Frequently Asked Questions

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a transformative procedure that rejuvenates the area around your eyes. Blepharoplasty involves the removal or repositioning of skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the eyelids. Whether it's to improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids or to refresh your appearance, this surgery can offer both functional and cosmetic benefits.

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are those experiencing droopy or baggy eyelids, which could be due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors. It's important for candidates to have realistic expectations and to be in good overall health.

At Chickasha Vision, eyelid surgery is performed with precision and care. The procedure typically involves local anesthesia with sedation. Incisions are made along the natural lines of your eyelids, making scars virtually unnoticeable once healed. The surgery usually takes about two hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.

Post-surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which subsides within a week or two. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available to answer any questions during your recovery period. Most patients return to normal activities within 10 to 14 days post-surgery.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved in eyelid surgery, including infection, reaction to anesthesia, and asymmetry in healing. Our team at Chickasha Vision discusses all potential risks and benefits to ensure you are fully informed before deciding on surgery.

The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, though they can be affected by aging and lifestyle factors. Most patients enjoy the benefits for many years.

Temporary blurred vision or light sensitivity may occur post-surgery, but these effects typically resolve quickly. Long-term vision improvement is often noted in cases where vision was obstructed by drooping eyelids.
