Blepharoplasty in San Diego, CA
Personal Attention & Specialized Care
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about you, but they are also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Moneer Jaibaji specializes in blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, to correct sagging eyelids, remove fatty pouches beneath the eyes, and eliminate drooping bags that can make you look tired or older than you feel. His goal is to help you achieve a more youthful, alert appearance through precise, customized eyelid rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both. Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.
Benefits of Blepharoplasty
Undergoing blepharoplasty with Dr. Jaibaji offers several aesthetic and functional benefits:
- Refreshed Appearance: This surgery helps eliminate under-eye bags and corrects droopy eyelids, giving a more rested and youthful look.
- Long-Lasting Results: While the aging process continues, the results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy significant benefits for several years.
- Enhanced Self-confidence: With a more alert and youthful appearance, many patients experience a boost in self-esteem and satisfaction with their facial appearance.
- Improved Vision: By removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can improve your field of vision and eye strain, which are often compromised by droopy eyelids.
Blepharoplasty procedure
The eyes are one of the most mobile and expressive features of the face. But as we get older, wrinkles, bags and other signs of aging can make our eyes appear tired, sad or worn.
Eye bags treatment, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to give you a fresher, well-rested appearance.
The Procedure
The process begins with a consultation where Dr. Jaibaji evaluates your eyelids, discusses your health history, and talks about your aesthetic goals. This step is crucial to tailor the surgery to your specific needs.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and patient preference. Dr. Jaibaji uses precise techniques tailored to your unique facial anatomy. For upper eyelid surgery, he makes incisions in the natural crease of the eyelid to remove excess skin and fat. For lower eyelid surgery, he places an incision just below the lash line or an internal incision (transconjunctival approach), depending on the extent of correction needed. This allows for the removal or repositioning of fat, along with the reduction of excess skin.
Blepharoplasty Recovery and Aftercare
Post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Initial healing may include some swelling and bruising, which subsides over the first few weeks. Dr. Jaibaji provides detailed aftercare instructions, and most patients return to normal activities within 10 days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks, and full results are typically visible within several months.
