Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Before & After Case 107

These photos provide an excellent example of the dramatic changes that can be achieved through relatively minor plastic surgery. This Indiana woman, 65, came to Dr. Galante's Schererville office wanting eyelid surgery.

She was unhappy with puffiness around her eyes. Notice the heavy upper lids that almost obscure her eyes in the "before" photo, as well as the bags beneath her eyes.

Dr. Galante and the patient decided after a consultation that he would do blepharoplasty on both her upper and lower eyelids. One of the things that makes blepharoplasty such a popular procedure is its relatively short operating and recovery time.

The chance of a complication is quite rare with this procedure, and patients are usually back to work or their normal daily activities within a few days. Despite the simplicity of the surgery and recovery, the results can be dramatic. The "after" photo in this patient's case shows someone who not only looks younger but also more alert.
