    Procedure Overview

    Understanding Blepharoplasty

    Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise procedure to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes. Dr. Velasco Marín expertly addresses sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin to restore a more youthful, refreshed look.

    What Blepharoplasty Achieves

    Remove excess skin from upper and/or lower eyelids.
    Reduce under-eye bags and puffiness.
    Improve vision by lifting droopy upper eyelids.
    Restore a more youthful, alert appearance.

    Types of Blepharoplasty

    Upper Blepharoplasty

    Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to open the eyes and improve vision.

    Lower Blepharoplasty

    Addresses bags and puffiness under the eyes by removing or repositioning fat deposits.

    The Procedure

    Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, blepharoplasty involves precise incisions hidden in the natural creases of the eyelids. Dr. Velasco Marín's meticulous technique ensures minimal scarring and natural-looking results.

    Recovery Process

    Your Blepharoplasty Recovery Timeline

    Recovery from eyelid surgery is typically faster than other facial procedures. Dr. Velasco Marín provides comprehensive care instructions for optimal healing.

    First 48 Hours

    Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Keep your head elevated when resting. Some bruising and discomfort are normal.

    Week 1

    Sutures are typically removed. Swelling and bruising begin to subside. You can return to light activities.

    Weeks 2-3

    Most patients can return to work and normal activities. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting.

    1-3 Months

    Final results become apparent as all swelling resolves. Scars fade and become barely visible.

    Are You a Candidate?

    Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

    Blepharoplasty can significantly improve both appearance and function. The best candidates are those bothered by the signs of aging around their eyes or experiencing vision problems due to droopy eyelids.

    • Have droopy or sagging upper eyelids that may impair vision.
    • Experience under-eye bags or puffiness that makeup cannot conceal.
    • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
    • Are non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery.
    • Have stable eye health with no serious eye conditions.

    Age is Just a Number

    Blepharoplasty can be performed at various ages. The key factor is the presence of specific concerns, not your chronological age. Dr. Velasco Marín will assess your individual situation during consultation.
