Have you noticed your eyelids becoming heavy, causing you to look tired even when you're well-rested? You're not alone. This common concern can be addressed with either surgical or non-surgical methods. But which option is right for you?
For over 21 years, I’ve been performing blepharoplasty to help patients address sagging eyelids to refresh their overall facial appearance. What I love about this procedure is that an upper blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia if desired or with a light cocktail or light oral sedation in about an hour. The procedure itself has very little discomfort, as well as the recovery. Patients can have dramatic results and be ready for social interaction in just over a week. As facial plastic surgery procedures go, upper blepharoplasty is an easy way to achieve great results with minimal downside for the patient.
“In my 10-plus years at NewBeauty, I’ve seen a lot of dramatic before-and-after photos, and blepharoplasty (aka eyelid surgery) cases have always stood out as some of the most incredible transformations.”
Top Questions About Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Bleph):
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an upper bleph, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper eyelids. This can improve the appearance of drooping eyelids, reduce puffiness, and create a more alert and youthful look. **How Much Does Upper Blepharoplasty Cost? **
The cost of blepharoplasty can vary depending on several factors, including the surgeon's experience, geographic location, and the complexity of the procedure. In Austin, TX, the average cost can range from $4,000 to $7,000. However, a consultation with The Buckingham Center can provide a more accurate estimate for your individual needs.
Eyelid Lift Before and After Photos:
Dramatic results are a hallmark of successful blepharoplasty. While showcasing before and after photos can be helpful, it's important to schedule a consultation for personalized expectations. You can discover some of our dramatic results from our team of skilled facial plastic surgeons here.
Non-Surgical Options for Eyelid Rejuvenation:
For those seeking a less invasive approach, several non-surgical options can provide temporary rejuvenation:
- Botox: This injectable relaxes muscles that contribute to brow drooping and the appearance of heavy eyelids.
- Dermal Fillers: Strategic injections can address under-eye puffiness and create a smoother appearance.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: This treatment targets fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, promoting a more youthful texture.
