Blepharoplasty
The early signs of aging aren’t anything to scoff at. From the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose, saggy skin, these cosmetic issues can take your once youthful good looks and transform them into an unrecognizable version of yourself. One area that displays these changes the most is your eyes.
As you get older, the region around your eyes may acquire a droopy look that can make you appear sad or tired, and may even adversely affect your vision as it becomes more severe. Fortunately, these changes don’t have to last forever. Thanks to blepharoplasty, you can reclaim your youthful appearance for years to come. Board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Park, of The Center for Dermatology Care in Thousand Oaks, California, is an expert blepharoplasty procedures.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate loose, saggy skin that accumulates around the eyes to provide a more youthful and alert appearance. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and deposits of fat. Dr. Park will then reposition the muscle structures responsible for giving the eyes their shape.
An eyelid lift will generally last about one to two hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. This means, you can return home soon after the surgery is completed. To be safe, you will need to arrange assistance driving home after the surgery. It is also imperative that you take time off to rest and recuperate so that you give the treatment area time to heal properly.

You can expect to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising after the procedure, but this will subside as you recover.
