Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals who:
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by addressing sagging skin, puffiness, and wrinkles around the upper and lower eyelids. Dr. Wangui Waithaka’s expertise in this delicate surgery ensures results that look natural and refreshed.
The procedure targets common concerns such as droopy upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin, which can make you appear tired or older than you feel. In some cases, it can also improve vision if sagging upper eyelid skin obstructs your line of sight.
Dr. Waithaka offers a comprehensive consultation to assess your concerns and discuss your goals. This personalized evaluation helps determine whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination of both is best for you.
Performed under local or general anesthesia, blepharoplasty typically takes one to two hours. Incisions are made along the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Waithaka’s meticulous technique ensures a natural look that enhances your unique features.
Postoperative care is key to a smooth recovery. Swelling and bruising are common but subside over time, revealing brighter, more youthful eyes. Dr. Waithaka’s compassionate care and expertise ensure patient satisfaction and a rejuvenated appearance.
Results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their refreshed appearance for 10 to 15 years.
If sagging upper eyelids obstruct your vision, the procedure can significantly improve your line of sight.
Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, though swelling may take a few weeks to fully subside.
Incisions are carefully placed along the natural creases of the eyelids, making scars virtually invisible once healed.
