Eyelid Surgery– What to Expect

Loose, sagging skin in the eye area can cause patients to look constantly tired, as well as years older than their actual age. Even if patients maintain a proper eyecare regimen, some eye conditions are genetic, like persistent under eye circles or drooping eyelids. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly successful cosmetic surgery procedure that treats the eye area to help patients obtain more rejuvenated looks.

Dr. Sajjadian begins eyelid surgery with a small incision along the creases of the upper eyelid. Next, he gently removes skin to enhance the appearance of the overall eye area. Depending on the patient’s features and desires, some fat and muscle are removed or repositioned to improve the aesthetics of the eyelid region. In some instances, he also corrects for ptosis to treat vision concerns.

Blepharoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, which allows most of Dr. Sajjadian’s Orange County eyelid surgery patients to return home once they have completed the procedure. Dr. Sajjadian will apply bandages and lubrication to the eyes following the procedure and give patients a detailed list of instructions for their recovery. He strongly urges patients to regularly use eye drops and cold compresses, as well as keep the head elevated to assist the healing process. Patients are typically able to return to their daily activities within one to two weeks; however, Dr. Sajjadian encourages them to regularly use sunglasses and sun block for several weeks following the procedure.

Newport Beach Eyelid Surgery FAQs

There is no such thing as the “perfect age” for any plastic surgery. Instead, the timing depends on your unique needs and concerns. Generally, patients seek this procedure after experiencing significant skin laxity or undereye bags, which can develop due to genetics and lifestyle factors. Dr. Sajjadian evaluates each patient’s unique situation to determine the optimal timing for surgery.

Dr. Sajjadian uses advanced techniques to place incisions in your natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring. Most scars are discreet and fade over time, becoming less noticeable as the skin heals. His expertise ensures scars are well-hidden and blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

Local anesthesia with sedation numbs the eye area and ensures comfort during the procedure. Some patients ask for general anesthesia to put them to sleep during the procedure. Dr. Sajjadian will discuss the best anesthesia option for you during your consultation.

If drooping upper eyelids impair your vision, blepharoplasty can help by removing excess skin that obstructs your sight.

While initial improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, the ultimate outcome of blepharoplasty may take several months to fully materialize. Swelling and bruising gradually subside, revealing the complete effects of the surgery. Dr. Sajjadian will monitor your recovery and ensure your satisfaction with the results.

Before surgery, Dr. Sajjadian may advise you to avoid medications, supplements, or habits such as smoking, which can affect healing. After surgery, you must maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid strenuous activities, and follow all postoperative instructions for optimal recovery and results.

We recommend avoiding wearing eye makeup for at least two weeks after blepharoplasty to prevent infection and allow your skin to heal properly. Once the initial healing period is over, you can gradually resume makeup application, following Dr. Sajjadian’s guidance.

The need for upper or lower blepharoplasty depends on your specific concerns. Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat on the upper eyelids, while lower blepharoplasty targets puffiness and wrinkles below the eyes. Dr. Sajjadian will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable procedure based on your needs.
