Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Shreveport

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

This is a procedure that can be done for cosmetic or medical purposes. As we age our skin begins to lose its volume and definition. The collagen that once gave our skin its youthful structure and smooth look begins to diminish causing wrinkles to form, skin to sag, and fat deposits are slowly pulled down by gravity. This loss of skin elasticity combined with diminishing tissue volume results in sagging skin on both the upper and lower eyelids causing wrinkles, bulges, and sometimes even problems with eyesight. The sagging skin on the upper eyelid can cause sagging over the eye itself obscuring the vision of the patient. On the lower lids, the weight of extra skin and decreased tissue volume causes the eyelid to droop. In addition to this a layer of fat serves as a cushion between our eye and the skeletal socket. As we age, this membrane often loosens and weakens allowing the fat to protrude and bulge out around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can help to correct these issues giving the patient a better field of vision as well as a more youthful and rested appearance.

Saggy under eyes and wrinkles can make you look tired and worn out. Undergoing a blepharoplasty with Dr. Lindsey Pennington in Shreveport, Louisiana can give you a fresh, youthful look.

Types of Eyelid Lifts

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper eyelids by removing excess skin. It addresses concerns such as drooping eyelids, puffiness, and a tired or aged appearance. The procedure enhances the eyes' aesthetic appeal and can improve vision obstructed by sagging skin. Performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime, upper blepharoplasty is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring natural results. Post-operative recovery typically includes mild swelling and bruising, with most patients resuming normal activities within 1–2 weeks.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure focused on rejuvenating the lower eyelids by addressing under-eye bags, excess skin, and fine wrinkles. This surgery removes or repositions fat deposits and tightens skin, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. It is ideal for individuals seeking to reduce a tired or aged look. Lower eyelid surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and customized to suit the patient’s unique anatomy and goals. The result is a refreshed, natural look that enhances overall facial harmony.

Before & After

Eyelid Surgery

What can this procedure do for me?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, offers a range of aesthetic and functional benefits, making it a sought-after procedure for individuals seeking to enhance their appearance or address vision issues caused by aging. Among its many advantages, this surgery effectively restores a youthful look by removing excess skin and tightening sagging eyelids, whether in the upper or lower area. By addressing these concerns, the procedure smooths out wrinkles and eliminates puffiness, resulting in a fresher, more rested appearance. It also enhances overall facial harmony by rejuvenating one of the face's most expressive and defining features—the eyes.

For those struggling with under-eye bags and dark circles, blepharoplasty provides a solution by repositioning or removing fat deposits. This reduces the prominence of bags and shadowing beneath the eyes while improving the skin's texture for a smoother, brighter appearance. The procedure’s impact is not only transformative but also carefully tailored to each individual. Dr. Pennington customizes her approach based on the patient’s unique anatomy and goals, ensuring subtle, natural results that enhance beauty without appearing artificial.

Through its aesthetic and functional benefits, blepharoplasty addresses common signs of aging while preserving the natural essence of each individual’s appearance. Its ability to deliver such personalized outcomes has solidified its reputation as a highly effective and versatile cosmetic surgery. For some patients, combining eyelid surgery with a brow lift may provide the best results, enhancing overall facial rejuvenation. Carefully following your surgeon's instructions should help you get the best results from your eyelid surgery.
