Awaken Your Eyes with Eyelid Surgery in Pasadena

The eyes are often called the windows to the soul, yet they are also one of the first areas to reveal fatigue and aging. Loose upper eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags can make you look older or more tired than you feel. At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons specialize in upper and lower blepharoplasty in Pasadena, creating refreshed, natural results. With a balance of surgical expertise and artistry, we help patients achieve brighter, more youthful eyes while preserving their natural expression.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, addresses excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyes to restore a smoother, more open appearance.

  • Upper eyelid surgery: Corrects drooping lids that can obscure vision or weigh down the eyes.
  • Lower eyelid surgery: Reduces puffiness, bulges, or hollowing beneath the eyes.

This procedure can be performed for cosmetic rejuvenation, functional vision improvement, or both, offering natural, refined enhancement that lasts for years.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Patients in Pasadena choose blepharoplasty for its many advantages:

  • Restores youthful definition to the eye area
  • Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags
  • Improves peripheral vision impacted by excess skin
  • Creates harmony and balance in facial features
  • Produces subtle results with discreet, hidden incisions
  • Can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for greater impact

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for blepharoplasty in Pasadena if you:

  • Have sagging or drooping eyelids
  • Experience under-eye bags or puffiness
  • Struggle with vision impairment caused by eyelid skin
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Want natural-looking, long-lasting improvements

During your consultation at Athēnix Pasadena, your surgeon will review your goals and anatomy to recommend whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination will best meet your needs.

What to Expect During Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery is usually performed in our AAAHC-accredited Pasadena facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

  • Upper lids: Small incisions are made in the natural eyelid creases to remove or reposition tissue.
  • Lower lids: Incisions are placed inside the eyelid or along the lash line for precise correction.
  • Closure: Fine sutures are used to ensure smooth healing and minimal scarring.

Most procedures take 1–2 hours, and patients return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after blepharoplasty is generally straightforward. Swelling, bruising, and mild tightness are normal in the first week, improving quickly with rest and cold compresses.

  • Return to light activities in 7–10 days
  • Initial results visible within 1–2 weeks
  • Final refinement by 1–2 months
  • Long-lasting improvements, often 10 years or more

Patients enjoy brighter, more open eyes and a refreshed appearance that reflects their energy and vitality.
