Blepharoplasty
Cosmetic Eye Surgery and Eyelid Sculpture

Blepharoplasty is the name for an entire family of eyelid surgery. Any one operation may include several components designed to restore what time and gravity have taken away. This site map is an introduction to blepharoplasty, cosmetic eye surgery, how the eyelid ages, and what can be done to restore more youthful proportions.

Modern blepharoplasty surgery has expanded well beyond conventional boundaries. Forehead lifts, facelifts, and blepharoplasty have evolved to manage codependent problems.

As the aging face sags, certain aspects may stand out and bother you more. However, when concerned about the eyelids, other facial feature may play a significant role and should be considered. When other facial features are part of the problem, cosmetic eye surgery sometimes is done in part through access from the face. Sometimes facial surgery is partly done through eyelid access.

Eyebrow position is very important when considering the upper lids. As the forehead sags, it affects the upper eyelids. Setting the brow position first helps determine if tissues are redundant and cosmetic eye surgery appropriate.

Different pages here will introduce you to who will benefit from this surgery, eyelid bags, risks, what happens during the operation, aftercare, and healing.

Cosmetic eye surgery of the lids is often a blend of different techniques each designed to manage specific problems. You will need an extended examination and evaluation to determine what Dr. Bermant will suggest for your specific eyelid surgical sculpture. This large section about eyelid surgery is but an introduction to the education we help our patients explore during their consultations. After reviewing this site, some patients who travel great distances prefer to start with a preliminary remote package before traveling to Richmond.
