Bilateral Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Our 59-year-old female patient came to Aristocrat Plastic Surgery to consult with Dr. Tehrani regarding facial rejuvenation. She expressed disappointment with the overall tired look of her face as well as tired-looking eyes. Her examination showed evidence of significant upper eyelid skin excess and laxity. Dr. Tehrani recommended undergoing an upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia. In most eyelid surgeries, general anesthesia is used, but local anesthesia with intravenous sedation may be sufficient in some cases. Dr. Tehrani and our anesthesiologists help patients make the decision that is best for them. Three months after her procedure, our patient was extremely happy with her results, and is no longer bothered by the excess hooding over her eyes that once made her always look tired. Dr. Tehrani has been in practice for many years, providing safe and natural-looking eyelid lifts for his patients.
