EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) IN COLUMBUS, IN

UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to
correct sagging or drooping eyelids. The eyelid's thin skin makes it
particularly susceptible to aging, often showing signs of
deterioration earlier than other facial areas. Weak muscles and tissue
supporting the eyelids can significantly impact peripheral vision and
daily activities.

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURES

FUNCTIONAL BLEPHAROPLASTY

Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, LLC offers functional
blepharoplasty for patients experiencing vision impairment due to
drooping eyelids. This medical procedure may be covered by insurance
if deemed medically necessary. Specialists use the Humphrey Visual
Field Analyzer to determine vision interference.

COSMETIC BLEPHAROPLASTY

Cosmetic eyelid surgery can be performed on upper or lower eyelids to
enhance appearance and refresh one's look. Techniques like
transconjunctival blepharoplasty allow fat removal through interior
incisions, ensuring no visible scarring.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EYELID SURGERY

 	* Individuals in good overall health
	* Non-smokers
	* Patients with healthy facial tissue and muscle
	* Those with no serious eye conditions

THE BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURE

Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, LLC performs
blepharoplasty as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia and
sedation. The surgery typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending
on whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are treated.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients return to work within a few days to a week. Surgeons
recommend avoiding strenuous activities for at least 2 weeks. Swelling
and side effects generally subside within 2 weeks, with final results
developing over several months.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While rare, potential side effects include temporary vision changes,
dry eyes, and minimal scarring. Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic
Surgery, LLC emphasizes the importance of realistic expectations and
thorough pre-surgical consultations.
