A person’s eyes are a beautiful feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes an excess of skin around the eyes can produce a tired and unflattering facial appearance. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters uses eyelid surgery (known as a blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelid, creating a younger and awakened facial appearance. So many men and women receive eyelid surgery at Dr. Jules Walters to eliminate saggy eyelids, improving functionality and facial appearance. Blepharoplasty, whether lower or upper, creates a more alert appearance and can produce subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Upper or lower blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement performed on both women and men. At your first visit, Dr. Walters will explain your treatment options based on your areas of concern. Generally, ideal candidates are impaired by excess, drooping skin and folds on the top eyelid or excess skin just under the bottom eyelid. These irregularities can cause functional and vision difficulties that get in the way of normal, everyday activities. For a more awake look, blepharoplasty may be the appropriate surgery for you. If you have hanging skin that folds over on the upper eyelid or bulges and puffiness under the eyes, blepharoplasty can treat this to provide you with a more youthful appearance.
Depending on the type and complex nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be provided. This cosmetic procedure may be done on the top eyelid by itself, under or on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both eyelids.
Upper eyelid surgery assists in decreasing the folds of skin that impair vision to produce a more awakened and appealing look. The incision point is often placed along the lid crease to excise loose skin and fatty tissue.
Eyelid correction on the lower lid improves puffy and bulging skin beneath the lower lid. In most cases, an incision is carefully made along the lash line to surgically remove tissue and fat, and the skin is subtly lifted to allow for a softer, flatter look. Sometimes, a nonsurgical laser procedure may be incorporated to help with discoloration, while fillers or fat grafting can be used for more smoothness and softening if desired.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

Blepharoplasty of the upper or lower eyelid can take up to two hours, considering whether both eyes or one is treated. After this outpatient surgery, you should plan to recover and rest at home for about a week. A cold compress can assist in reducing discomfort, swelling, and bruising. The outcomes from this surgery may last a decade or longer, but while they are long-lasting, aging does not stop. To maintain your surgical outcomes, you can add other nonsurgical cosmetic treatments at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa, such as fillers, peels, and lasers can be added to create a youthful-looking appearance.
Dr. Walters draws from his exceptional training, experience, and skill to create beautiful, natural-looking results. His credentials, integrity, and patient-centered approach, make him one of the most highly rated plastic surgeons in the New Orleans, LA, area.
