Let the Eyes Have It: Revitalizing Eyelid Surgery

Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery offers Blepharoplasty for patients seeking a more refreshed and youthful appearance. As aging progresses, the delicate skin around the upper and lower eyelids can lose firmness, causing drooping and a tired look.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to eliminate droopy, sagging eyelids and reduce under-eye puffiness. Dr. David E. Halpern performs this treatment to re-sculpt and reshape the eye area, providing both functional and cosmetic improvements.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Eliminates drooping under eyelids
• Removes bags from under the eyes
• Removes excess skin and wrinkles
• Potentially tightens lax lower eyelids
• Improves vision impaired by sagging upper lid skin

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

While patients over 40 typically seek blepharoplasty due to visible aging signs, younger individuals with hereditary under-eye puffiness or specific aesthetic goals may also be excellent candidates. Dr. Halpern offers personalized consultations to determine the most appropriate approach.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

The surgical process involves precise markings and careful removal of excess skin and fat. Depending on your specific needs, upper and lower eyelid surgeries can be performed separately or simultaneously. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to two hours under local anesthesia with IV sedation.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for five to seven days, with most individuals taking a full week off work. While the procedure does not stop the natural aging process, results can last up to 15 years, significantly rejuvenating your appearance.
