Blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia is a safe and effective way to counteract signs of aging in and around our eyes.

WHAT IS BLEPHAROPLASTY FOR HOODED EYELIDS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA?
Blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia is a surgical procedure that seeks to correct sagging, drooping skin and hooded eyelids. It is performed on an outpatient basis, using local anesthesia, and typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours.
There are two indications for eyelid surgery – functional and cosmetic. A functional blepharoplasty aims to eliminate excess skin that is impairing a person’s vision and affecting daily activities.
A cosmetic blepharoplasty is used to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the muscle and tissues of the eyelids. These measures help the eyes look more open and youthful.
WHO’S A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?
Patients with healthy facial tissue and muscles that want to address functional and aesthetic eyelid concerns are often good candidates for blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia.
If you are considering blepharoplasty for hooded eyes, it’s also important that you don’t smoke or have serious eye conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BLEPHAROPLASTY RECOVERY?
In the hands of a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Rostami or Dr. Naz, blepharoplasty is a safe and effective procedure.
After surgery, the eyes will be covered with gauze and lubricating ointment. Cold compresses can also be applied to help reduce swelling, and patients will receive instructions regarding necessary post-op medications and follow-up appointments.
Additionally, swelling, bruising, irritation, and dry eyes are all normal and temporary side effects of eyelid surgery and resolve on their own within 2 weeks.
Patients that have just treated hooded eyelids with Blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia should also avoid wearing contact lenses or eye makeup for 2 weeks.
