Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Portland, OR | Sean McNally, MD, PhD

Understanding Blepharoplasty

A person's eyes are often the most striking feature of their appearance. Excess skin can obscure even the most beautiful eyes, creating a tired and unflattering look. Dr. Sean McNally specializes in eyelid surgery to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelid, creating a softer, more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

A personalized blepharoplasty offers numerous practical and cosmetic enhancements:

• Extend vision by improving line of sight
• Create a more awake, alert expression
• Achieve a younger, rejuvenated look
• Minimize sagging in upper and lower eyelids
• Reduce bulging in lower lids
• Improve eye contour and appearance
• Decrease discomfort from skin folds

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals experiencing excess, sagging skin on eyelids or vision impairment due to drooping skin. Suitable candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure.

Blepharoplasty Procedure Details

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty addresses loose skin drooping over the eye. The incision is strategically placed along the lash line or natural crease to remove excess skin and tissue.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery reduces puffy and bulging skin beneath the eye. An incision is typically made just under the lash line to remove fatty tissue and create a smoother, softer appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

The procedure typically lasts up to two hours. Patients should plan for approximately one week of rest, using cold compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort. Results can last a decade or longer, though the natural aging process continues.

Complementary Treatments

To enhance surgical outcomes, Dr. McNally may recommend nonsurgical treatments like fillers, peels, and laser procedures to maintain a rejuvenated appearance.
