EYELID SURGERY – BLEPHAROPLASTY – FLEMING ISLAND, FL *

Highly skilled and trained board-certified Fleming Island plastic surgeon, Dr. William Wallace, performs eyelid surgery to Individuals who have puffy or droopy eyelids, or deep bulging bags under their eyes. Also known as Blepharoplasty, this cosmetic procedure surgically removes excess fat, tissue, and skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Often times, the procedure improves an individual’s eyesight because the excess skin no longer weighs down the eyelids. The surgery not only improves a patient’s vision, but physical attributes as well. Results provide patients with a more youthful appearance and eliminates the look of “tired” eyes.

Eyelid surgery is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgical facility. It generally takes up to 2 hours for both the upper and lower eyelids to be addressed. Following surgery, the area around the eyes will be bruised and swollen. Patients should apply ice packs, keep their heads elevated, and apply medicated eye ointment for a few days. Patients comment on the fact that friends and family tell them they look great, but often can’t put a finger on what is different. These subtle, yet dramatic results restore a softer, more youthful appearance.
