Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an "eyelid lift," is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and drooping skin around the eyes. It also tightens skin around the upper and lower eyelids. During blepharoplasty, the surgeon typically makes incisions in the creases of the upper lids and below the lashes of the lower lids. Fatty tissue and muscle are separated from the skin and removed, and the incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Dr. Charles W. Spenler, Medical Director of the Association of South Bay Plastic Surgeons, in Torrance, California, has perfected the procedure with a technique called "transconjunctival blepharoplasty." Available to clients in Southern California and Long Beach for more than twenty years, this method, like a normal blepharoplasty, removes fat deposits under the eyes, but the incisions are made on the inside of the eyelid, so there are no sutures and best of all - no scars!

What are the benefits of eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery corrects drooping eyelids or puffiness around the eyes. It may also correct vision problems associated with these conditions.

How is Long Beach eyelid surgery performed?

While the patient is under adequate anesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions inside the creases of the upper lids and inside the lower lids. Working through these incisions, the surgeon removes excess fat and trims sagging skin and muscle. The procedure is performed in one to three hours.

What can I expect after eyelid surgery?

Your eyes may feel sticky for a week or so. Dr. Spenler will show you how to care for them. You should wear sunscreen on your eyelids and sunglasses when you are outside. Avoid contact lenses for about two weeks or until your eyes begin to feel more comfortable.

You should minimize your activities for three to five days. After this, you should be able to read or watch television. Avoid strenuous activities and alcohol for about three weeks.

How much does eyelid surgery cost?

The price of eyelid surgery will vary, depending on whether you require upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. After a brief examination, we will provide you with a quote for your procedure or procedures during your consultation.
