If you’re feeling self-conscious about your eyes, whether it’s because of drooping, puffiness, or other signs of aging, we have just the solution at YCO Facial Plastic Surgery, located in the sunny and vibrant community of Encinitas, California. Today, we’re talking all about blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery. Performed by our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Mario Yco, blepharoplasty has the power to establish a more awake, vibrant, and youthful appearance.

Rejuvenate Your Eyes with Blepharoplasty

Your eyes are often the first thing others notice about you. You can enhance your natural beauty with blepharoplasty and say goodbye to tired-looking eyes. This procedure works by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat around the eyes, thereby smoothing out your eyelids and giving you a more youthful appearance.

The Blepharoplasty Process

When it comes to blepharoplasty, Dr. Yco’s expertise is unparalleled. After a consultation to discuss your wishes and expectations, you’ll be guided through the whole blepharoplasty process from preparation to the surgery day and beyond. Post-procedure, we ensure your comfort during recovery, with most individuals returning to their regular routine within 1-2 weeks.

Your Procedure

During a blepharoplasty procedure, also known as eyelid surgery, Dr. Yco makes precise incisions along the eyelids’ natural creases to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed or repositioned to address issues such as droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, resulting in a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance around the eyes.

Your Recovery

After blepharoplasty, patients typically experience mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medications. It’s common to have some temporary discomfort or tightness in the eyelid area and sensitivity to light. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, although strenuous activities and wearing contact lenses should be avoided for a couple of weeks. Full recovery, including the resolution of swelling and optimal cosmetic results, may take several weeks to months, during which time regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Yco are essential for monitoring progress and ensuring the best outcome.

Your Results

The results of blepharoplasty often provide a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance around the eyes. Patients can expect smoother, firmer eyelid contours, reduced under-eye bags, and diminished puffiness. As swelling subsides and healing progresses, the eyes appear more refreshed and alert, contributing to a natural and harmonious facial appearance. With proper post-operative care and adherence to Dr. Yco’s post-op instructions, the results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and self-confidence.
