Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure can help alleviate a heavy or drooping appearance, creating a more alert and youthful look.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower blepharoplasty addresses concerns in the lower eyelid region, such as under-eye bags and puffiness. The surgeon may remove or redistribute fat deposits and tighten loose skin to achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Large amounts of excess skin may require some skin removal.
Get to Know Dr. Stallman
An oculofacial plastic surgeon, he specializes in cosmetic eyelid surgery and other facial rejuvenation procedures.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or brow lift , for more comprehensive results. Wrinkled, redundant skin of the lower lid is often improved with chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can also accelerate the healing process after facial plastic surgery.
Recovery and Results
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can resume normal activities within 7-10 days. Final results typically become apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks to months.
Other Eyelid Options
If you’re seeking less invasive procedures, injectable fillers such as Restylane®, JUVÉDERM®, and RADIESSE® can be used to treat the area around the eyes. Lower lid puffiness can be significantly camouflaged, cheek volume enhanced and wrinkles filled. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments may also be performed to limit frown creasing, “crow’s feet,” and elevate the brows. This can be performed in the office with minimal downtime!
Dr. Stallman offers both non-invasive procedures and additional plastic surgery to complement their blepharoplasty. Call him at
