What is the Asian Blepharoplasty procedure like?

Dr. Athré starts by carefully measuring and marking the area to be treated, focusing on facial symmetry and your desired outcome. Once the area is prepared, a local anesthetic with optional sedation is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. The anesthesia also minimizes any bleeding.

During blepharoplasty surgery, small amounts of skin and fat are adjusted to create a naturally defined crease without disrupting the unique contour of the eyelid. Each incision is closed with fine sutures that encourage minimal scarring, helping the eyelid to heal smoothly and with long-lasting results.

Anesthesia Options

Most Asian blepharoplasty procedures are completed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. If combined with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift or facelift, the anesthesia method will match the needs of your combined treatments.
