During the summer season, many individuals in Vancouver seek ways to rejuvenate their appearance and boost their confidence. One procedure that has gained significant popularity for its transformative effects is blepharoplasty, or cosmetic eyelid surgery. Read on to learn more about how you can achieve a summer glow-up with blepharoplasty performed by expert plastic surgeon Dr. Ashley Tregaskiss at Pacific Plastic Surgery.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids or both, depending on the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. Upper blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin and fat that can weigh down the eyelids. The muscles are also tightened to alleviate the look of droopy eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty involves the removal of sagging skin below the eyelids to eliminate wrinkles and under-eye bags for a smooth contour between the eyes and cheek area. This is an outpatient procedure, which means patients can immediately return home to rest and recover after surgery.

Aesthetic Benefits

Blepharoplasty is well-known for its cosmetic benefits. This cosmetic surgery can significantly rejuvenate the eye area, leading to:

  • Reduction of under-eye bags and under-eye hollows
  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
  • More alert and youthful appearance
  • Balanced facial proportions

Functional Benefits

Blepharoplasty is also popular because of its many health benefits. Excess skin on the upper eyelids can sometimes obstruct peripheral vision. By removing this excess tissue, patients may experience:

  • Enhanced peripheral vision
  • Reduced eye strain
  • Improved comfort when reading or performing detailed tasks

Are You a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Healthy adults who are bothered by their droopy eyelids or perpetually tired appearance can benefit from blepharoplasty. At your consultation with Dr. Tregaskiss, he will ask about your medical history and discuss your treatment goals in detail to make sure this procedure is safe for you. 

Blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs. This cosmetic procedure can also be included with other rejuvenating facial surgeries like a facelift or brow lift for more dramatic results that address various signs of aging.
