Top 5 Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Many of us find as we age that our eyes have the tired, puffy look of being out all night, but without any of the fun. Wrinkled skin, drooping, and undereye bags can affect your delicate eyelid skin at a younger age than many other areas. Upper or lower blepharoplasty corrects these effects of aging to restore a refreshed, bright-eyed look.

What is Blepharoplasty or an Eyelid Lift?

Blepharoplasty, which is also known as an eyelid lift or eyelid surgery, is a rejuvenation procedure that dramatically improves the appearance of your eye area with a short recovery time. Dr. Lanfranchi performs upper and lower blepharoplasty individually or together. An upper eyelid lift is often combined with a brow lift for individuals with drooping brows or “hooded” eyes. 

Top 5 Benefits of Blepharoplasty

People choose eyelid surgery for many reasons. Many people with a genetic predisposition to undereye bags will develop them at a relatively young age, and loose skin occurs naturally as a result of collagen loss. Dr. Lanfranchi may recommend this procedure for those seeking these benefits. 

Tightens Excess Skin

You may experience excess skin, especially in the upper eyelid area, and your eyelids may droop enough to make your eyes look tired. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and tightens the area for a smooth, refreshed appearance. 

Smooths Eye Bags

Eye bags and puffiness are a common concern. Caused by fat pads that shift and become visible through thinning skin, they cannot be treated with skincare products. Blepharoplasty removes this fat to eliminate your puffy undereye bags. 

Rapid Recovery

One reason people love blepharoplasty is being able to return to work in as little as four to seven days. You will be cleared to return to your exercise routine after a follow-up with Dr. Lanfranchi. Missing less than a week of work makes this procedure an appealing option for facial rejuvenation. 

See More Clearly

While you may not notice it happening, you can develop enough loose eyelid skin to get in the way of your peripheral vision. While this effect may be minor, some people are surprised by a wider field of view after their eyelid surgery. 

Feel More Confident

Eyelids that look older than you are can affect your confidence, and no amount of at-home treatments will eliminate loose skin or undereye puffiness. Blepharoplasty treats your areas of concern to give you the bright, rejuvenated eyes that match your youthful personality.

Am I a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is one of Dr. Lanfranchi’s favorite procedures, and many people currently enjoying the benefits feel the same. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if:

• You are a healthy adult
• You have realistic expectations
• You want to address signs of aging, excess skin, or puffiness around the eyes
• You want to look rejuvenated without a long recovery time
