Blepharoplasty in Tampa, Florida

Understanding Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Jaime Perez

Dr. Perez, practicing since 2000, brings extensive experience and a personalized approach to blepharoplasty in Tampa, FL. With over two decades of surgical expertise, he understands that each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is an advanced cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate tired, aging eyelids. This outpatient treatment can address both aesthetic concerns and functional vision impairments.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Younger, more refreshed facial appearance
• Potential improvement in vision obscured by drooping eyelids
• Strategically concealed surgical incisions
• Customized treatment tailored to individual anatomy

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty

When upper eyelid muscles weaken and skin loses elasticity, Dr. Perez carefully removes excess skin, muscle, and fat. His technique ensures incisions are hidden in natural eyelid creases, providing a natural, rested appearance.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty

For patients experiencing under-eye bags or excessive sagging, lower lid surgery involves removing or repositioning excess tissue. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Expertise and Approach

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of South Florida, Dr. Perez combines technical precision with an artistic understanding of facial aesthetics.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Typical duration: 1-2 hours
• Performed as an outpatient procedure
• Local anesthesia or light sedation options
• Potential simultaneous upper and lower lid treatment

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience bruising and swelling for approximately one week. By the end of the first week, patients are typically "public-ready" with significantly reduced recovery signs.

Cost Considerations
