What Is Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are one of the most striking and expressive features of the human face. However, excessive skin on or around the eyelids can detract from one's appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas K. Howland specializes in blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, a procedure designed to eliminate surplus skin and elevate either the upper or lower eyelids to foster a more vibrant and awakened appearance. At Howland Plastic Surgery, a significant number of individuals, both men and women, opt for this surgery to diminish the appearance of under-eye bags, enhancing both their visual appeal and functionality. Regardless of whether it's the upper or lower eyelids, this surgery can revive the youthful vibrance of the eyes, offering results that are both subtle and profound. If you've been thinking about an eye refresh through an eyelid lift, reach out and arrange a consultation with Dr. Howland at our Draper, UT practice to explore how this procedure can rejuvenate your look.
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Depending on the complexity of the blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Howland may utilize general anesthesia or IV sedation for patient comfort. This aesthetic surgery can target the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both, tailored to the patient's needs and desired outcomes. Upper eyelid surgery reduces excess skin that sags over the eye with a surgical incision within the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. For the lower eyelid, an incision is made close to the lower lash line to remove fat, gently tighten the skin, and minimize under-eye puffiness.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty can significantly improve a patient's quality of life, refreshing appearance and contributing to better vision and functional rejuvenation. Eyelid surgery offers comprehensive benefits to Draper, UT-area patients at Howland Plastic Surgery, including:
- Diminishing lumps in bottom lids
- Decreasing discomfort by eliminating friction from skin creases
- Resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated look
- Producing a more awakened, aware look
- Reducing sagging and/or hanging skin tissue in the upper and lower eyelids
- Amplifying the shape and aesthetic of the eyes
- Extending vision by clearing line of sight
Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
