Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Los Angeles, CA

Understanding Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty addresses tired, puffy, or aged-looking eyes by strategically removing excess skin and fat. Dr. Shay B. Dean offers personalized eyelid surgery techniques that target individual concerns and restore a more youthful appearance.

Personalized Blepharoplasty Approaches

Each eyelid surgery is uniquely tailored to the patient's specific needs. Potential improvements include:

• Removing excess skin from upper or lower eyelids
• Reducing puffiness by removing excess fat
• Lifting droopy or weak eyelids
• Redefining eyelid creases

Procedure Limitations

Patients should understand that blepharoplasty does not address additional concerns such as crow's feet, droopy eyebrows, or scowl lines. Alternative treatments like wrinkle treatments or brow lifts might be recommended for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Surgical Details and Recovery

Dr. Dean's blepharoplasty procedures typically follow these parameters:

• Surgery duration: 30-90 minutes
• Anesthesia: Sedation or local anesthesia
• Procedure type: Outpatient
• Recovery timeline: 3-14 days for initial healing

Post-Surgical Expectations

Patients can expect mild discomfort managed with prescription medication. Swelling and bruising typically improve within 3-14 days, depending on the surgical extent.

Scarring Considerations

Incisions are strategically placed along lower lash lines or upper eyelid creases, ensuring minimal visible scarring. In some cases, lower lid fat removal can be performed through internal incisions, leaving no external scars.
