What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, refining fat, and restoring smoother contours. Upper blepharoplasty addresses heaviness and drooping, lower blepharoplasty treats puffiness and under-eye bags, and double eyelid surgery creates or enhances a natural crease for individuals seeking greater upper eyelid definition. Each technique is customized so results feel authentic to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty offers meaningful improvements that enhance both function and appearance:

Enhanced eyelid contours: Smoother, more defined upper and lower eyelids.
Improved under-eye appearance: Reduced puffiness and softened hollows.
Clearer field of vision: Helpful for patients whose upper eyelids obstruct sight.
Refreshed expression: Natural rejuvenation that preserves your facial identity.
Durable results: Long-lasting improvement tailored to your unique features.

Am I a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

You may be a candidate if you experience sagging upper lids, puffiness beneath the eyes, excess skin, or age-related eyelid changes that affect your appearance or comfort. Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek subtle refinement rather than dramatic alteration. During your consultation, Dr. Morisada will assess eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and your goals to determine the most appropriate approach.

What to Expect During Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty in Honolulu is performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on your surgical plan. After precise markings are made, Dr. Morisada places incisions within natural eyelid creases or inside the eyelid. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned, and the tissues are refined for balanced, natural contours. Most procedures last one to two hours, and patients return home the same day.

Blepharoplasty Recovery and Results

Recovery typically involves swelling, mild bruising, and temporary tightness around the eyes. Most patients resume light activities within about a week. As swelling continues to decrease, your eyelids take on smoother, more refined contours. Full healing and final results develop over the following months, offering long-lasting rejuvenation that maintains your authentic expression.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty corrects eyelid heaviness, excess skin, and fullness that contribute to a tired appearance. By placing incisions within the natural eyelid crease, Dr. Morisada restores definition while maintaining discreet healing. This procedure may also improve peripheral vision in cases where excess skin limits sight.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery creates or enhances an upper eyelid crease for patients seeking greater definition while preserving their cultural identity. Techniques are selected based on your anatomy, ensuring a crease that complements your natural features and supports facial harmony.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty treats puffiness, bags, and loose skin beneath the eyes. Incisions may be placed inside the eyelid or along the lash line depending on your anatomy. This approach smooths the under-eye area, providing a rested, rejuvenated look.

Complementary Procedures

Blepharoplasty is often paired with additional treatments to enhance overall facial harmony:

Brow lift: Addresses a heavy brow that contributes to upper lid hooding.
Facial fat transfer: Restores volume to soften transitions and reduce hollowness.
Non-surgical treatments: BOTOX and fillers help smooth wrinkles and soften transitions around the eyes for a balanced result.

FAQ's Blepharoplsty

Can blepharoplasty help with dry eye symptoms?

Patients with dry eyes may still be candidates for blepharoplasty, but the condition requires careful evaluation. In some cases, dryness can temporarily increase after surgery.

Does sun exposure affect healing after blepharoplasty?

Yes. The eyelid skin is highly sensitive during recovery, and sun exposure can increase swelling and the risk of pigmentation changes. Consistent sun protection is essential.

Will I need someone to accompany me home?

Yes. A responsible adult must drive you home after surgery due to the use of sedation or anesthesia.

Are there activity restrictions after blepharoplasty?

Patients should avoid bending, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercise until cleared by their surgeon to prevent increased swelling and pressure around the eyes.

Does blepharoplasty affect my vision?

Temporary blurriness caused by swelling or postoperative ointments is common and typically resolves as healing progresses.

Will I need to stop wearing contact lenses for a period of time?

Yes. Contact lenses should usually be avoided for one to two weeks after surgery to allow the eyelids to heal comfortably.

Are the results permanent?

Blepharoplasty results are long-lasting, though natural aging will continue over time and may subtly influence eyelid contours.
