Blepharoplasty in Towson

If you’re a healthy adult who suffers from sagging or excess skin around your eyes, an eyelid surgery may be the perfect solution. Many of our blepharoplasty patients are 35 years or older. However, if baggy or droopy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have the surgery done sooner.

While eyelid surgery can give you a more youthful look, it will not eliminate dark undereye circles, crow’s feet, or other facial wrinkles. At the Krupp Center, we often recommend doing eyelid surgery in conjunction with other treatments. Common pairings include options like filler injections or a forehead lift, in order to achieve your desired results.

To confirm whether you’d benefit from a blepharoplasty in Towson, schedule a consultation at the Krupp Center. You’ll have a chance to speak with one of our experienced surgeons and build a customized care plan designed for your unique skin and goals.

Your first visit to the Krupp Center for your blepharoplasty will be a consultation. At this consultation, you can sit down with one of our expert maxillofacial surgeons. They’ll listen attentively as you describe your concerns and goals for your facial profile and the skin around your eyes. Using this information, they create a surgical plan fully tailored to your goals. Many patients benefit from a brow lift and a blepharoplasty in a single procedure.

On the day of your surgery, we will review your surgical plan with you once more and prepare you for surgery. Our anesthesia options include local anesthetics, N2O, and IV sedation. You and your surgeon will work together to select the best option for your unique body. Once the anesthesia has taken full effect, we will begin the surgery.

Your procedure may address your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The surgeon makes an incision within the natural fold of the eyelid and trim away excess fat and tissue. The surgery takes 2 to 4 hours. Afterwards, we’ll review your post-care instructions with you once more before we send you home to finish recovery.

After your blepharoplasty in Towson, you can expect about 2 weeks of downtime. Full recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks on average. We can discuss more about your anticipated recovery timeline during your consultation.

Before the day of your surgery, arrange for transportation to and from your appointment. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications, like aspirin, as directed by your doctor. Arrive to your appointment without contacts, glasses, or makeup if possible.

For the first few days after your surgery, keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. Keep your face clean and dry, and take all medications according to your post-care instructions. Avoid exercise and other strenuous activities until our doctors clear you.

If you’re interested in tightening your skin, but you’re looking for nonsurgical alternatives to a blepharoplasty in Towson, the Krupp Center has multiple options. Using fillers like Juvederm and Bellafill®, we can fill in hollow areas to reduce facial folds and sagging skin. We also offer treatments like chemical peels and microneedling that stimulate your skin’s naturally healing processes and naturally tightens its internal structure.

While nonsurgical treatments offer many benefits and can effectively tighten loose skin, they may not produce the dramatic results that are available from a blepharoplasty. You can learn about all your options for skin tightening, surgical and nonsurgical, by scheduling a consultation at the Krupp Center. We’ll examine your skin, listen attentively to your concerns, and guide you to the best options for your desired results.
