No Sagging Skin in Sight

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin and may remove or reposition fat in the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Removing excess upper eyelid skin may also improve vision when that skin is obstructing it, while helping create a more rested appearance.

Beautiful, Natural Results

Blepharoplasty vs. Facelift

Blepharoplasty and a facelift both address signs of facial aging, but they target different areas. A blepharoplasty procedure addresses excess skin and, when appropriate, fat around the eyelids. A facelift lifts and repositions tissues in the lower face, including the cheeks and jawline. It does not replace eyelid surgery for concerns involving the upper or lower eyelids.

Achieving Realistic Goals

What Can Blepharoplasty Do?

Blepharoplasty procedures may benefit healthy individuals with sagging skin on and around the eyelids. You should consult with your primary care doctor or Dr. Santosa during your consultation if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions. Dr. Santosa can advise whether to postpone surgery or consider other options based on your health and goals.

Blepharoplasty Preparation and Procedure

Our Atlanta blepharoplasty patients receive individualized instructions about medications, nicotine, alcohol, and sun exposure before surgery. Do not stop prescribed medication without guidance from your surgical team and prescribing clinician.

Dr. Santosa will begin your procedure by gently cleaning all around the eyes, eyelids, upper cheeks, and brow areas. Once you are under general anesthesia, Dr. Santosa will make small incisions based on which eyelids are being treated. Incision placement is planned to blend with the natural eyelid contours. Dr. Santosa will then remove excess skin and close the incisions with sutures before applying dressings.

Your Health is Important

Blepharoplasty Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

As early swelling subsides, improvement becomes more visible, although you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising while your eyelids heal. Many of our blepharoplasty patients feel ready to return to public settings after about two weeks, although swelling and bruising vary. Follow Dr. Santosa's instructions about bending over, straining, and heavy lifting during the first few weeks after surgery. These activities can increase pressure around the healing area. Final healing and refinement can take several months. Results may include smoother eyelid contours and a more rested appearance.

Maintaining Your Blepharoplasty Results

Maintaining your results includes taking care of your skin and body. Healthy habits and ongoing sun protection can support your skin, although natural aging will continue. Protect the healing eyelid skin from sun exposure according to Dr. Santosa's instructions. Dr. Katherine B. Santosa offers her patients supplements intended to help reduce bruising after the procedure. She will schedule a next-day post-op consultation with you to observe how you're doing. Your well-being and satisfaction come first, so you will be given the information to get a hold of Dr. Santosa or her team at any time after your procedure if you ever have questions or concerns.

Blepharoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Do blepharoplasty procedures leave scars?

Blepharoplasty incisions are planned to blend with the natural eyelid contours. Scars typically become less noticeable over several months, but they may remain visible. Their appearance depends on the incision location, your skin, and how you heal.

Will it hurt?

General anesthesia is used during your procedure. Discomfort, swelling, and soreness can occur afterward, and the duration varies. Dr. Santosa will provide a plan to help manage discomfort. Seek urgent medical attention for severe eye pain or changes in vision.

What are the risks?

As with any surgery, blepharoplasty carries risks. These include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, altered sensation, difficulty opening or closing the eyelids, and temporary or permanent vision changes. Loss of vision is very rare. Dr. Santosa will discuss your individual risks and explain how to reduce the chance of complications during recovery.

How much does it cost?

Since every patient and procedure is different, it is difficult to provide an exact cost for a blepharoplasty procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Santosa's team can give you more information and answer any questions about the procedure and payment options.

Blepharoplasty performed solely for cosmetic reasons is generally not covered by insurance. A medically necessary procedure may qualify for coverage, depending on your insurer's criteria and documentation requirements. Dr. Santosa's team can answer any questions you may have about pricing, payment, or financing during your consultation.
