What is Dermatochalasis?
Dermatochalasis refers to the excess skin on the upper eyelids, often causing a tired or aged appearance. It can also lead to functional issues such as obstructed vision. Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical solution aimed at correcting dermatochalasis and restoring a more youthful, refreshed look to the eyes.
The Procedure
During an upper blepharoplasty procedure, our experienced surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and, if necessary, address any protruding fat pads that contribute to the heaviness of the eyelids.
This process is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural-looking results.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns, assess your eyelid anatomy, and discuss your desired outcomes.
- Preparation: On the day of the procedure, you will receive local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.
- Incision: Small, discreet incisions are made along the natural creases of the upper eyelids, minimizing visible scarring.
- Skin and Fat Adjustment: Excess skin is carefully excised, and any protruding fat pads are addressed to achieve a balanced, rejuvenated appearance.
- Closure: The incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures, promoting optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Healing and Recovery
After your upper blepharoplasty, you can expect a relatively smooth recovery process. You may experience some swelling and bruising initially, which typically subsides within a week or two. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage any discomfort and promote healing.
Patients are usually able to resume normal activities within a few days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few weeks. You’ll notice gradual improvements as swelling diminishes, with final results becoming apparent in the following months.
Combining Treatments
For patients with mild dermatochalasis or as a maintenance option post-surgery, we also offer neuromodulator injections, such as Botox. These injections can help relax the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and complementing the results of upper blepharoplasty.
