Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Lift)

Upper Blepharoplasty Eyelid Lift Dr Barry Eppley Indianapolis‘I never thought I would ever have plastic surgery for any cosmetic reason. I had worn glasses for many years but when I retired at age 65 I started to have more trouble seeing because of what was happening around my eyes. Everything just seemed a little more dim and I just can’t see as well. After seeing Dr. Eppley I realized that the skin on my forehead, brow and around the eyes had loosened and fallen to partially obstruct my vision. Trying to strain to see even gave me some issues with headaches. Having having my eyelid surgery by Dr. Eppley I could not only see better but I actually like the cosmetic improvements as well. I was not initially concerned with any cosmetic enhancement but I now see that as a pleasant bonus! Thank you Dr. Eppley for your surgical expertise and kind encouragement to go through the procedure. You were right, it was not as bad as I thought it would be.’

Commentary

There is probably no plastic surgery procedure that is more satisfying to a patient than an upper blepharoplasty procedure, also known as an eyelid tuck or an eyelid lift. This is so not only because of its aesthetic effect but because of the removal of the heavy feeling on the upper eyelid and an improvement in one’s visual field if the excessive skin is significant enough. It is its combined aesthetic and functional benefits that makes the upper blepharoplasty a winning procedure for those that undergo it. It is also a fairly ‘simple’ plastic surgery procedure to undergo with minimal pain afterwards albeit with some swelling and light bruising that takes about 10 days to go away completely.
