Blepharoplasty
Eyelid Surgery in Minneapolis — Expert Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery with Dr. Van Beek restores a refreshed, youthful appearance by addressing drooping upper eyelids and puffy lower lids. The results are subtle yet transformative — you look like yourself, only more rested.
Procedure Overview
Blepharoplasty is one of the most impactful rejuvenation procedures available. The eyes are the focal point of the face, and aging eyelids can make you appear tired, sad, or older than you feel. Dr. Van Beek's technique removes excess skin and fat while preserving the natural shape and expression of the eyes.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooding that can obstruct vision and create a heavy appearance. Lower blepharoplasty targets puffy bags and under-eye hollowing. Both can be performed together for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Who Is It For?
Ideal candidates have excess upper eyelid skin that may impair vision, puffy bags beneath the eyes, or a tired appearance that does not improve with rest.
What to Expect
The procedure takes 1–2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Incisions are concealed within the natural creases of the eyelid, making scars virtually invisible.
Recovery
Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Bruising fades within 2 weeks. Results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their outcomes for 10+ years.
Risks & Considerations
Risks include temporary dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, bruising, and rare complications such as vision changes. Dr. Van Beek's precise technique minimizes all risks.
