Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure specifically designed to refresh the appearance of the eyes, which are often the earliest indicators of aging. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can lose elasticity, leading to sagging upper eyelids that may even impair vision, and puffy "bags" or dark shadows under the lower eyes. Blepharoplasty addresses these concerns by carefully removing excess skin, fat, and, in some cases, a small amount of muscle from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The overall purpose is to create a more open, rested, and youthful eye area. Our surgeons at Face N Body offer both upper and lower blepharoplasty, or a combination of both, meticulously tailoring the approach to meet your unique aesthetic goals and restore a vibrant, alert gaze.
The signs of aging often manifest prominently in the eyelids, and it's natural for patients to be concerned, given that the eyes are typically the focal point of one's face. Two primary conditions may necessitate correction:
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, effectively addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fat pads, thereby rejuvenating the eyes and restoring a rested, youthful appearance. For upper blepharoplasty, a fine incision is made discreetly within the natural crease of the eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are precisely removed, and the muscle may be tightened. For lower blepharoplasty, the incision is often placed just below the lash line or, for some patients, on the inside of the eyelid (transconjunctival approach) to address fat pockets without visible external incisions. Excess fat is carefully contoured or removed, and loose skin may be gently tightened.
Your blepharoplasty journey at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is characterized by precision and patient comfort, overseen by our renowned surgeons, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah. On the day of your procedure, your blepharopasty will be performed in our AAAHC-accredited surgery center in Upland, CA, where our attentive team and board-certified anesthesiologist prioritize your safety, comfort, and satisfaction above all else.
The procedure duration varies, typically ranging from one to two hours, depending on whether one or both sets of eyelids are treated. Our surgeons' artistic eye ensures results that are subtle, balanced, and beautifully harmonious with your overall facial features. For a comprehensive transformation, an additional procedure may be recommended to address fine lines or crow's feet around the eyes. You'll rest comfortably under our care before heading home.
Blepharoplasty specifically targets and effectively resolves common aesthetic and sometimes functional concerns affecting the eyelids, restoring a more refreshed and youthful expression. The procedure addresses:
By expertly refining these areas, blepharoplasty brightens your entire eye area.
Blepharoplasty precisely focuses on rejuvenating the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, to refresh the entire eye area.
Undergoing an eyelid lift procedure offers numerous benefits that extend far beyond the physical enhancements. Not only does it restore a refreshed, more youthful appearance to the eyes, but it also revitalizes self-confidence and self-esteem. The eyes are often the first feature people notice, and an eyelid lift can provide a significant boost in one's overall facial harmony and aesthetic appeal.
One of the most immediate and impactful benefits is the transformation of tired, heavy-lidded eyes into a more open, refreshed, and alert expression. By removing excess skin and fat, the eyes appear wider and more vibrant, truly reflecting your inner energy and making you look years younger.
For individuals whose sagging upper eyelids significantly obstruct their peripheral vision, blepharoplasty offers a crucial functional benefit. By carefully lifting and removing the excess skin, the procedure can expand your field of vision, enhancing your ability to see clearly and comfortably in all directions.
Say goodbye to persistent under-eye bags and puffiness that can make you look perpetually fatigued. Blepharoplasty meticulously addresses these concerns, smoothing the contours beneath your eyes and significantly reducing shadows, resulting in a rested and more invigorated appearance, even without a full night's sleep.
Eyelid surgery provides incredibly durable results. Once the excess skin and fat are removed, they do not typically reappear. While the natural aging process continues, the rejuvenating effects of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, often maintaining a refreshed look for a decade or more.
Excellent candidates for blepharoplasty are typically healthy individuals who are concerned about tired-looking eyes, puffy bags under the eyes, or sagging upper eyelids that may even interfere with their vision. Most patients considering this procedure are 35 years or older, though it can be performed earlier if genetics cause significant puffiness or droopiness. Ideal candidates are non-smokers and hold realistic expectations about the outcomes.
It's essential to disclose any pre-existing eye conditions, such as severe dry eye, glaucoma, or a detached retina, during your consultation. Our expert surgeons, Dr. Park and Dr. Cheah, will meticulously assess your eye area, discuss your medical history, and understand your aesthetic goals to determine if blepharoplasty is the most appropriate and beneficial procedure for you.
Recovery following blepharoplasty is generally manageable, and our compassionate team at Face N Body will provide clear, detailed post-operative instructions to support your healing.
Complications following eyelid surgery are infrequent, and the procedure does not require bandages. Some temporary post-surgical swelling or bruising may persist for about seven to ten days, but makeup can be applied within a few days. If you're considering eyelid surgery to revitalize your appearance, consult with Dr. Park for a personalized assessment and insights into the potential benefits of the procedure.
You will notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your eyelids directly after blepharoplasty as excess skin and fat are removed. However, initial swelling and bruising will temporarily obscure the full effect. As the swelling progressively resolves over the first few weeks, your eyes will begin to look more open, rested, and alert. The final, refined results, where the subtle contours become fully apparent, are typically visible around 3 to 6 months after your procedure.
The results of blepharoplasty are remarkably long-lasting. Once the excess skin and fat are carefully removed, they do not typically return. While the natural aging process will continue to affect your overall face, the specific improvements achieved with eyelid surgery are considered very durable. Most patients enjoy the rejuvenated appearance of their eyes for 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Blepharoplasty provides a significant and enduring enhancement, ensuring your eyes continue to reflect a refreshed and vibrant version of yourself for many years to come.

While blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness and shadows caused by protruding fat pads, it primarily addresses excess skin and fat. Dark circles caused by pigmentation or thin skin that reveals blood vessels may require complementary treatments, such as fillers or laser therapy.
Eyelid lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing you to be relaxed and comfortable but still able to follow instructions. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used.
Our surgeons meticulously place incisions in the natural creases of the upper eyelids and just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelids, making any resulting scars very discreet and typically imperceptible once fully healed.
Yes, for patients whose sagging upper eyelid skin is significant enough to obstruct their peripheral or upper field of vision, blepharoplasty can improve their functional vision in addition to cosmetic benefits.
There isn't a specific "ideal" age; it depends on individual needs. While often sought by those over 35, it can be performed earlier if genetics cause significant premature aging around the eyes.
Absolutely. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or facial fat grafting, to achieve a more harmonious and comprehensive overall refreshed appearance.
