Blepharoplasty in Plano | Alfred R. Antonetti, M.D.

Understanding Blepharoplasty: Eyelid Surgery Overview

The eyes communicate powerful emotions and can significantly impact facial appearance. Excess skin, under-eye circles, and puffiness can create an unintended impression of fatigue or frustration. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, offers a sophisticated solution to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Comprehensive Eyelid Surgical Techniques

Dr. Alfred Antonetti specializes in customized eyelid surgery techniques addressing both upper and lower eyelid concerns. The procedure can be performed independently or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation treatments.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on:

• Removing excess skin above the eyes
• Reducing puffiness
• Improving upper eyelid crease definition
• Tightening underlying muscles

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery addresses:

• Skin tightening
• Wrinkle reduction
• Minimizing under-eye bagginess
• Potentially reducing dark circles

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty candidates range from younger patients with genetic predispositions to older individuals experiencing age-related changes. Beyond cosmetic benefits, the procedure can also improve obstructed vision caused by drooping eyelids.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves managing temporary swelling and bruising. Patients are advised to:

• Apply cold compresses
• Avoid strenuous activities
• Protect eyes from sun and wind
• Limit eye-straining activities
