Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty - in Seattle WA

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of the eyes by reducing puffiness, bags under the eyes, and drooping eyelids. If you're bothered by the appearance of your eyes and would like to improve your overall facial appearance, the board-certified facial plastic surgeons at The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center can help.

During your consultation with Dr. William Portuese or Dr. Joseph Shvidler at The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center, they will discuss your concerns, examine your eyelids, and develop a customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs. They will explain the procedure, including the potential risks and benefits, and help you determine if eyelid surgery is right for you.

Blepharoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation, and typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. The procedure involves making incisions in the natural creases of the upper eyelids or below the lash line in the lower eyelids, removing excess skin and fat, and repositioning the remaining tissues to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but these typically resolve within a few days. Dr. Portuese or Dr. Shvidler will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
