Eyelid Surgery

One of the most popular surgeries for facial rejuvenation is eyelid surgery, often called blepharoplasty. The reason for its popularity are the dramatic effect it can have on your appearance with relatively little down time and often does not require general anesthesia. Often times surgery can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids at the same time. Or eyelid surgery can be combined with other cosmetic procedures for an even more dramatic change. Dr. Albright is trained to assess and appropriately treat your facial aging needs with the most appropriate and effective techniques.

eyelid Surgery FAQ’s

Will eyelid surgery improve my vision?

Upper eyelid surgery can improve your vision if your vision is blocked by a droopy, or 'ptotic', upper eyelid. This is assessed on physical exam and may require formal visual field testing by an ophthalmologist prior to surgery for some insurers.

What is the typical recovery like after eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery recovery depends on what surgical techniques were utilized to rejuvenate your eyelids. Dr. Albright and his staff will help you plan for your recovery. Most patients will have swelling and bruising immediately after surgery, and can even develop a "black eye". Patients should plan for this in their postoperative recovery. Typically it is about 1-2 weeks before one can be presentable in public with make-up covering the bruising. The swelling is more difficult to mask, but will have largely resolved by about 2 months after surgery. Final results are achieved when swelling is completely resolved (3-5 months), and scars have matured (8-12 months).

“ Dr. Albright is a skilled and precise surgeon. At my first appointment
Dr. Albright and his staff are extremely skilled and knowledge. Being an RN and knowing details about surgical complications and post op infection risks, I wouldn’t go to any other plastic surgeons in town. He absolutely wants the best results and is willing to take the time needed to achieve that goal. Dr. Albright is realistic about expectations and outcomes and takes the time during procedures to do it right. I highly recommend Dr. Albright without reservations. ”

Breast Augmentation

“ I recently had breast augmentation, and I am so pleased with my results. He spent a great deal of time explaining my options, listening to what I wanted, and providing his opinion. I visited other surgeons in the area and didn’t feel any of the others listened or cared quite like Dr. Albright. Not only do I recommend Dr. Albright, hospital nurses commented to me that he is the best! ”

“ Dr. Albright is a caring professional - he answers all questions thoroughly and takes as much time as necessary. He is an exceptional doctor. Everyone is friendly, caring and shows genuine concern for how the patient is feeling - I felt comfortable the first time I met Dr. Albright and his staff. This continued on every visit. ”
