Tired of those bags under your eyes, or those heavy upper lids? Dr. O’Rourke has been performing cosmetic upper and lower blepharoplasties since 1990. This is a simple, safe procedure to tighten the upper and/or lower lids and remove those bulges that can develop with time above and below the eyes. This is done in an outpatient surgical facility with IV sedation. The procedure on each eyelid takes about 20 minutes. Downtime is primarily the first 2 postoperative days, during which time one must ice the area. Bruising usually lasts 10-14 days, but may last as long as 3-4 weeks. Dr. O’Rourke uses a technique that cauterizes small vessels during the procedure to reduce postoperative bruising and shorten recovery time.
Call us for a complimentary blepharoplasty evaluation with Dr. O’Rourke to see whether this procedure is right for you.
