Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, has gained popularity among men seeking safe and effective ways to enhance their appearance. If you’re considering this procedure, you’ve likely been searching for answers about what it entails and how it can benefit you.
Understanding Eyelid Surgery:
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This can help eliminate droopy or sagging eyelids, reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes, and create a more youthful and refreshed look.
There are two different types of blepharoplasty:
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on the area above the eyes. It involves making an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove or reposition excess skin, fat, and muscle. This procedure is ideal for addressing issues such as drooping or hooded eyelids that can impair vision and create a tired appearance. The goal is to create a more alert and youthful look by lifting and tightening the skin around the upper eyes.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery targets the area below the eyes. The incision is typically made just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid. This procedure addresses concerns such as puffiness, bags, and wrinkles under the eyes by removing or repositioning excess fat and skin. The result is a smoother, firmer under-eye area, which contributes to a more refreshed and rejuvenated overall appearance.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery:
The benefits of eyelid surgery extend beyond cosmetic improvements. Not only can it enhance your appearance and boost your self-confidence, but it can also improve peripheral vision by lifting drooping eyelids that may obstruct your sight. Additionally, many patients report feeling more awake and rejuvenated after undergoing this procedure.
- Restoring youthful appearance to the eyes

What to Expect:
During the eyelid surgery procedure, Dr. Quintero will carefully assess your unique facial anatomy and discuss your goals and expectations. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day. Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can expect to see noticeable results within a few weeks.
Recovery Process:
After eyelid surgery, it’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes. However, these symptoms usually subside within a week or two, and any residual swelling can be easily concealed. Dr. Quintero will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help facilitate a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?
Eyelid surgery may be a suitable option for men who are bothered by droopy or sagging eyelids, excess skin or fat deposits around the eyes, or a tired or aged appearance. However, it’s important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Quintero to discuss your goals and determine whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
