What is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and sometimes function of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This versatile surgery can address various concerns around the eye area, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Upper Blepharoplasty

For patients with excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids, upper blepharoplasty removes hooding and creates a more open, youthful eye appearance. This procedure can also improve vision when drooping skin significantly blocks the field of sight. The incisions are hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid, making scars virtually invisible once healed.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles by removing or repositioning fat deposits for a refreshed look. This procedure can also tighten loose skin in the lower eyelid area. Incisions may be placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid for minimal visible scarring.

Complete Eyelid Rejuvenation

Many patients benefit from both upper and lower procedures performed together for comprehensive eye area enhancement and dramatic results. Dr. Diaz recognizes that every patient requires a unique approach for optimal results.

Who is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is ideal for individuals seeking to improve the appearance or function of their eye area. Whether for cosmetic enhancement or to address vision issues, this procedure can provide significant benefits. Here’s what makes a good candidate for blepharoplasty:

Cosmetic Concerns

Eyelid surgery is perfect for those unhappy with:

  • Excess eyelid skin that creates a hooded appearance
  • Under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Drooping eyelids that make you appear tired or aged

Functional Issues

If drooping upper lids interfere with your vision or peripheral sight, upper blepharoplasty can improve your field of vision while enhancing your appearance.

Health and Expectations

Good candidates should:

  • Be in overall good health
  • Be a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes
  • Be bothered by the appearance of their eyelids

Eyelid Surgery FAQs

What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids that can create a hooded appearance or interfere with vision. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and sometimes loose skin in the lower eyelid area. Many patients benefit from both procedures performed together for comprehensive eye rejuvenation. Dr. Diaz will assess your specific needs during consultation to recommend the best approach.

How visible will my scars be after eyelid surgery?

Dr. Diaz places incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring. Upper eyelid scars are hidden in the natural crease and become virtually invisible once healed. Lower eyelid incisions are placed inside the eyelid, making them invisible. The blepharoplasty scar is considered to be one of the least noticeable scars in all of cosmetic surgery.

What is recovery like after eyelid surgery?

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week after surgery. Ice packs and keeping your head elevated help minimize these effects. Many patients return to work within 7-10 days, though you may want to plan for additional time if your job requires public interaction. Stitches are typically removed within one week. Full results become apparent as swelling completely resolves over 1-3 months.

Can eyelid surgery improve my vision?

In cases where excess upper eyelid skin significantly droops and blocks peripheral or central vision, upper blepharoplasty can indeed improve your field of vision. This functional improvement is often covered by insurance when medical necessity is documented. Dr. Diaz will assess whether your eyelid concerns are purely cosmetic or if there’s a functional component that could benefit from surgical correction.

Will eyelid surgery help with crow’s feet or brow sagging?

Eyelid surgery primarily addresses skin and fat issues within the eyelid area itself. While it can create a more youthful appearance, it doesn’t treat crow’s feet (which respond better to Botox) or significant brow sagging (which may require a brow lift). During your consultation, Dr. Diaz may recommend complementary treatments to achieve your overall aesthetic goals for the eye area.

How long do eyelid surgery results last?

Eyelid surgery results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their improved appearance for 10-15 years or more. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements from blepharoplasty are permanent in the sense that your eyes will always look younger after blepharoplasty than they would look without blepharoplasty. Maintaining good skincare and sun protection can help preserve your results for many years.

Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals with excess eyelid skin, under-eye bags, or drooping eyelids that make them appear tired or aged. You should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be bothered by the appearance of your eyelids. Some patients also qualify when drooping upper lids interfere with their vision. Dr. Diaz will evaluate your candidacy during a comprehensive consultation.

Can I combine eyelid surgery with other procedures?

Yes, eyelid surgery is commonly combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive results. Popular combinations include brow lifts (to address forehead sagging), facelifts (for overall facial rejuvenation), or non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. Dr. Diaz will discuss which combinations are appropriate for your goals and can safely be performed together.

How much does eyelid surgery cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost of eyelid surgery varies depending on whether you need upper, lower, or both eyelids treated, as well as the complexity of your case. In Beverly Hills, upper blepharoplasty typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, while lower blepharoplasty ranges from $7,000 to $12,000. Combined procedures may offer cost savings. Dr. Diaz provides detailed pricing during your consultation, and we offer flexible financing options to make your procedure more accessible.
