What is Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are a central and expressive feature of the face, and their appearance plays a significant role in overall facial aesthetics. However, excess skin or fat accumulation in the upper or lower eyelids can result in a tired or aged appearance, and in some cases, may even impair vision. At Aesthetica Plastic Our board certified surgeon perform At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons performs blepharoplasty to address these concerns.This procedure involves the careful removal or repositioning of excess tissue to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining the natural character of the eyes.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's needs. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, the procedure can improve eyelid function and visual field in cases of severe upper eyelid ptosis. Dr. Crofts combines technical precision with an artistic approach to achieve results that are both subtle and transformative.
What to Expect
Following blepharoplasty, patients are advised to take several days of rest and refrain from strenuous physical activities to support optimal healing. The application of cold compresses can assist in minimizing postoperative discomfort, swelling, and bruising. While the results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, it is important to recognize that the natural aging process will continue over time.
To maintain and enhance surgical outcomes, patients may consider adjunctive non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments available at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery’s medical spa. These treatments—including dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser therapies—can further improve skin texture, volume, and tone, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Dr. Crofts is an amazing surgeon! I did a fair amount of research before I visited his office. After meeting him and his staff I knew I was in the best place possible for me. The staff were incredibly supportive, thorough, kind and knowledgeable. Everything was explained to me in detail and the staff answered all my questions.

Ideal Candidates
Upper or lower blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic enhancement that is popular among both men and women. During the initial consult, treatment alternatives will be explained by Dr. Crofts based on your areas of concern that need to be corrected. Generally, ideal candidates wish to correct excess, sagging skin and folds above their eyes, or puffy skin just under the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause vision impairment that can get in the way of normal, everyday life. For a more awake facial appearance, blepharoplasty may be the right surgery for you. If you have loose skin that droops on the upper eyelid, or bulging bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can fix this to give you a more youthful appearance.

Surgical Technique
Depending on the nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. This surgery may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a blend of both eyelids.
- Upper
Upper eyelid surgery assists in decreasing the loose of skin that droops over the eye to produce a more flattering look. An incision is usually made along the lid crease to trim away loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Lower bleph is performed to improve puffy skin underneath the lower eyelid. The incision is placed along the lash line to surgically remove fatty tissue, and the skin is delicately lifted to create a softer, flatter look. In some cases, a nonsurgical laser treatment may be performed to assist with discoloration, while dermal fillers can be used for more smoothness and softening if needed.
