Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, but it’s also surrounded by myths that can make prospective patients hesitant. Let’s clear up some of the most common misconceptions about this transformative procedure.
Myth 1: Eyelid Surgery Is Only for Cosmetic Reasons
- Truth: While blepharoplasty is excellent for enhancing your appearance, it’s also performed for functional reasons, such as improving vision obstructed by droopy lids.
Myth 2: It’s Only for Older Adults
- Truth: People in their 30s and 40s often opt for eyelid surgery to address genetic factors like under-eye bags or droopy lids.
Myth 3: The Scars Are Noticeable
- Truth: Dr. Davis strategically places incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, making scars virtually invisible once healed.
Myth 4: Recovery Is Long and Painful
- Truth: Most patients experience only mild discomfort and can return to normal activities within 10–14 days.
Myth 5: Results Look Unnatural
- Truth: When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Davis, eyelid surgery enhances your natural beauty without making you look “overdone.”
