Whether your concerns are cosmetic or related to vision issues from heavy upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can be a powerful change. Ellen Mahony, MD, is one of the few board-certified female plastic surgeons in Connecticut. Patients from Westport and Fairfield County trust her for truly personalized care, and her approach to eyelid surgery reflects that. She tailors each procedure to help you look refreshed without changing the essence of your appearance.
Upper, Lower, or Both?
Blepharoplasty can treat the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on what’s bothering you. Upper eyelid surgery removes extra skin that can hang over the lash line or weigh down the lid, and lower eyelid surgery often addresses puffiness and bags.
Some patients benefit most from treating one area, while others get the best results from combining upper and lower eyelid surgery in a single procedure. Dr. Mahony will evaluate you to recommend an approach that works for you.
What to Expect From Recovery and Results
Recovery from blepharoplasty typically takes about 10 to 14 days for most of the swelling and bruising to subside, though subtle healing can continue for several weeks. Stitches are usually removed within the first week, and many people feel comfortable returning to normal activities after about two weeks.
After recovery, most people notice they have a more open eye area. Makeup tends to go on more easily, and in some cases, lifting heavy upper lids can even improve your field of vision. Small changes around the eyes can make a big difference in how you see yourself.
