UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY: EYELID REJUVENATION SURGERY

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical
procedure designed to improve the appearance of upper and lower
eyelids. This transformative treatment addresses drooping eyelids and
puffy under-eye bags by carefully removing or repositioning excess
skin, muscle, and fat.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EYELID SURGERY IN ALBUQUERQUE

Qualified blepharoplasty candidates typically exhibit the following
characteristics:

 	* Excess skin obscuring the natural upper eyelid fold
	* Drooping lower eyelids revealing white below the iris
	* Puffy bags beneath the eyes
	* Vision impairment due to sagging eyelid skin

POTENTIAL CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY

Patients with the following conditions may not be suitable for eyelid
surgery:

 	* Severe dry eye syndrome
	* Bleeding disorders
	* Thyroid complications
	* Autoimmune diseases
	* Uncontrolled diabetes
	* Cardiovascular disease

BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Prior to surgery, Dr. Kunkel conducts a comprehensive health
evaluation and medical history review. The procedure is typically
performed as an outpatient surgery under local anesthesia with
sedation or general anesthesia, depending on individual patient needs.

SURGICAL APPROACH AND RECOVERY

During the procedure, precise incisions are made to remove or
reposition excess tissue. Post-surgical recovery involves temporary
swelling and bruising, which typically resolves within several weeks.
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal
healing and minimize potential complications.

LONG-TERM RESULTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Blepharoplasty results are generally long-lasting. However, natural
aging processes, sun exposure, and gravitational changes can influence
the longevity of surgical outcomes over time.
