more refreshed, rejuvenated
look.

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURES

UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on correcting drooping skin that may
obstruct vision or create a heavy, hooded appearance. This procedure
differs from a brow lift, specifically targeting the eyelid itself.

LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Lower eyelid surgery addresses wrinkles, sagging skin, and under-eye
bags, helping to create a smoother, more youthful eye contour.

BENEFITS OF BLEPHAROPLASTY IN NEW ORLEANS

 	* Reduces signs of aging around the eyes
	* Potential improvement in peripheral vision
	* Eliminates excess skin and fat deposits
	* Restores a more alert and refreshed appearance

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals experiencing:

 	* Drooping or sagging eyelids
	* Bags under the eyes
	* Vision obstruction due to excessive skin

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure typically performed under
local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Dr. Claire Melancon creates
precise, crescent-shaped incisions within natural eyelid creases to
minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed
to achieve natural-looking results.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which
typically subsides within six weeks. Most individuals can return to
normal activities after two weeks, with full results becoming apparent
as healing progresses.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While blepharoplasty is generally safe, patients should discuss
potential risks with Dr. Melancon during their consultation. Factors
such as medical history, eye health, and individual healing
capabilities will be evaluated.
