Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Tallahassee, FL | Jeffrey M. Rawlings, MD, FACS

Understanding Eyelid Lift Surgery in Tallahassee

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Tallahassee Plastic Surgery specialists perform this procedure to restore a more youthful, alert, and rested look to the eye area.

Conditions Treated by Eyelid Lift Surgery

• Loose or sagging upper eyelid skin
• Excess skin potentially obstructing vision
• Puffy fatty deposits in upper or lower eyelids
• Under-eye bags
• Lower eyelid droopiness
• Fine wrinkles around the eye area

Surgical Techniques for Upper and Lower Eyelids

Upper blepharoplasty involves making an incision within the natural upper eyelid crease to remove excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue. Lower blepharoplasty can be performed through an internal incision to redistribute fat or through an external incision below the lash line to remove excess skin.

Recovery and Results in Tallahassee

Patients can expect bruising to subside within 5-10 days and swelling to decrease over 2-4 weeks. Keeping the head elevated during recovery helps minimize swelling. Most patients observe immediate changes, with final results becoming more refined over 1-3 months.

Cost Considerations

Eyelid lift surgery costs vary depending on specific techniques, anesthesia requirements, and procedure complexity. A personalized consultation will provide the most accurate pricing information.
