what is blepharoplasty?
The eyes are an attractive component of the face that deserves to be visible; however, an excess of skin above or under the eyes can produce an unflattering look. Our seasoned cosmetic team uses blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, to lift and tighten the upper or lower eyelid to create a more youthful look. So many men and women undergo eyelid surgery at Plastic Surgery Vegas to reduce puffy bulges, leading to improved functionality and aesthetic. Whether upper or lower, eyelid surgery creates a fresh, youthful appearance and can produce natural yet striking improvements. If you are interested in refreshing your eyes with blepharoplasty, contact us to schedule a consultation at our office in Las Vegas, NV.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Blepharoplasty?
Upper or lower blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement that is sought out by both men and women. At your first visit, treatment alternatives will be provided by our team based on your areas of concern that need to be corrected. Most often, ideal candidates have excess, hanging skin and folds on the upper eyelid, or bloated skin below the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause functional problems that can get in the way of normal, everyday life. For a more awake appearance, blepharoplasty may be the right procedure for you. If you have excess, hanging skin on the upper eyelid, or bulging bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can treat this to provide you with a softer appearance.

Blepharoplasty Reviews
What a great office. Everyone I encountered was warm, friendly and answered all my questions with rational and facts. I felt truly cared for. I love that everything was in one location ,and my surgery and appointments were all included in the price. No surprises. Dr. Higgins is awesome. Not only are his surgical skills top notch and award winning, but his personality is open, friendly, kind, honest and funny. My husband came to all my appointments with me just because he enjoyed talking with Dr. Higgins. During my eye lid surgery, a mass was discovered. Dr. Higgins dealt with it and removed it without problem. I required more postop appointments than normal because of it and they were all included at no extra charge. I also loved all the preop education and supplements that were included. They have thought of everything. I loved this experience and now I have beautiful eye lids. I get many compliments on my eyes.
I cannot possibly rave about Dr. Silver enough. I had been to 4 other surgeons to discuss a blepharoplasty. I never felt fully comfortable with anyone I met with.

He made me feel so comfortable and it resurred me I was in the best possible care. I truly feel Dr. Silver isn't just a surgeon but a true artist. I know he does what he does because he truly loves it. He cares about every tiny detail and obtaining the best possible results. I have had insecurities about my under eye bags my entire life and through his refined skill set and artistry I can honestly say he's changed my life and my confidence indefinitely. I would absolutely trust him with anything in the future I were to do and wouldn't even bother looking elsewhere. Thank you Dr. Silver and team.

What Are The Different Types Of Eyelid Surgeries?
Depending on the type and complex nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. This surgery may be done on the top eyelid by itself, on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both eyelids.
-
Upper
Upper blepharoplasty assists in decreasing the excess skin that impairs vision to produce a more flattering look. The incision point is often placed along the natural crease to remove loose skin and fatty tissue. -
Lower
Eyelid correction on the lower lid is performed to improve bulging, bloated skin under the lower eyelid. The incision is placed just under the lash line to allow access to remove fatty tissue, and the skin is subtly lifted to produce a smoother look. Sometimes, a nonsurgical laser treatment can be applied to help with discoloration while injectable fillers can be used for additional smoothness and softening if necessary. -
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure tailored to address drooping or sagging upper eyelids. Over time, aging, genetics, and environmental factors can lead to excess skin and fat accumulating in the upper eyelid area. This not only affects your aesthetic but can also cause discomfort and hinder your vision.
By choosing upper blepharoplasty, you can achieve a more refreshed and open-eyed appearance. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, resulting in a smoother and more youthful eye contour. The subtle yet significant changes achieved through upper blepharoplasty can boost your self-confidence and help you appear more alert and vibrant.
-
Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is another excellent option for individuals looking to revitalize their facial appearance. This procedure is specifically designed to address the natural aging process, which often causes the eyebrows to droop and the forehead to develop deep lines and wrinkles.
A brow lift can restore a more youthful and energetic look by lifting the brow and smoothing out forehead creases. This not only enhances your overall facial harmony but can also reduce the appearance of sagging upper eyelids. As a result, your eyes appear more open, refreshed, and alert.
Choosing both upper blepharoplasty and a brow lift together can provide a harmonious rejuvenation for your entire upper face, helping you achieve a more youthful and confident appearance.
In conclusion, if you desire to combat signs of aging and regain a more youthful, vibrant look, consider the transformative power of upper blepharoplasty and a brow lift. These procedures can help you achieve your cosmetic goals and boost your self-esteem. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and embark on your journey towards a more refreshed and rejuvenated you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Eyelid surgery not only helps to rejuvenate your appearance, but it can also improve other aspects of your life. You may find your vision field is greater when excess skin from your upper eyelid is removed. It can also be easier to apply eye shadow and other makeup when your upper lid is smooth. Eliminating fine lines, paper-thin skin, puffy bags, and dark circles under your eyes can make your eyes appear fuller and brighter without a lot of makeup.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles might be better treated with a facelift or brow lift as the improvements of blepharoplasty are confined to the eyelids only. Blepharoplasty may be performed with a nonsurgical treatment, such as BOTOX, which combats wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. An injectable filler can also be effective because it adds volume for a softer, smoother appearance. In your initial consultation, we will create your unique treatment plan based on your goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Noninvasive skin tightening procedures and injectable treatments (for example, BOTOX, Juvéderm, and Restylane) may provide mild improvements. Although, if you have moderate to severe sagging skin or want results that last a long time, an eyelid lift is better for your needs. When you have talked to our team about your needs and goals for your eyes, we can explain our recommendations for your surgical or nonsurgical treatment plan. We might also recommend both nonsurgical and surgical procedures for your best results.
Can I wear contact lenses after blepharoplasty?
After undergoing blepharoplasty, it's essential to give your eyes ample time to heal before resuming the use of contact lenses. Typically, patients may be advised to wait at least two weeks before wearing contacts again. Your surgeon will provide personalized advice during your follow-up appointments to ensure a safe and effective recovery process.
How does blepharoplasty affect dry eye symptoms?
Blepharoplasty can have varying effects on dry eye symptoms. It's crucial to discuss any pre-existing eye conditions with your surgeon before the procedure, as they can tailor the surgery to minimize the risk of worsening dry eye symptoms or recommend additional treatments to manage the condition.
Is there an age limit for undergoing blepharoplasty?
There is no strict age limit for undergoing blepharoplasty. The suitability of the procedure depends more on the individual's health, skin condition, and specific concerns rather than age alone. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine whether blepharoplasty is appropriate for you, regardless of your age.
What Should I Expect After A Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery can last up to two hours, considering whether one or both eyes are treated. After surgery, you should plan a few days to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Ice packs can help reduce bruising and swelling. The results from blepharoplasty may last a decade or longer, but while they are lasting, aging does not stop. To continue to enhance your surgical outcomes, nonsurgical treatments at Plastic Surgery Vegas, such as fillers, peels, and lasers, can be added to create a youthful-looking appearance.
Younger-Looking Eyes
If your vision is impaired from excess skin on the upper eyelid, or you suffer from bulging bags underneath your eyes, then upper or lower blepharoplasty at Plastic Surgery Vegas may be right for you. This treatment can help you look refreshed and youthful while offering a beautiful solution to your vision impairment concerns. We invite you to contact our office in Las Vegas, NV to make a consultation with our skilled team of cosmetic specialists.
