The term “Blepharoplasty” originated from the Greek word Blepharon - meaning eyelids and Plastikos meaning to mold. The phrase Blepharoplasty was coined by Karl Ferdinand von Grofe in 1818 when this method was used to treat cancer of the eyelids. Today this technique is used for both functional and cosmetic reasons to restore youth and beauty to the eyelids. The procedure involves removal of excess fat, skin and sometimes muscle from the eyelids. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be used for functional reasons as well if excess skin is so severe that it hangs over the eye and blocks the peripheral vision. The lower eyelid blepharoplasty is mainly a cosmetic procedure to improve the puffiness or “bags” under the eyes and to reduce wrinkling of skin. Depending on the patient, the skin texture and adjacent tissue, the procedure can take about 1-3 hours to complete. Incisions are made in the natural skin creases of the eyelids. Fatty tissue may also be removed with a hidden incision in eyelid. The recovery is about 5 days. Although the complications are rare in this kind of surgery they may include dry eye. Blepharoplasty surgery is becoming more and more popular today. Eyelid surgery can remove 10 years off of your face. Although it is one of the top 5 major plastic surgeries performed today, a blepharoplasty expert is the best person to perform this type of surgery.
