Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Palm Desert, CA

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to rejuvenate the eye area by removing excess skin and fat. Eko Plastic Surgery offers this transformative facial surgery to residents of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Cathedral City.

Procedure Overview

During a blepharoplasty, surgeons carefully remove or reposition excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. This delicate procedure can:

• Create a more youthful, rested eye appearance
• Improve peripheral vision obstructed by excess upper eyelid skin
• Address cosmetic and functional concerns simultaneously

Surgical Technique

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or sedation. Incisions are strategically placed in natural eyelid creases or just below the lashes, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Excess tissue is carefully removed or repositioned to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery typically spans one to two weeks. Patients might experience temporary bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. While results are long-lasting, natural aging processes will continue to affect the eye area over time.

Candidacy and Consultation

Each blepharoplasty is uniquely tailored to the patient's specific anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. Eko Plastic Surgery recommends a personalized consultation to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine blepharoplasty with additional facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts or brow lifts to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
