Sagging skin, excess skin, and frustrating pockets of bulging fat in your upper or lower eyelids can sometimes be a fairly frustrating fact. In addition to being less than cosmetically ideal, they can also present functional problems, sometimes even going so far as to impair vision. At Wirth Plastic Surgery, we offer eyelid surgery in Newport Beach, so you can see the world clearly, and look your best as you do so.
What does blepharoplasty cost?
The cost of blepharoplasty depends on whether the procedure is done on the upper, lower, or both eyelids, and if any additional procedures, like fat grafting, are required. Dr. Wirth will provide a personalized quote during your consultation, which will include Dr. Wirth’s fee, facility and anesthesia costs, and all necessary post-operative care.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty addresses sagging eyelid skin, excess fat, and drooping eyelids, often improving vision and creating a refreshed appearance. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and excess skin, addressing puffiness and wrinkles. Dr. Wirth may recommend both procedures for a comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation.
Is eyelid surgery painful?
Eyelid surgery is generally not considered painful. Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than significant pain, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Any discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
Can eyelid surgery fix asymmetrical eyes?
Yes, eyelid surgery can help correct minor asymmetry by removing excess skin or fat, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. However, if the asymmetry is caused by underlying structural issues, additional procedures may be needed.
Are the results of eyelid surgery permanent?
While eyelid surgery provides long-lasting results, the natural aging process will continue. Over time, you may develop new signs of aging, but the results of your surgery will still leave you looking more refreshed than you would without the procedure.
