I’ve had such a great experience at Renuance, from sales, front desk reception, and clinical staff. They are always personable and friendly. They are prompt and efficient. Communication is excellent. Dr. Ford did a wonderful job with the surgery itself. Follow up has also been a pleasure. They kind of feel like family. I recommend them highly!

Procedure

On the day of your eyelid surgery, you’ll find reserved parking next to our private entrance. Our team will guide you to a secluded area, separate from other patients, where you’ll change into a surgical gown in your own private room.

Blepharoplasty typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on whether you’re having upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both treated.

The surgery will be performed in our operating room, with a dedicated anesthesiologist on-site. For upper blepharoplasty done without the lower one, we use local anesthesia. Following the procedure, you’ll recover in our private facility, monitored by our nursing staff.

Blepharoplasty FAQ

Will I have visible scars after blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty scars are typically very well-hidden. For upper eyelids, the incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid. For lower eyelids, we often make the incision just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. These scars usually fade to become nearly invisible over time.

How long will I need to take off work after eyelid surgery?

Most patients can return to office work within 7-10 days. If your job is more physically demanding, you might need up to two weeks off. We recommend planning for at least a week of downtime to allow for initial healing and for most of the visible bruising to subside.

Will blepharoplasty change the shape of my eyes?

Our goal is to enhance your natural eye shape, not change it dramatically. We aim to create a more refreshed, open look while maintaining your unique features. If you have specific concerns about your eye shape, we can discuss this during your consultation.

Can blepharoplasty fix my droopy eyelids that are blocking my vision?

Yes, blepharoplasty can significantly improve vision problems caused by excess upper eyelid skin. In fact, if your droopy eyelids are impacting your field of vision, your insurance may cover part of the procedure. We can perform tests to determine if you qualify for insurance coverage.

I'm worried about looking 'overdone' or having that 'surprised' look. How do you prevent this?

We understand this concern. Our approach is always to create natural-looking results. We carefully measure and plan how much skin and fat to remove to avoid an overdone appearance. Our goal is for you to look refreshed and more awake, not surprised or ‘windblown’.

How long do the results of blepharoplasty last?

Blepharoplasty results are typically long-lasting. While it doesn’t stop the aging process, many patients enjoy their results for 10-15 years or more. The lower eyelids rarely need to be redone, while the upper eyelids might need a touch-up after a decade or so.

Can I combine blepharoplasty with other procedures?

Yes, many patients combine blepharoplasty with other facial procedures like a facelift, brow lift, or non-surgical treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. This can provide more comprehensive rejuvenation. We can discuss combination options based on your goals during your consultation.

Will I be able to close my eyes properly after surgery?

Yes, you will be able to close your eyes normally after healing. During the first few days post-surgery, your eyelids might feel tight, but this resolves quickly. We’re very careful to remove just the right amount of skin to improve your appearance without affecting eyelid function.

How soon can I wear contact lenses and makeup after blepharoplasty?

We typically recommend waiting about two weeks before wearing contact lenses and about 10-14 days before applying eye makeup. This allows your incisions to heal properly and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. We’ll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions.

I only need my upper eyelids done. Is the surgery easier or quicker?

Upper eyelid surgery alone is generally a simpler procedure than combining upper and lower eyelids. It usually takes about an hour and can often be done under local anesthesia with sedation. Recovery time might also be slightly shorter, but it still requires proper care for optimal healing and results.
