Blepharoplasty in OKC with H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery
OUR EYES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE ON OUR FACES, THEY’RE ALSO USUALLY THE FIRST TO FORM LINES, WRINKLES, SAGGING SKIN, AND BAGS
It’s often said that our eyes are the most prominent feature of our face. Yet, frustratingly, they are also the first to show signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, and bags. This is exactly why eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is among the most sought-after treatments at H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery for both men and women. When skillfully performed, this procedure can refresh the look of your entire face by focusing on just the upper facial area.
The changes are subtle enough that it won’t be immediately apparent to others that you’ve undergone a procedure. Given the sensitivity of the eye region, selecting the right surgeon is crucial for both safety and outstanding outcomes. At H/K/B, we are experts in the detailed anatomy of the eye area and utilize cutting-edge techniques in eyelid surgery.

What Can I Expect During An Eyelid Surgery in OKC?
Eyelid surgery, including both upper and lower blepharoplasty, is typically conducted on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and sedation in our state-of-the-art surgical center, staffed by our expertly trained nurses. These nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support, ensuring exceptional oversight, assessment, and response in the rare occurrence of an emergency. Our facility also features expert anesthesia professionals.
In the case of upper eyelid surgery, the incision is generally made within the natural fold at the inner corner of the eye and may extend just past the outer corner towards the crow’s feet or smile lines. This incision mirrors the upper eyelid’s natural line and blends seamlessly once healed. The surgeon will remove excess skin and fat, making the area appear smoother and tighter.
For the lower eyelids, the incision is usually hidden beneath the lower lash line, allowing for the removal of surplus skin, muscle, and fat to rejuvenate the appearance of the lower eyelid. Additionally, fat can be repositioned to eliminate under-eye puffiness or bulges. Sometimes, the procedure involves tightening the underlying muscle. Often, a transconjunctival approach is used for the lower lid, where the incision is made inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar. Even when the incision is placed just below the lashes, the scar typically remains hidden.
What Can Blepharoplasty Do For Me in Edmond?
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. If you have a drooping upper lid that hangs over your eyes and makes them less prominent, an upper eyelid lift can bring your eyes out of hiding. The eyelid surgery can also often smooth frown lines and other fine lines around the eyes.
If you have bags or puffiness under your eyes, a lower eyelid lift can smooth out the area and make your eyes look young again. “Tear troughs” – deep hollows under the eyes – can also be corrected.
Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with a forehead/brow lift, facelift, or neck lift for an overall more youthful look.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From Eyelid Surgery in OKC?
Recovery from upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty generally takes about 1-2 weeks. During this period, it’s common to experience eye dryness and tearing, along with some swelling and bruising. We will supply eye drops to help speed up your recovery and protect against infections. Any discomfort or pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medications.
To keep swelling at bay, it’s beneficial to keep your head elevated, particularly in the initial days following surgery, and sleeping on your back is recommended for maximum comfort. Avoiding strenuous activities for a few weeks is also advised.
Our team will monitor your healing process closely and will be available to answer any questions you might have as you recover from Oklahoma City eyelid surgery.
Since individual aging processes vary, the longevity of eyelid surgery results can differ greatly. Most patients find that the improvements last between 5 to 9 years.
