Our eyes are often the first feature others notice and can significantly impact our overall appearance. If you’ve observed that your eyes make you look tired, aged, or perhaps even angry, you might consider eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego, we specialize in helping you achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes. It addresses sagging upper eyelids and puffy or baggy lower eyelids, which can make you appear older and more tired than you feel.

Who is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

While many associate facial plastic surgery with older individuals, it’s not uncommon to see sagging eyelids or bags under the eyes in people as young as their 30s. Individuals in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s can all be excellent candidates for this procedure.

The Procedure and Recovery:

Dr. Alavi, with over 25 years of experience and more than 3,000 eyelid surgeries performed, utilizes the latest techniques to remove excess skin and fat tissue around the eyes. The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes.

Eyelids heal relatively quickly due to the rich blood supply in the area. Patients can generally return to their normal routine within 4-5 days. Within a few weeks, you can expect to see significant overall improvement in the appearance of your eyes. Incisions are usually barely noticeable after healing.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery:

  • Youthful Appearance: Achieve a more rested and youthful look.
  • Improved Vision: In some cases, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelids.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and refreshed in your appearance.
  • Reduced Tiredness: Eliminate the appearance of fatigue around the eyes.
