Plastic surgery allows patients to change their appearance to feel more confident. One procedure that patients often undergo is blepharoplasty, which focuses on enhancing the appearance of eyelids. This works to brighten the face and give patients a youthful glow.
Did you know eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the U.S.? As such, you might see more advertisements about this plastic surgery than others. Because of this, patients must educate themselves about the procedure to find the right plastic surgeon.
Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas provides board-certified plastic surgery services, including eye modification, for patients in Waco, Texas, and throughout central Texas. Here, we talk about what a blepharoplasty is and why Dr. Charles Guy is the ideal choice.
A blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that alters the appearance of the eyelids. Patients can receive blepharoplasty on the upper or lower eyelids, or both. Some patients may get eyelid surgery to enhance their overall look. Others may do it to fix issues with their eyelids that may alter their field of vision. The most common reasons patients seek eyelid surgery are:
Regardless of the reason for blepharoplasty, finding a qualified, highly trained professional to perform surgery, like Dr. Charles Guy, is essential to ensuring optimal results.
In 2016, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery released statistics explaining that blepharoplasty is the fourth most common cosmetic procedure in the U.S. Since eyelid surgery is in such high demand, individuals interested in the procedure may notice they have more options than they might for a less common procedure.
As with any popular plastic surgery, you want to proceed with caution. Some facilities offering blepharoplasty and making claims about its effectiveness may not be able to deliver on their promises. This means you must find a board-certified plastic surgery team that understands how to operate on the face safely and effectively.
Dr. Charles Guy performs both upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty. During a blepharoplasty procedure, the Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas team takes a natural approach to excess skin removal. With specialized knowledge and training in cosmetic procedures from the collarbone up, Dr. Guy understands that removing too much skin can lead to unexpected results and complications. During surgery, Dr. Guy considers this, as well as eyebrow placement and natural transitioning from the site of surgery to the rest of the face.
Dr. Guy can perform these surgeries in the operating room or the office. Lower blepharoplasty procedures typically occur in the operating room with patients under general anesthesia. For upper blepharoplasty, patients receive local anesthesia with oral medications to help them relax and typically receive this service in Dr. Guy’s office.
