Blepharoplasty Jacksonville

For a Blepharoplasty in Jacksonville, you should contact Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery to schedule an appointment with our board certified eyelid surgeon at our JCAHO accredited facility. Since the eyes are often the first thing people notice about your face, reversing the signs of aging can have a significant impact on your appearance. As the face ages, the natural tone and shape of our eyelids can droop and accumulate fatty pockets. The puffy appearance of your sagging eyelids can make you look older than you really are. Our board certified plastic surgeons can perform an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin and tighten eyelid muscles to reverse the signs of your facial aging.

Sometimes, the combination of excess skin and sagging pockets of fat can obstruct the patient's field of vision. To correct the effects of aging on the upper eyelids, the excess skin and fat are removed by our plastic surgeon through an incision hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. If the eyelid droops, the plastic surgeon will reposition the muscle that lifts the upper lid and tighten the eyelid using fine sutures. Fatty deposits in the lower eyelids can be removed and the skin is repositioned along the inner surface of the lid. In some cases, your plastic surgeon my recommend a chemical peel or other type of resurfacing to smooth and tighten the lower eyelid skin.

The most aesthetic results are often achieved by a combination of cosmetic corrective procedures to reverse the signs of facial aging. When an upper and lower blepharoplasty is performed at the same time, several corrective and reconstructive techniques can be incorporated during your cosmetic eyelid lift. Plastic procedures such as forehead lift, brow lift, neck lift, Lifestyle Lift® and laser skin resurfacing can be used by the plastic surgeon to enhance the results of your blepharoplasty. If you suffer from other eye, orbit, eyelid or tear duct problems, it is important to inform your doctor when you discuss your blepharoplasty at our Jacksonville office prior to eyelid surgery.

If you're depressed over the dark circles under your lower eyelids, you should seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best corrective options for reducing the signs of aging. Dark circles around areas of the eye are one of the most common complaints that we hear at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery. As we age, the skin surrounding the eyes can become thin allowing the darker contents of the globe to appear more obvious. Based on your skin type and tone, the skin itself may also darken from light scarring making the skin less opaque. Our technicians can demonstrate the best way of using camouflage makeup as an effective cover for pre-op and post-operative applications.

Recovery from a blepharoplasty and related eyelid lift surgery can last a few days to a couple of weeks for more radical plastic procedures. Our plastic surgeons always take special care to control the bleeding that causes post-operative bruising but your specific skin type will impact your appearance in the days immediately after your eyelid surgery. If you have concerns about bruising and swelling, our professional staff can provide important tips that will help in reducing your discomforts.
