Types of Blepharoplasty Procedures To Lift, Refresh & Revive
This procedure focuses on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat that can create a hooded appearance or interfere with vision.
Understanding The Blepharoplasty Procedure
01
Pre-Operative Phase
Before your blepharoplasty, you’ll meet with Dr. Manolakakis for a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and determine whether the procedure is right for you.
He will carefully evaluate your eyes and surrounding facial structures to plan results that enhance your natural features. You’ll also review important preparation steps such as medical evaluations, medications, and recovery planning.
02
Operative Phase
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves carefully placed incisions in the natural eyelid creases or just below the lower lash line to minimize visible scarring.
Dr. Manolakakis removes or repositions excess skin and fat to refresh the appearance of the eyes. The procedure usually takes about 1–2 hours, depending on your specific treatment plan.
03
Post-Operative Recovery and Care
After surgery, you’ll spend a short time in recovery while the team monitors you as you wake up. Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary vision sensitivity are common but typically improve within a few weeks, and any sutures are usually removed within 7–10 days if they are not dissolvable.
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks, with guidance from Dr. Manolakakis and his team throughout the healing process.
