What is an eyelid lift?

All Eyes on You?

Blepharoplasty is commonly known as an eyelid lift or eyelid surgery. It is a cosmetic procedure that can improve the appearance of your eyelids by removing excess skin that is wrinkled or aged. Droopy eyelids can be the result of a variety of factors, including age, sun exposure, or genetics. It can all be addressed by a skilled plastic surgeon. An eyelid lift surgery or blepharoplasty is a procedure to address:

  • Puffy bags beneath your eyes
  • Sagging or hooded upper eyelids
  • Eyelid skin that is excessive
  • Physical obstruction to your vision

What are the benefits of a Blepharoplasty?

Restore Your Natural Beauty

The best blepharoplasty Washington DC patients can get is from Drs. Jules Feledy and Eric Maiorino at Belmont Plastic Surgery.

The results of eyelid surgery can create a change in your appearance, which may cause you to look younger, leading to an improved quality of life and self-confidence. It is not uncommon for an eyelid lift to be combined with brow lift and neck lift surgery. These can also be performed simultaneously for even better results. By removing these signs of aging, Dr. Feledy and Dr. Maiorino can create beautiful results that leave their patients feeling confident again! Washington DC plastic surgeons Dr. Jules Feledy and Eric Maiorino offer more than 20 years of combined experience performing eyelid surgery.

Get Rid of Droopy Eyelids

Am I a good candidate for an Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a procedure that can significantly improve your appearance, but it’s not for everyone. If you want to learn if you’re a good candidate for eyelid surgery, here are some questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I often look tired even though I get plenty of sleep?
  • Do I feel like I have dark circles under my eyes or deep lines on my lids?
  • Does excess skin make me feel self-conscious?
  • Are these issues causing distress or preventing me from doing things I enjoy?
  • Do others tell me that they notice these flaws as well?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, blepharoplasty may be right for you. The best candidates for blepharoplasty are healthy non-smokers with reasonable expectations about what the surgery can offer. Most Washington DC blepharoplasty patients tend to be above the age of 35, as this is when sagging or drooping eyelids can start to become a problem.

"I had upper eyelids that were a little droopy, which made me look very stern. After my eyelid lift, my eyes are much more feminine, and my face has a happier, more approachable look to it. I can't thank Dr. Feledy and his staff enough. Best decision ever!””

Flawless and Scarless

Your Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure that typically takes one to two hours under local or IV sedation. It begins by making an incision along the natural fold of the eyelid, which ensures that scars will be virtually invisible. Excess skin is removed, along with some muscle and fat, and then the incision is closed.

Rest Your Eyes

Blepharoplasty Recovery

You will receive a lubricating ointment that will help to protect your eyes from damage and dryness. You may have some tenderness and mild discomfort the day after your surgery. This can be treated with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol. For most patients, the initial redness and numbness will pass after several days, while others have experienced some swelling and bruising for one to two weeks after surgery. To help with any further discomfort, you may receive a prescription medication following the procedure.

Just One Look…

Blepharoplasty Results

Once you have fully recovered from the eyelid surgery, the final results should be visible between 1-2 months. Due to the targeted nature of the incisions, the scar should be nearly invisible and your eyelids should appear smoother and firmer.

Frequently Asked Questions

All surgeries carry some form of risk or complication that can be minimized by a qualified surgeon. The risks associated with eyelid surgery include injury to the facial nerves, infection, bleeding, and potential scarring. All efforts are taken to ensure any risks are mitigated. You may be required to see your eye doctor and complete a visual eye exam before you can undergo eyelid surgery for medical cases. Be sure to ask Dr. Feledy or Dr. Maiorino about these risks during your consultation.

Blepharoplasty is usually a quick, outpatient procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. However, some patients are nervous or anxious about surgery without significant sedation. In that case, Dr. Feledy or Dr. Maiorino may recommend general anesthesia to maximize your comfort. Once you wake up from your eyelid lift surgery in Washington DC, you should be able to go home with a friend or family member. It is recommended that a friend or family member drive you home if the procedure is performed under local anesthesia as well as the eyelids can get swollen right after the procedure.
