Eyelid Procedures in Fargo, ND
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure commonly known as eyelid surgery. It involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids to improve their appearance and/or function. Depending on the patient’s needs, either the upper or lower eyelids may be treated, or both. The goal of upper eyelid surgery is to improve the patient’s field of vision and give them a more awake, youthful appearance by removing extra skin and fat from the top eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery involves removing excess fat and/or skin from the lower eyelids to reduce puffiness and under-eye bags.
Blepharoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. The recovery period can take several weeks, during which time patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the eyes. However, most patients are able to resume normal activities soon after the procedure.
Blepharoplasty can have both functional and cosmetic benefits. Excess skin on the upper eyelids
can cause drooping and obstruct the visual field, which can be corrected through blepharoplasty. Bags under the eyes can make someone look tired and older than they actually are. Blepharoplasty can remove excess fat and skin from the lower eyelids to reduce the appearance of bags. Aging can cause the skin around the eyes to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. Blepharoplasty can tighten and smooth the skin, giving a more youthful appearance. By improving the appearance of the eyes, blepharoplasty can increase self-confidence and self-esteem.
