Eyelid Lift / Blepharoplasty

The early signs of aging often appear around the eyes, where the skin is especially delicate. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging upper and lower eyelids can create a tired, sad, or even angry appearance, impacting how others perceive you. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can help restore a more youthful, refreshed look while also improving functional issues, such as impaired vision due to excess skin.

Eyelid surgery is one of the most effective ways to address the visible signs of aging and achieve a more alert and vibrant appearance. Whether for cosmetic or functional reasons, blepharoplasty can target both the upper and lower lids. For cosmetic purposes, it addresses puffiness, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids, and fine lines around the eyes. In some cases, excess skin on the upper lids may hinder vision, and Dr. Godwin may recommend eyelid surgery to restore your full range of sight, improving both appearance and function.

What are typical patient concerns?

• Excess skin and wrinkles on the upper eyelids
• Puffiness and under-eye bags
• Droopy lids
• Diminished vision
• Aged, tired-looking eyes

What benefits will you receive from an eyelid lift?

• Brighter, more alert eyes and a refreshed overall appearance
• Reduced puffiness and under-eye fullness
• Smoother lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Lifting of eyelid skin to improve vision if excess skin is obstructing sight
• Restoring the natural contours of the eyelid area
• Long-lasting results

Is Blepharoplasty Right for Me?

When considering eyelid surgery, patients typically have three options: upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both, depending on their individual needs. Dr. Godwin’s approach to blepharoplasty is highly personalized, ensuring the procedure is tailored to help you achieve the best possible results.

Procedure:

Dr. Godwin utilizes his extensive experience to create strategic incisions that are carefully hidden, ensuring minimal scarring. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and scope of the surgery. Excess skin and fat are removed during the procedure to rejuvenate the eyelids and enhance your appearance.

Recovery:

Following the surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising, typically lasting one to two weeks. Most patients experience complete healing by the six-week mark. Temporary side effects like blurred vision, light sensitivity, or mild discomfort may occur, but these generally resolve quickly. Customized instructions will be provided to you before surgery. Dr. Godwin personally monitors your recovery and adjusts directions as indicated.
