What Can Blepharoplasty Treat?
Medical-grade injections like Botox and Restalyne can deliver substantial amounts of improvement to the appearance of the upper and lower eye area, but are not a permanent solution. Patients are often recommended for blepharoplasty if they have:
- Baggy upper eyelids
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids
- Fatty deposits in the eyelids
- Heavy bags and wrinkles under the eyes
- Excess skin that hangs below the eyes
Other Characteristics of an Ideal Candidate
In addition to experiencing common symptoms of eye discomfort and loss of visibility, it is important for patients to meet several criteria that will ensure they have a low risk for potential complications both during and after the blepharoplasty. As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks that individuals must consider before scheduling their surgery date, including:
- Being a nonsmoker
- Having no related medical conditions that may negatively influence your results
- Being aware of appropriate after-care that will be needed

Recovery & Results
