Types of Blepharoplasty

At W Cosmetic Surgery™, all eye surgeries are 100 percent customized for the individual. The surgical plan will reflect your specific concerns regarding facial aging. The basic approaches include the following:

Upper Blepharoplasty

This surgery resolves sagging upper eyelids that can obscure vision or create a tired appearance. This procedure lifts and refines the upper eyelid, offering a refreshed look. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes become less noticeable.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Struggling with puffiness, under-eye bags, or dark circles? Lower blepharoplasty addresses these common concerns by removing or repositioning fat pads and addressing sagging skin. We place incisions inside the lower lid for most patients, resulting in minimal scarring.

Biplanar Blepharoplasty

Treats lower eyelid and midface signs of aging by reconstructing the midface structures.

The Art of Blepharoplasty: What to Expect

Dr. Wulc’s approach to blepharoplasty is both an art and a science. During your surgery, precise incisions are made within the natural creases of the eyelid to ensure scars are virtually invisible once healed. Excess fat is removed, sagging skin is lifted, and glands are resuspended to achieve a youthful, natural appearance.

If appropriate, Dr. Wulc can address other upper facial issues, including drooping brows, festoons, or sagging cheeks—in a single procedure. The goal? Rejuvenating the entire eye region without causing issues like dry eye or a wide-eyed and unnatural look. You will look like you, refreshed, healthy, and more youthful.

Understanding Blepharoplasty with Dr. Wulc

Preparing for Surgery

Preparation is key to a smooth surgery and recovery. Before your procedure, we’ll provide detailed guidelines to follow, including:

  • Avoiding medications with blood-thinning capacity, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, at least two weeks before surgery
  • Quitting smoking at least one month before surgery to reduce the risk of complications and speed healing
  • Taking a special blend of nutraceuticals that promote healing and reduce bruising
  • Following a low-salicylate (natural chemicals produced by certain plants) diet to minimize swelling and bruising

Recovery: What to Expect?

Most patients are pleased to discover that recovery from blepharoplasty is relatively quick, easy, and comes with minimal discomfort. While mild swelling and bruising are common, they typically subside within a few days. You’ll need to rest at home for the first few days, avoiding exercise and strenuous activities for about 8 to 12 days.
