Eyelid surgery, otherwise known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore the eyelid crease that may have been lost or affected by sagging skin, puffiness, or weakened muscles around the eyes. As we age, the delicate skin and muscles around the eyelids lose elasticity and strength, leading to an aged or tired appearance. Fortunately, with the expertise of Dr. Grover, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in blepharoplasty in the Orange County & Newport Beach area, these concerns can be addressed. Through careful eyelid rejuvenation, Dr. Grover tightens and tones the eyelid skin and muscles, helping patients achieve a youthful, refreshed look.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, offers both aesthetic and functional benefits. This procedure can rejuvenate your appearance by addressing sagging skin and puffiness around the eyes while improving vision impairment caused by drooping eyelids. Key benefits include:
You may consider eyelid surgery in Newport Beach & Orange County with Dr. Grover if any of the following applies to you:
Patients who have undergone eyelid surgery report that their peripheral vision has improved, opening and closing their eyes has become easier, and they no longer strain to keep their eyes open. In addition, the puffiness or exhausted look is noticeably less pronounced – your face looks younger, more engaging, and refreshed. Custom blepharoplasty, when performed correctly, can be a significant way to rejuvenate your look.
First, the natural crease of the eyelid will be traced using a marker to identify exactly where to make the tiny incisions. As the incisions are placed in the eyelid’s natural crease, the site will be virtually unnoticeable after healing. The second step involves removing the excess skin giving your eyes a droopy, older appearance. The muscles will be accessible, and Dr. Grover can tighten structures that lie beneath. Lastly, the incision site will be expertly sutured. Within a few weeks, the eyelids will appear freshly rejuvenated!
Complete recovery from blepharoplasty can take anywhere between a month to a month and a half. This allows the surgery site enough time to heal and lose its post-surgery swelling and bruising.
Within the first few days following the surgery, the skin near the eyes may feel tight and tender. Pain medications will be prescribed for mild to moderate pain and discomfort. Itching sensations near the incision site is a normal part of the healing process but abstaining from touching the area is a key in the speed of recovery.
After a week and a half, you should be able to resume your usual activities. Slight blurriness in the vision is can occur, and it is brought on by fatigue and activities that cause eyestrain. It is advised that you refrain from straining your eyes unnecessarily by avoiding excess reading and computer use.
In the third week after your surgery, swelling and bruising are minimal. Some patients begin to use make-up and contact lenses, but it is not unusual for other patients require a little longer to fully heal. Recovery is different for every patient.
By the sixth week of recovery, you will see the final results of your surgical procedure. Most patients are fully recovered at this point, and they have resumed all of their daily routines, looking younger and more vital.
