Eyelid Rejuvenation
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a rejuvenating procedure aimed at correcting sagging or drooping eyelids.
How Blepharoplasty Can Help
Blepharoplasty offers numerous benefits by enhancing the natural beauty of your eyes without altering your unique features. This procedure reduces the appearance of sagging eyelids and excess skin by removing excess skin and fat around the eyes, resulting in a more alert and youthful look.
Patients typically experience long-lasting results, and with proper care, a refreshed appearance can be maintained for many years. At The Lucas Center for plastic surgery, we’re dedicated to helping patients across Knoxville, the Tri-Cities, and beyond East Tennessee feel their best with vibrant, confidence-creating results.

The Surgery Process
Dr. Lucas approaches each blepharoplasty with a comprehensive, custom surgical plan based on the patient’s goals and eyelid structure. This procedure involves Dr. Lucas making precise incisions in the eyelid creases, removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, or fat, and then delicately closing the incisions for smooth healing. During your surgery consultation in Knoxville at our office, we’ll discuss the procedure more in depth so you know exactly what to expect before surgery day.
Post-surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible recovery, whether you are local to East Tennessee or traveling back home after the procedure.

What is the recovery time?
Most patients recovering from blepharoplasty can resume light activities within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately 2-3 weeks for a better recovery and results. Initial swelling and bruising is expected but gradually disappears over time.
Following the post-operative care guidelines provided by Dr. Jay Lucas is essential for a smooth recovery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care can also help extend the benefits of your eyelid rejuvenation surgery, keeping your eyes looking refreshed for years to come.
