Cosmetic Blepharoplasty and Eyelid Plastic Surgery

Is blepharoplasty just the technical name used by facial plastic surgeons to denote the eye lift operation to remove skin, fat, and muscle from baggy eyelids?

It used to be that simple, but those days are gone.

Cosmetic blepharoplasty, or eyelid plastic surgery, is currently better thought of as not so much one specific operation but rather a diverse group of procedures that can be selectively employed to improve on the appearance of the upper and lower lids.

Far from a "one size fits all" approach, different surgical options can be applied during blepharoplasty based on both an individual's objectives as well as the preexisting anatomy of the eyes and face.

While the majority of men and women with puffy eyelids can be helped by cosmetic blepharoplasty, not every interested person is a good candidate for certain options. Some might do better to avoid eyelid plastic surgery altogether.

This compact but complete guide to blepharoplasty will help you learn more about available alternatives, risks and complications, and the choices that favor more natural-appearing results.

About the No-Nonsense Blepharoplasty iGuide

(or jump directly to the contents)

Welcome to the marketing-free, cut-to-the-point No-Nonsense Blepharoplasty iGuide.

If you've already begun researching blepharoplasty, you're probably surprised at how long it takes to find real answers. After all, the majority of cosmetic surgery websites are designed to promote a doctor's practice. Reading and re-reading the same one or two pages reproduced from a "Society" website that provides its members with free copy isn't going to move you far beyond the basics.

Neither are community and social forums. Serving up thousands of pages of addictive, user-generated information, misinformation, and conflicting opinions, they can take forever to browse and just as easily confuse as clarify.

This No-Nonsense iGuide is different and makes self-education less frustrating and immensely faster by compiling plenty of focused content in one convenient place. The coverage is authoritative and comprehensive. The design is clean, simple, and bandwidth friendly. If you don't have all day to browse, it's the most efficient way to accomplish your goal.

Plus, it's easy to use because there's no right or wrong way to read it. You can use this No-Nonsense iGuide to learn as much or as little about a topic as you care to know at the moment. Not interested in the lower lids? Skip them for now and come back later or never at all. Don't have upper eyelid ptosis? Then don't waste your time on it. If you get lost or want to jump to a new topic, use the search feature located near the bottom of every page.

Why are there no patient photos? While always entertaining, pictures teach very little if you don't understand what you're looking at. After educating yourself here, you'll be able to return to the web better equipped to critically study and evaluate the before and after photo galleries from hundreds of different surgeons.

Take comfort in knowing that we are not trying to sell you on surgery. Fully supported by the ads in plain view, we offer only information and plenty of it. If you benefit from your time here, we'd really appreciate a mention or, better yet, a link from your personal blog or website to help us out as we get started.

Here's to your eyelids! Thanks for visiting.
