Want to look younger and more refreshed? Say goodbye to sagging eyelids and under-eye bags with blepharoplasty! This amazing cosmetic surgery targets the signs of aging around the eyes, from lax skin and weakened muscles to excess fat and inherited traits that become more pronounced over time. By removing excess tissue and closing incisions with minimal scarring, blepharoplasty can dramatically enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.
AN OVERVIEW ABOUT
What Is An Eyelid Lift?
Wondering how an eyelid lift can give you the gorgeous, bright-eyed look you’ve always wanted? During the procedure, Dr. Gartner makes incisions in the natural creases of your eyelids to remove excess tissue. Whether you choose to focus on the upper, lower, or both eyelids, you can trust that Dr. Gartner will carefully close the incisions with sutures, leaving behind minimal scarring hidden within the natural creases.
The result is a more youthful and refreshed appearance, with reduced under-eye bags and improved vision.

These are rare. You can have a safer surgery and faster recovery by following the care instructions given to you by Dr. Gartner.
WHAT MAKES YOUR EYELID SURGERY OR BLEPHAROPLASTY AT GARTNER PLASTIC SURGERY UNIQUE
At Gartner Plastic Surgery, we offer a unique approach to eyelid surgery. First, we perform the surgery under local anesthesia, which means you’ll be awake and comfortable throughout the procedure.
We also conduct a comprehensive pre-surgery assessment to determine the most suitable surgical technique for your needs.
We prioritize your safety and comfort during the surgery, which is why we take extra care not to cut through the ocularis muscle and perform transconjunctival fat removal, leaving no visible scarring.
Additionally, we use a technique called “skin pinch” to smooth away fine wrinkles and crepey skin for a more dramatic improvement.
Our overall goal is to make your surgery experience as pleasant and effective as possible.
YOUR RECOVERY
The final step is the recovery process. Although you may experience some discomfort and swelling during the first few weeks, this can easily be managed with medication and elevated headrests. Don’t worry about dry eyes or blurred vision; they’re temporary and will improve with time.
In about a week after your procedure, you’ll be able to wear makeup to cover any discoloration, and the steri-strips will be removed.
For best results, avoid strenuous exercise for three weeks. You can return to desk work in a week, and you’ll see that the under eye bags and wrinkles are gone, leaving you looking refreshed and energized.
You’ll most likely be able to return to desk work in about a week.
Strenuous exercise can be resumed in about three weeks.
Blepharoplasty will reclaim the bright, refreshed appearance that you once had in your youth. You’ll notice that you won’t look so tired or worn out anymore.

HOWEVER, THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY KNOW IF YOU’RE A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR SURGERY IS BY TALKING TO DR. GARTNER DURING YOUR PRIVATE MEDICAL CONSULTATION.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR EYELID SURGERY
Blepharoplasty can achieve impressive results in properly selected patients.
For this reason, you’ll have a thorough consultation with Dr. Gartner to ensure the procedure is right for you.
Not only will your aesthetic goals be discussed and your medical history reviewed, Dr. Gartner will examine your eyelids to assess your concern.
Preparing for your eyelid surgery is important for a successful procedure and recovery. Two weeks before your surgery, avoid certain medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, vitamin E, ginseng, and St. John’s Wort.
Additionally, if recommended by Dr. Gartner, start taking arnica supplements two weeks prior to your surgery to help with recovery. Make sure to fill any prescribed medications you will need for recovery ahead of time.
We also recommend setting up a quiet area at home where you can rest after surgery.
Remember not to eat or drink anything for eight hours prior to your surgery. On the day of your surgery, arrive at our surgical facility without makeup and wear comfortable clothing, including a button-up shirt to avoid pulling anything over your head.
UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS
YOUR SURGERY:
It may take anywhere from 30 minutes for a “skin pinch” to tighten lax lower eyelid skin and smooth away static wrinkles, to two hours for tightening skin and smooth away unwanted bulges of fat in the upper and lower eyelids.
