UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY IN SAN ANTONIO

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a specialized plastic surgery
procedure designed to correct sagging or drooping eyelids. The
eyelid's delicate skin makes it one of the first facial areas to
exhibit aging signs, potentially affecting peripheral vision and daily
activities.

REASONS FOR EYELID SURGERY

Earl E. Ferguson MD performs blepharoplasty to address both functional
and cosmetic concerns, including:

 	* Removing excess skin that interferes with vision
	* Tightening weakened eyelid muscles and tissue
	* Eliminating drooping skin in the visual field
	* Improving overall facial appearance

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY

FUNCTIONAL BLEPHAROPLASTY

When eyelid sagging significantly impacts vision, a functional
blepharoplasty may be medically necessary. Dr. Ferguson uses the
Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) Analyzer to determine vision impairment
and potential insurance coverage.

COSMETIC BLEPHAROPLASTY

Cosmetic eyelid surgery can be performed on upper or lower eyelids to
create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Techniques like
transconjunctival blepharoplasty allow fat removal with minimal
visible scarring.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EYELID SURGERY

 	* Individuals in good overall health
	* Non-smokers
	* Patients with healthy facial tissue and muscle
	* Those with realistic aesthetic expectations

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Blepharoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure requiring local
anesthesia and sedation. The surgery takes 45 minutes to 2 hours,
depending on the extent of correction needed.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients return to work within a week, with full healing
occurring over several weeks. Patients should avoid strenuous
activities and protect their eyes during initial recovery.

EYELID LIFT SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) SAN ANTONIO, TX | ELITE PLASTIC
AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EYELID SURGERY IN SAN ANTONIO

As individuals age, the skin around the eyelids begins to descend, and
supporting tissue weakens. This natural process can lead to hooding
around the eyelids, causing a tired appearance or potentially
compromising vision. Blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure
designed to address these age-related changes.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM BLEPHAROPLASTY?

Patients might consider blepharoplasty if they experience:

 	* Excess upper eyelid skin interfering with vision
	* Droopy lower eyelids exposing white below the iris
	* Prominent under-eye bags
	* A consistently tired or aged appearance

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Elite Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery performs blepharoplasty as an
outpatient procedure, typically lasting approximately one hour. The
surgery can be conducted under local or general anesthesia, depending
on the patient's specific requirements and preferences.

During the consultation, Dr. Chattar-Cora thoroughly evaluates each
patient's unique facial anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals.
This personalized approach ensures a tailored surgical plan that
addresses individual concerns while maintaining natural-looking
results.

RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Patients can expect minimal discomfort following the procedure.
Typical recovery guidelines include:

 	* One week of reduced activity
	* Wearing sunglasses to protect healing skin
	* Keeping the head elevated during rest
	* Following specific wound care instructions

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty involves potential risks
such as temporary numbness, vision changes, and scarring. Elite
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery provides comprehensive patient
education to ensure informed decision-making.

COST AND CONSULTATION IN SAN ANTONIO

The cost of blepharoplasty varies based on the complexity of the
procedure. Most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic eyelid
surgery. Patient financing options are available to make the procedure
