Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) for New Orleans, LA

About Eyelid Surgery

A person’s eyes are a beautiful feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes an excess of skin around the eyes can produce a tired and unflattering facial appearance. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters uses eyelid surgery (known as a blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelid, creating a younger and awakened facial appearance. So many men and women receive eyelid surgery at Dr. Jules Walters to eliminate saggy eyelids, improving functionality and facial appearance. Blepharoplasty, whether lower or upper, creates a more alert appearance and can produce subtle yet noticeable improvements.

How To Treat Hooded Eye Lids

Both surgical and nonsurgical methods can correct hooded eyelids and restore a more alert appearance. Treatment options include:

• Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty): Droopy eyelid surgery techniques like upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to improve contour and create a more youthful look. It is particularly effective for significant hooding that impacts vision or creates a heavy appearance.
• Brow Lift: Elevates the position of the eyebrows to reduce forehead creases and lift sagging skin; this treatment is ideal for hooding caused by drooping brows rather than excess eyelid skin.
• BOTOX® Brow Lift: This nonsurgical option uses injections to relax the forehead muscles and subtly lift the brows. It is best for individuals with mild hooding who prefer a non-invasive approach and are committed to ongoing maintenance treatments every 3 to 4 months.

What To Expect

Blepharoplasty of the upper or lower eyelid can take up to two hours, considering whether both eyes or one is treated. After this outpatient surgery, you should plan to recover and rest at home for about a week. A cold compress can assist in reducing discomfort, swelling, and bruising. The outcomes from this surgery may last a decade or longer, but while they are long-lasting, aging does not stop. To maintain your surgical outcomes, you can add other nonsurgical cosmetic treatments at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa, such as fillers, peels, and lasers can be added to create a youthful-looking appearance.
