What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of droopy, tired-looking eyes and restore a more youthful, alert appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recovery time for blepharoplasty?
Most patients can return to normal activities within 7-10 days after blepharoplasty. Initial swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks, with final results becoming apparent after 2-3 months.
Will blepharoplasty affect my vision?
Blepharoplasty can actually improve vision by removing excess skin that may be impairing your peripheral vision. Temporary blurriness may occur immediately after surgery due to swelling, but this resolves as healing progresses.
How long do blepharoplasty results last?
Blepharoplasty results can last for many years, often 10-15 years or more. The longevity depends on factors such as age, skin quality, and lifestyle habits. While the procedure cannot stop the natural aging process, it can significantly delay the need for future eyelid surgery.
Can blepharoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, blepharoplasty is commonly combined with other facial procedures such as facelift, brow lift, or injectable treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Nichols will discuss the best approach for your individual needs during your consultation.
What are the risks of blepharoplasty?
As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries some risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, and temporary changes in sensation. Dr. Nichols uses advanced techniques to minimize these risks and will discuss all potential complications during your consultation.
