Oxnard Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift Surgeon

Eyelid and Brow Plastic Surgeon for Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and San Fernando Valley

Blepharoplasty is a surgical modification of the eyelid. This procedure can be performed for both functional and cosmetic reasons. Excess tissue such as skin and fat are removed or repositioned. Also surrounding tendons and muscles may be tightened. Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging, or tired-looking eyes by the removal or repositioning of skin, fat, and tissue in both the upper and lower eyelid. Besides being performed for aesthetic reasons, it may improve eyesight by lifting droopy lids out of the individual's field of vision.

Blepharoplasty may be performed in an office with a local anesthesia in about 45 minutes. It can be combined with other treatments such as a face lift or non-surgical facial treatments to raise eyebrows, reduce wrinkles, crow's feet, or dark circles under the eyes. Brow lift is commonly considered in patients who present for eyelid rejuvenation. Sometimes a brow correction can eliminate or reduce the need to treat the upper lid. Often both procedures are performed together.

Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty is usually done by making incisions along the natural skin lines of the eyelids, such as the creases of the upper lids and below the lashes of the lower lids. The lower eyelid may also be treated without any external incisions by addressing the excess fat through the inner surface of the eyelid. The anatomy of the individual's eyelids, age, skin condition, and adjacent tissue all have an effect on the final outcome of this surgery.

Sometimes the treatment may include adding patient's own fat or repositioning the fat to other areas. External skin tightening may also be necessary using energy devices such as plasma or lasers. Brow lifting is performed through incisions in the hairline to remove or reposition the excess forehead skin to allow the brows to create a more awake and youthful eye appearance. 

Recovery from this procedure may take up to a few weeks.
