I am very interested in upper and lower blepharoplasty. I am just confused as to which type of surgeon to seek out. I am only considering oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeons. Which one is best for this type of surgery?
Answer: Blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. It is important to evaluate a surgeon based on their years of experience, number of surgeries performed per year, patient testimonials, patient before and after photos, training, education and reputation.

Answer: Surgeon for blepharoplasty Three types of surgeons get training in blepharoplasty: plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons (facial plastic surgery), and ophthalmologists (oculoplastic surgeons). The important part is not just the training background, but experience. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: You should also consider Plastic Surgeons Plastic and Reconstructive surgery is the original field committed to plastic surgery and that pioneered most of the cosmetic procedure. While now of days other specialties have fellowships in either oculoplastics and facial plastics that qualify them to perform blepharoplasties, traditional plastic surgeons especially those with Aesthetic fellowships have extensive experience with eyelid and facial surgery. In fact we typically complete 3 years of plastic training vs 1 year of training required for facial or oculoplastic fellowships. But find someone you are comfortable with with good before and afters.

Answer: Best surgeon for eyelid surgery It is best to seek an experienced surgeon that uses minimal invasive technique with natural results. When it comes to lower eyelids, that means transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning (see following surgical video and website link). Mostly, oculoplastic surgeons use such technique but there are some facial plastics that use it too.

Answer: Best eyelid surgeon? You're looking at the right type of surgeons. The final decision should be based on the specific doctors you are meeting with and their experience level and your comfort level with their aesthetic preferences based on before and after photos and prior patient references.
