How Does Eyelid Surgery Work?
What Can Eyelid Surgery Address?
Blepharoplasty can help patients achieve a more youthful, awakened appearance that helps boost their confidence. Eyelid surgery addresses signs of aging around the eyes like:
Other Candidacy Factors
Dr. Berbari requires all plastic surgery patients to undergo a comprehensive evaluation before determining which enhancement procedure best fits their needs and fulfills their cosmetic desires. In addition, older patients with vision conditions should undergo an eye examination by a specialist to detect potential complications such as dry eye or excessive tears. Candidates for eyelid surgery at our surgical centre serving Gatineau and Ottawa most commonly include patients who:
Desire an improvement in their facial appearance
Have sagging skin in their upper or lower eyelids
Are in good health and have healthy tissue surrounding their eyes and brow
Are non-smokers
Do not have serious eye diseases or severe eye conditions
Have realistic goals for their plastic surgery outcome
Asian Blepharoplasty
/
Dr. Berbari does not perform blepharoplasty on patients who are of Asian decent. Because the treatment required to produce outstanding results for these patients is especially complex, Dr. Berbari will refer these patients to a surgeon with the required expertise.

How Popular Is Eyelid Surgery?
Complementary Procedures
Many patients undergoing blepharoplasty choose to combine their eyelid procedures with other forms of plastic surgery or with nonsurgical treatments. Combining procedures can help rejuvenate the entire face. Blepharoplasty can be combined with the following procedures:
Face Lift
To match the tightened, youthful effects of eyelid surgery, many patients combine blepharoplasty with a face lift for an overall youthful transformation. Blepharoplasty only targets and rejuvenates the excess skin around the eyes, leaving the rest of the patient's face untouched. A face lift may benefit patients seeking more comprehensive results.
Injectables
Injectables offer a non-invasive way to tackle wrinkles and fine lines around a patient's face. Unlike blepharoplasty surgery which creates results that last for years, injectables are a temporary solution. We offer botulinum toxin, fat transfer, and dermal fillers.
Laser Neck Lift
Similar to your eyelids, the neck has thin skin, and as such is prone to the effects of aging. If you want the positive effects of a neck lift without more surgery, our office offers laser neck lifts that are entirely non-invasive and produce stunning results.
Brow Lift
If a sagging brow is contributing to the drooping of the upper eyelids, blepharoplasty alone may not produce the desired results. In this case, a brow lift may be necessary to effectively lift the upper eyelids and address droopy brows.

Risks and Complications
The benefits of blepharoplasty are clear, but as in all plastic and cosmetic surgical procedures, there is a risk of:
The removal of too much skin may result in an ectropion (excessive stretching of the lower eyelid).
Bleeding and infection may occur.
In very rare cases, a hematoma (build-up of blood) behind the eye may cause blurred vision. This complication does not occur without symptoms, however.
A patient may complain of extreme pain and his or her vision may be clouded. While this is a medical emergency, the problem can be quickly dealt with by a trusted medical professional.
