Dr. Jessica Belz of San Antonio, TX, often works with patients who have imperfections of the face and body that make them feel self-conscious about how they look. When individuals notice changes to their eyes that give them an aged appearance, they may approach a plastic surgeon to determine the treatment options available to them. This is when some men and women might learn more about the benefits of upper eyelid surgery, often referred to as “blepharoplasty.” Below are several of the common, frequently asked questions about blepharoplasty seen by our team of professionals.

What is upper eyelid surgery?

Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to create a more youthful appearance. This can also improve vision in cases where excess tissue causes the eyelids to droop and obstruct the field of vision.

Who is a good candidate for this eyelid procedure?

Good candidates for upper eyelid surgery are typically adults with healthy facial tissue and muscles and no serious eye conditions. You should have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery. Dr. Jessica Belz will assess your individual needs during a consultation to determine if blepharoplasty is the right option for you.

What can I expect during the recovery period?

There may be some swelling and bruising in the immediate aftermath of surgery, but these effects should subside within a week or so. Dr. Jessica Belz may provide you with specific instructions for care during your recovery period, such as keeping your head elevated and avoiding strenuous activity. Follow all aftercare instructions closely to ensure optimal results from the surgery.

Are there any potential risks associated with blepharoplasty?

As with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks involved with upper eyelid surgery. These can include infection, changes in vision, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Our team will explain all potential risks and how they can be minimized during your initial consultation appointment.
