Managing Expectations: Realistic Outcomes of Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty can produce stunning results, but it’s important to understand what the procedure can—and can’t—do. At Restore Surgical Center in Kelowna, we believe in honest conversations and realistic expectations so you can be thrilled with your results.
What You Can Expect from Blepharoplasty:
✅ A more alert and rested appearance
✅ Smoother eyelid contours
✅ Less heaviness in the eyelids
✅ Improved peripheral vision (in functional cases)
These changes are often subtle but powerful, giving your face a refreshed look without drastic change.
What It Won’t Do:
🚫 Remove crow’s feet or forehead wrinkles
🚫 Change eye shape drastically
🚫 Tighten sagging cheeks or brows
🚫 Eliminate dark circles caused by pigmentation
For these concerns, patients may explore additional cosmetic options.
The Bottom Line:
Blepharoplasty enhances the natural features you already have. Most patients report looking “well-rested” or “like themselves, but younger.”
A clear conversation with your surgeon will help ensure your goals are achievable—and that you leave happy with the outcome.
