Blepharoplasty primarily focuses on addressing concerns related to the eyelids, such as excess skin and fat. While it can provide some improvement to the appearance of droopy eyebrows, it is not specifically designed to correct them or treat forehead wrinkles. However, your plastic surgeon can discuss additional procedures such as a brow lift or injectable treatments like Botox or dermal fillers that can effectively target those concerns and provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper face. Together, you can explore the best treatment options to achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

What type of anesthesia is used during blepharoplasty? Can I have both upper and lower blepharoplasty done at the same time?
Absolutely, it is possible to have both upper and lower blepharoplasty performed simultaneously, and it is a common practice. Combining the procedures can offer several benefits, including a more harmonious rejuvenation of the entire eye area and a consolidated recovery period. However, it is important to consult with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon who can evaluate your unique case, discuss your goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for combined upper and lower blepharoplasty.

Will I have stitches after blepharoplasty?
After undergoing blepharoplasty, it is common to have stitches, which are usually fine sutures that are placed along the incision lines. These stitches are designed to support the healing process and are typically removed within a week or two, depending on your surgeon’s recommendation. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for the stitches and what to expect during the healing process to ensure optimal results.
