Are You Considering Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery?

1. Are You Considering Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery? Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure offered by The Eye Center P.A. that can improve the appearance of the eyelids. It is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed on the upper eyelids, and it can help to reduce wrinkles, puffiness, and sagging skin. Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States and has become increasingly popular due to its ability to give patients a more youthful appearance. The Eye Center P.A., located in South Carolina, offers blepharoplasty for upper eyelids, as well as other ophthalmic services such as cataract surgery and laser vision correction. Blepharoplasty can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, sagging skin on the upper eyelids that may cause vision obstruction, or excess skin on the upper lids that may interfere with vision. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and sedation if desired by the patient. The first step in blepharoplasty is a consultation with an ophthalmologist at The Eye Center P.A. During this consultation, your doctor will examine your eyes and discuss your goals for blepharoplasty with you so they can determine what type of procedure will best suit your needs. Your doctor will also discuss any risks associated with blepharoplasty such as infection or scarring so you can make an informed decision about whether it’s right for you. After deciding to go ahead with blepharoplasty surgery at The Eye Center P.A., you will meet with their team of experienced surgeons who will discuss pre-operative instructions such as stopping certain medications before surgery and avoiding sun exposure prior to your procedure date. On the day of surgery itself, you will be given local anesthesia which numbs only certain areas during your procedure; this ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the entire process while still being able to follow instructions from your surgeon if needed during surgery itself. After your procedure is complete, you may experience some redness or swelling around your eyes, but these effects should subside within a few days after surgery; more severe side effects are rare but should be discussed with your surgeon prior to undergoing any type of plastic surgery procedure like blepharoplasty at The Eye Center P.A. At The Eye Center P.A., we understand how important it is for patients undergoing these procedures to feel comfortable throughout their entire treatment process, so we strive to provide personalized care tailored specifically for each patient’s individual needs throughout every step of their journey with us—from diagnosis through recovery—in order to ensure they receive optimal results from their treatment plan as quickly as possible with minimal downtime involved afterwards.
