blepharoplasty
(eyelid surgery)
rejuvenate your eyes, renew your look
blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns related to the eyelids. this surgery effectively removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, correcting drooping lids and puffiness that can make you look tired or older than you feel. by rejuvenating the area around the eyes, blepharoplasty can brighten your gaze, improve your field of vision if obstructed by sagging skin, and create a smoother, more youthful contour. it offers a lasting solution for patients seeking significant, yet natural-looking, improvements to their eye appearance.
how blepharoplasty works
Customized
blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed by a qualified surgeon to sculpt and reposition the tissues around the eyes.
the process begins with a detailed consultation at dose aesthetics where your surgeon assesses the structure of your eyelids, discusses your aesthetic goals, and determines whether an upper, lower, or combination blepharoplasty is appropriate. photos are taken, and the incision lines are carefully planned.
the procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used in some cases. your comfort and safety are the top priorities throughout the operation.
for the upper lids, an incision is discreetly placed in the natural crease of the eyelid. the surgeon then removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. the incisions are closed with fine sutures, which hide the scar within the eyelid’s natural fold once healed.
- transcutaneous: an incision is placed just below the lower lash line, allowing the surgeon to remove or redistribute excess fat, skin, and muscle.
- transconjunctival: for patients whose primary concern is puffy fat bags without excess skin, the incision is made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival). this method leaves no visible external scar.
the surgeon ensures symmetry and a natural contour before meticulously closing the incisions. the entire procedure usually takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity and whether both upper and lower lids are treated.

Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for dermal fillers include people with specific age-related concerns or general desires related to facial rejuvenation or enhancement. To be considered for dermal fillers, patients should also exhibit good overall health before the procedure, be committed to post-care treatments, and have realistic goals and expectations.
These candidates are usually screened before the procedure to ensure they’re healthy enough to have substantial outcomes. At the very least, patients seeking PRP treatments should be in good overall health or have healthy follicles capable of responding to hair growth stimulation.
Exclusions
Certain individuals may be excluded from undergoing dermal filler treatments due to the potential risks and side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with allergies to components and ingredients of dermal or wrinkle fillers, and individuals with active skin infections are just a few examples of patients who may not be suitable candidates for dermal filler treatments.
blepharoplasty is an excellent option for individuals who are bothered by signs of aging around their eyes, or who have inherited traits like prominent under-eye bags.
- upper eyelid concerns: individuals with loose, sagging skin that creates folds or impairs vision, or those with puffy upper eyelids.
- lower eyelid concerns: people with excess skin and fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid, or pronounced bags and puffiness under the eyes.
- general: healthy adults, typically over the age of 35 (unless a condition is hereditary), who are non-smokers and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome.
while generally safe, certain medical conditions may increase the risks associated with blepharoplasty.
- severe dry eye: pre-existing severe dry eye or certain other eye diseases (like glaucoma or retinal detachment) must be discussed with your surgeon and an eye specialist.
- medical conditions: uncontrolled high blood pressure, thyroid problems (like graves’ disease), or cardiovascular disease.
anticipated results: individuals with unrealistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve. a comprehensive medical history review will determine your suitability for the procedure at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio.

treatment experience
the blepharoplasty procedure is performed in a clinical setting at dose aesthetics.
- duration: the surgery typically lasts from 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether one or both sets of eyelids are being addressed.
- discomfort: thanks to local anesthesia and sedation, you will feel minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. post-surgery, patients usually experience mild discomfort, which is easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
location: all consultations and surgical procedures are conducted with the utmost care and professionalism at our clinic in bowling green, ohio.
recovery and results
the recovery process for blepharoplasty is manageable, and the results are long-lasting and often dramatic.
- initial recovery (1-2 weeks): you should expect swelling, bruising, and possibly some minor discomfort and dryness in the eyes for the first week or two. cold compresses and prescribed ointments/drops will be recommended. sutures are typically removed within 5 to 7 days. you should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting during this period.
- full recovery and scarring: most patients can return to social activities and light work after 10 to 14 days. the fine incision lines will continue to fade over several months, eventually becoming nearly invisible, especially for upper eyelid incisions hidden in the natural crease.
- results: the final, refreshed appearance of the eyes develops gradually as swelling subsides. blepharoplasty results are long-lasting; most people only require the procedure once. the benefits include a brighter, more alert appearance and, in cases of upper lid obstruction, improved peripheral vision.
blepharoplasty at dose aesthetics provides a sophisticated and effective way to turn back the clock on aging eyes, restoring a youthful vibrancy to your face with enduring results.
