Blepharoplasty
Eyelid Surgery
They say the eyes are the window to the soul, so it’s no surprise that aging eyelids can have a big impact on physical health and self-confidence. Eyelids lose elasticity as we age. The upper eyelids become heavy and start to droop. The lower eyelids may sag and look sad. On top of this, the fat around our eyes starts to pooch forward, leading us to look fatigued. We may have bags under our eyes.
Blepharoplasty is a minimally-invasive surgery that improves the appearance of your eyes and gives you confidence in your appearance again. Sit down with Dr. Spalla, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, to receive your comprehensive treatment plan.

What is Eyelid Surgery?
How Eyelid Surgery Works
The eyelid surgery process typically lasts from one to three hours and is carried out using either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Spalla will create incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize scarring. He’ll then eliminate excess skin and fat, followed by tightening the remaining skin to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Following the surgery, patients can anticipate some swelling and bruising for several days after surgery. Discomfort is very minimal. While most individuals can resume work and normal activities within one to two weeks, it may take several months to notice the full effects of the procedure.Â

Is Eyelid Surgery Right For You?
Deciding whether blepharoplasty is the right choice for you involves careful consideration of your aesthetic goals and overall health. Surgery may seem daunting to many, but the process for undergoing a blepharoplasty is surprisingly smooth. While there are non-surgical treatments that can help tighten skin around the eyes, you’ll be hard pressed to find a non-surgical solution that’s as effective as blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is minimally-invasive and poses fewer risks than some larger surgeries.
If you’re bothered by sagging or puffy eyelids, and you’re in good health, you may be an ideal candidate. A personalized consultation with Dr. Spalla at Philadelphia Facial Plastic Surgery & MedSpa is crucial to determine the best approach for your unique needs. He’ll listen to your medical history and treatment goals and advise you on the best course of action.
