My first visit, I went in to have a few different spots looked at their removed them to test while I was the office. Made it very convenient, not to have to schedule another appointment for the biopsy. I received multiple phone calls to schedule my six week follow up, which was today. Everything was handled during biopsy. I would recommend this place to anyone.

As a farmer, I'm outside exposed to the sun. My family has a history of skin cancer. I have been seeing Jennifer for many years and extremely pleased with her knowledge and honesty.

AMAZING! The staff was welcoming and pleasant. Since 2019, numerous doctors prescribed various treatments that never worked. Dr. Swofford not only listened, she made me feel that I was in the right place. In one day, she resolved an ailment that has plagued me since 2019. Great music selection as well (80s)!!!! 😊

If you have droopy eyelids and want to correct them, we can help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to determine whether blepharoplasty is right for you.

Droopy eyelids, known as ptosis, can occur due to aging, trauma, or certain medical conditions. They can affect one eye or, more commonly, both eyes. Droopy eyelids can make a person look older and, in some cases, impair vision.

At St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we can correct this issue with a blepharoplasty procedure. If you have droopy eyelids and want to fix them, we can help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and determine if blepharoplasty is right for you.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids. It can be performed on the lower, upper, or both. Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional issues with your eyelids, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate the area around your eyes.

Conditions of the lower lid that can be corrected include bags or puffiness under the eyes, drooping lower lids, or excess skin and wrinkles. When there is excess fat but little or no excess skin, the incision can be made inside the lower eyelid (a transconjunctival incision), avoiding a visible scar. If you have excess skin and fat, the incision is made just below the lower lashes, where the scar can be well hidden. Excess skin can be removed, and fat can be removed or repositioned.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

There are several benefits of blepharoplasty. This eyelid surgery can treat:

  • Fat deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
  • Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disrupts the natural contour of the upper eyelid
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
  • Drooping lower eyelids

What to Expect from Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia combined with โ€œtwilight sleepโ€ and takes about 45 to 60 minutes. The incision is made within the natural crease in the eyelid, so the scar is easily concealed.

Most people experience minimal pain and completely recover in a week. Minor swelling and bruising may last for a few days. The result will be a better-defined eyelid and an alert, rejuvenated appearance.

Your initial healing may include swelling, bruising, irritation, or dry eyes. This can be managed with medication, cold compresses, and ointment. The results will appear gradually as the swelling goes down. You must be diligent about sun protection and wear darkly tinted sunglasses until the healing is complete.
