Blepharoplasty in Sterling | Berman Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Care Center

Understanding Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic concerns around the eyelids. Patients can choose to have upper lids, lower lids, or both areas treated simultaneously.

Upper Eyelid Surgical Technique

Berman Cosmetic Surgery employs a traditional blepharoplasty approach for upper eyelids, carefully removing excess skin and potentially removing fat deposits to create a more refreshed appearance.

Lower Eyelid Innovative Approach

Dr. Berman utilizes a distinctive technique for lower eyelid procedures: an internal incision that eliminates visible scarring. This specialized method ensures a natural-looking result with minimal external evidence of surgery.

Procedure Details

• Performed in-office setting
• Oral sedation and local anesthetic used
• Requires accompanying person for transportation

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

After blepharoplasty, patients can expect a more relaxed and open eye appearance. Minimal bruising and swelling are common during initial recovery.

Recovery Recommendations

• Apply ice packs in 20-minute intervals
• Elevate head while sleeping
• Suture removal approximately 6 days post-surgery
• Resume full exercise after 10 days

Additional Considerations

In some cases, Dr. Berman may recommend facial fillers as an alternative to surgical fat reduction for lower eyelids, depending on individual patient needs.

Complementary Procedure: Lateral Forehead Lift

For patients with descended lateral eyebrows, a supplementary 3-4 cm incision behind the hairline can be performed to elevate the eyebrow, enhancing overall aesthetic results.
