What Is Blepharoplasty?
/
As we grow older, our skin can begin to loosen and droop. Also, the fat under our skin can increase in some areas, and decrease in others. Because the eyelids are not immune to these factors, this can leave your eyes looking puffy, tired, and aged.
How a Blepharoplasty Can Improve Your Appearance
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
Restore Your Confidence
Wrinkles and sagging around the eyes can leave you feeling self-conscious about your looks or age. By eliminating these, Dr. Graham can help you gain greater confidence in your appearance.
Improve Your Field of Vision
Sagging eyelids can interfere with your ability to see. By removing excess skin and tightening the eyelids, your field of vision will be improved.
Look Younger Longer
While results cannot last forever, you can anticipate long-lasting changes. Many of Dr. Graham's patients don't even need to consider having treatment for over a decade.
Recover More Quickly
Dr. Graham can not only complete this procedure in just a few hours, he also does so with only local anesthetic instead of general anesthesia. Patients remain comfortable and can recover from surgery in hours rather than over a few days. You can expect to resume light activities in a matter of days and a full recovery in just a few weeks.
Blepharoplasty was the 4th most popular plastic surgery in the U.S. in 2022.

How We Help You Enjoy a Smooth Blepharoplasty Recovery
Serious complications from eyelid surgery, like infections, are rare. And even though most of our blepharoplasty patients are surprised by how easy their recovery period is, we take special steps to help you feel more comfortable during the healing process:
- Post-op pain is usually mild and easily controlled. Dr. Graham may prescribe antibiotic eye drops and pain medications.
- Lauren Mauldin and Stacy Bufano, our Skin Care Specialists, can teach you gentle post-op eyelid massage techniques to increase circulation. This helps reduce minor complications like swelling and bruising.
- Our skin care specialist can also give you personalized makeup advice to conceal any lingering signs of treatment.
- Dr. Graham and his staff will present you with written pre- and post-op care instructions before your procedure. You can contact us any time with questions or concerns about potential complications.
From Asheville to Spartanburg, NC Patients Appreciate Our Team
I love this place. The closest thing I ever had to a surgery was a root canal but recently went to Dr Graham…Him and his staff are amazing. So if you want a good surgeon and an overall good team this is the place. They all answered my questions and I stayed having them but they were always polite and eager to make sure I was comfortable from beginning to end…I’m thankful for my results.
View on GoogleDr. Sutton Graham is very knowledgeable of not only the medical aspect of elective/corrective surgery, but also the psychological side. He sets realistic expectations, and in my experience, it went way better than I expected. Highly recommend!

Q. Does blepharoplasty hurt?
A. The discomfort from blepharoplasty is incredibly minimal, and we will always work to ensure that you're as at ease as possible. Dr. Graham can complete this procedure in just a few hours. Those who desire an upper blepharoplasty can choose between local anesthetic or general anesthesia. If you opt for local anesthetic, you can also avoid the immediate post-procedure recovery effects of general anesthesia, like a headache, chills, or nausea.
Q. Can I get upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time?
A. Yes, absolutely. As long as it is safe for you, Dr. Graham can refresh your appearance with both upper and lower blepharoplasty. As a result, you will have smoother undereye skin, making you look better-rested, and less upper eyelid skin, allowing you to highlight your beautiful eyes.
Q. Will I have a noticeable scar after blepharoplasty?
A. Typically, patients can expect very minor scarring from eyelid surgery. The scar itself will also be in a less noticeable location, like creased eyelid skin. It will fade away over time, but until then, you can easily cover up any small marks with eye makeup.
