am i a Candidate for eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that has been performed for many years and continues to grow in popularity. During your private consultation, Dr. Cho will explain treatment options based on the cosmetic concerns you'd like to address. Generally, ideal candidates are men frustrated with excess, hanging skin on their upper eyelids, puffy skin below the bottom eyelids, or both. These skin irregularities can also impair one's vision, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. For a more awake and youthful appearance, eyelid surgery may be the right option for you.
how does eyelid surgery for men work?
Depending on the nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. This surgery may be done on the top eyelid(s) by itself, on the bottom eyelid(s), or a combination of both upper and lower.
- Upper
Upper eyelid surgery assists in diminishing lax skin that droops over the eye to create a more appealing eyelid appearance. The incision point is often placed along the lash line or crease to excise loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Eyelid surgery on the lower lid is performed to reduce puffy and bulging skin underneath the lower eyelid. In most cases, an incision is made below the lash line to surgically remove tissue and fat, and the skin is subtly lifted to create a softer, flatter look.
how long is recovery after eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery can take up to two hours depending on whether we're treating both eyes or just one. After this outpatient surgery, you should set aside several days to recover and rest at home. Cold compresses can assist in reducing swelling, bruising, and discomfort. It's also important to adhere to all post-operative instructions provided by our office. The results from blepharoplasty can last many years, but it will not stop the natural aging process for men. To complement your surgical outcomes, we can also incorporate facial rejuvenation treatments, such as dermal fillers and lasers, to create a glowing appearance.

Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles might be better addressed with a brow lift or facelift because the results of blepharoplasty are confined to the eyelids alone. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a nonsurgical treatment like BOTOX, which combats wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. An injectable filler may also be effective because it adds volume to hollow areas for a softer, smoother appearance. During your initial consultation, Dr. Cho will create a custom treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening and injectable wrinkle treatments (for example, BOTOX, JUVÉDERM, and Restylane) can provide mild improvements. However, if you have moderate to severe loose skin or would like to see long-lasting results, an eyelid lift is probably better than a nonsurgical treatment. When you've talked to Dr. Cho about your concerns and goals for your eyes, he can explain his suggestions for your personalized treatment plan. He may also suggest a combination of surgical and nonsurgical procedures for ideal results.
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Eyelid surgery costs will vary depending on whether you're getting a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. When your treatment plan is created during your initial consultation, Dr. Cho can then discuss cost estimates. To get natural-looking results that last for many years, it's better to concentrate on choosing an experienced plastic surgeon whom you trust, like Dr. Cho, rather than looking for the cheapest place. To help you afford great results, Chiseled takes many payment methods, including low-interest financing.
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
When loose skin is limiting your sight, your health insurance may pay for part of your blepharoplasty. Please talk to Dr. Cho during your consultation if you might be using your insurance. A team member at Chiseled can help you submit the needed paperwork and information for your provider to consider your claim. Generally, you will require a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist or optometrist stating that blepharoplasty will improve your field of vision.
Is eyelid surgery painful?
Eyelid surgery is performed with anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is generally mild and can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications.
How long do the results of eyelid surgery last?
The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying a more youthful appearance for years. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements made through blepharoplasty are often very durable.
