Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
in Columbia, SC
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a facial surgery treatment that reduces loose or wrinkled upper eyelid skin to produce a revitalized, well-rested, and youthful appearance. Additionally, younger patients may be interested in transconjunctival blepharoplasty. Performed through incisions inside the lower eyelid, the transconjunctival approach minimizes the look of lower eyelid puffiness with no visible scarring. Blepharoplasty at Plastic Surgery Consultants is an extremely effective option for most individuals and various techniques are available to ensure a natural-looking result.
How is a Blepharoplasty Performed?
Each blepharoplasty is performed with the aid of anesthesia to ensure that patients remain entirely comfortable for the duration of their surgery. Incisions are carefully made within the natural creases of the eyelids, ensuring that scars are well-hidden after surgery. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat is removed to achieve the patients desired results. Afterwards, the incisions are closed and the treatment is complete. A blepharoplasty can take between two and four hours, depending on the patient’s cosmetic goals and if an upper blepharoplasty or upper and lower blepharoplasty is desired.
How Much Does a Blepharoplasty Cost?
The cost of your blepharoplasty will vary depending on your specific treatment goals. To determine the exact cost of treatment, we invite you to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Wassermann. During your consultation, you will work with Dr. Wassermann to develop a personalized treatment plan that will satisfy your unique cosmetic goals. At this point, we will be able to provide you with the full cost of treatment.
