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
It’s a wild, lovely, and scary thing, watching your body stretch and change before your eyes. Growing tiny humans will do that to you sometimes! I wanted to feel great about my stomach again and after working hard for years i realized there was just no more i could do myself. Insert Dr Howland! From my first consultation, Dr Howland and his staff were so helpful and kind. He didn’t ever once tell me how i should look, he only asked me lots of questions about what I wanted and what my ideal end result looked like in my head. He and his staff took the time to walk me through the process (one time for over an hour of questions!) and helped me know what to expect. Dr Howland is truly an artist! I have been so so pleased with my results. I cannot recommend him enough!
