Your eyes are one of your most expressive and unique features. But as you age, you may be dissatisfied with common changes like wrinkles, droopy eyelids, excess skin, or under-eye bags. If you want to improve the appearance of your eyes, Awaken Aesthetics offers multiple types of oculoplastic surgery customized to your needs.
What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery, also known as oculofacial plastic surgery, is a specialized field of plastic surgery that focuses on the area surrounding the eyes, including the eyelids, eyebrows, tear ducts, and the bony structure around the eye. The goal of oculoplastic surgery is to improve both the function and appearance of the eye area.
One of the most common procedures within oculoplastic surgery is eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery can address a variety of issues, such as sagging skin, excess fat, and wrinkles around the eyes. Dr. Eric S. Ahn at Awaken Aesthetics offers multiple types of blepharoplasty, including revision surgeries and ethnic procedures tailored to Asian features.
How Much Does Oculoplastic Surgery Cost?
Since there are several types of oculoplastic surgeries, the price will depend on which procedure you undergo. This cost will also vary depending on factors such as your geographic location and the surgeon’s experience. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the national average cost of cosmetic eyelid surgery is $4,120.
However, this estimate doesn’t include all associated costs like facility fees and anesthesia. We encourage you to schedule a consultation at Awaken Aesthetics for an accurate quote.
Upper Blepharoplasty vs. Lower Blepharoplasty
There are two main types of eyelid surgery: upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid to improve the appearance of hooded or droopy eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty, on the other hand, focuses on the area beneath the eyes and can help to reduce the appearance of bags or dark circles.
No matter what eyelid surgery you have at Awaken Aesthetics, you can expect natural-looking and long-lasting results. An upper eyelid lift typically lasts several years, and lower blepharoplasty can last a lifetime.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Awaken Aesthetics offers multiple eyelid surgery options that can benefit many patients and their cosmetic concerns. Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. During your consultation, we’ll assess your eyes and your goals to help you determine if eyelid surgery is right for you.
