Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sagging or puffy eyelids?

Eyelid sagging and puffiness are often caused by aging, genetics, or the weakening of muscles and connective tissues around the eyes. Fat deposits may shift or protrude, and skin loses elasticity, leading to a tired or aged appearance. Environmental factors like sun exposure and lifestyle habits also play a role.

Who is a good candidate for blepharoplasty?

Ideal candidates are in good health and want to improve the appearance of drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, or impaired vision due to sagging skin. A consultation will help determine if upper blepharoplasty or lower eyelid surgery—or a combination—is right for you.

What is recovery like after eyelid surgery?

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for about 7–10 days. Discomfort is minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter medications. Stitches are typically removed within a week, and most patients return to normal routines shortly after.

How long do blepharoplasty results last?

Results from eyelid surgery are long-lasting—often 10 years or more. While no procedure can stop the aging process entirely, eyelid rejuvenation can dramatically turn back the clock and maintain a more rested, youthful look.

What are the risks of eyelid surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including temporary blurred vision, dry eyes, scarring, or asymmetry. These complications are rare, and Dr. Miller uses meticulous techniques and detailed follow-up care to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

Can eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine blepharoplasty with a brow lift, facelift, or non-surgical treatments like Botox for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Miller will create a personalized plan to help you achieve natural-looking, balanced results.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Miller will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and review treatment options. You’ll receive a detailed surgical plan and a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after your eyelid surgery.
