Bright Eye Blepharoplasty + Gift

Description

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This treatment helps restore a more youthful, refreshed, and alert look while improving vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs sight.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty:

✔ Reduces droopy eyelids for a more youthful and refreshed appearance
✔ Eliminates under-eye bags and puffiness
✔ Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother eyelid contour
✔ Enhances vision if sagging eyelids obstruct sight
✔ Boosts confidence by rejuvenating your facial features

Pre-Procedure Instructions

2 Weeks Before:

• Discontinue retinoids (Retin-A, retinol) and exfoliating acids in the eye area
• Stop blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba)
• Avoid chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling in the treatment area

1 Week Before:

• Stop aspirin and NSAIDs unless medically necessary
• Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure
• If you have a history of cold sores, notify your provider (antivirals may be prescribed)

24–48 Hours Before:

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine
• Do not wax, thread, or bleach the eye area
• Stay well-hydrated

Day of Procedure:

• Arrive with clean skin, no makeup, creams, or lotions around the eyes
• Remove contact lenses
• Inform your provider of any skin sensitivities or allergies

Post-Procedure Instructions

First 24–48 Hours:

• Small carbon crusts (dots) will form at treatment points—do not pick, scratch, or remove them
• Apply prescribed healing ointment or barrier cream as directed
• Expect swelling, which peaks at 24–72 hours
• Apply cold compresses gently if needed for comfort (avoid pressing on treatment dots)
• Avoid water, makeup, and skincare products on treated area

First 7–10 Days:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry
• Allow crusts to fall off naturally (typically 5–10 days); premature removal can cause scarring
• Avoid sun exposure; when outdoors, wear large sunglasses and a hat
• Do not apply makeup to the treated area until crusts have fully shed
• Avoid swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths
• Sleep on your back with head elevated

Weeks 2–4:

• Once crusts have fallen off, the skin may appear pink or slightly discolored—this is normal
• Begin applying SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect healing skin
• Gently moisturize the area with approved products
• Avoid intense sun exposure for 4–8 weeks to prevent hyperpigmentation

Long-Term Care:

• Full results develop over 8–12 weeks as collagen remodeling occurs
• Multiple treatments may be needed (spaced 6–8 weeks apart) for optimal results
• Maintain results with proper skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle

Contact Your Provider If:

• Signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, pus, fever)
• Excessive swelling that doesn’t improve after 72 hours
• Unusual scarring or skin texture changes
