Los Angeles Blepharoplasty
(Eyelid Enhancement)

Our Los Angeles blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery as it is commonly called, is a procedure performed by our Los Angeles plastic surgeons to remove fat and excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids. Our Los Angeles blepharoplasty procedure can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes which help make patients look younger and less tired. The Los Angeles blepharoplasty surgery will not remove crow's feet or eliminate dark circles under the eyes, nor will it lift sagging eyebrows (a brow lift will help with sagging eyebrows). This procedure can be done in an operating room with general anesthesia, or, in cases where only the upper lids are being done, may be done in-office using local anesthetic.

Typical Recovery Time for Blepharoplasty: After our Los Angeles blepharoplasty surgery, your Los Angeles plastic surgeon will instruct you to keep your head elevated for several days, and to use cool compresses to reduce swelling and bruising. Bruising varies from person to person with this procedure: it reaches its peak during the first week, and generally lasts anywhere from 2-3 weeks. Your stitches will usually be removed 2-7 days after surgery. Once they're removed, the swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside. Most patients need to avoid contact lenses for about 2 weeks. While everyone is different, most people feel ready to go out in public (and back to work) in about 7- 10 days after their blepharoplasty procedure.
