Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Before & After Case 97

Upper eyelid surgery is one of the most popular methods Washington DC area patients have to rejuvenate the face. Upper eyelid surgery can be performed in the office via local anesthesia with minimal downtime. A variable amount of skin, fat, and muscle is modified to "lift" the eye. While Botox or Dysport injection can help smooth wrinkles around the eyes, plastic surgery is often still required to remove excess skin that develops with age.

This Virginia area woman was seeking to rejuvenate her appearance without excess plastic surgery. She was personally referred to Dr. Chaboki, a facial plastic surgeon, to review cosmetic treatments to help improve the appearance of her eyes. She had upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in the office via local anesthesia. Comfortable and awake during the procedure, a small amount of excess skin was removed to help "open" the eyes. She quickly returned to her normal activities, as downtime was minimal.
