Celebrities Who Have Undergone Blepharoplasty

Perhaps you’ve been considering a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of your eyes, which have become more old or tired looking than you’d like. Yet, for a plethora of reasons, you’ve hesitated – perhaps because you want to learn about others who have already undergone such a procedure with success.

If you don’t know anyone close to you who has undergone a cosmetic eye treatment, it’s very likely that a celebrity you like or admire has successfully undergone such a procedure to rejuvenate their appearance. While it’s true that Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, and facelift procedures have gained the most fame, the truth is that many celebrities or others who are constantly in the public eye undergo more under-the-radar corrective procedures because, as the saying goes, the devil’s in the details.

As such, you might be surprised to learn that the appearance of your eyelids could be heavily contributing to an aged appearance. The tissues around the eyes begin to show the effects of aging through ptosis, which is essentially the drooping or sagging of excess skin around the eyes.

Droopy eyelids can affect one eye or both at the same time, making you appear stressed, tired, medicated, or older. Droopiness can also make it difficult to keep your eye(s) open; in only one eye, it can make it look as if the eyes are not the same size.

For these and other eyelid conditions, well-known Beverly Hills double board-certified oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Ray Taban has an effective solution, which many celebrities have undergone, as well: blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure to improve eyelid appearance.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Also known as an eyelift or eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat in the eyelids and tighten or lift the lids for a more youthful look that helps restore self-esteem. The surgery is delicate and should only be trusted to a trained, experienced, and highly-skilled oculoplastic surgeon.

As a standalone facial rejuvenation treatment, blepharoplasty is very effective; yet, it is also frequently performed along with other procedures, including facelifts, laser skin resurfacing, lip injections, and more.

The general goal of the procedure is to restore the eyelid or eyelids to their normal position, though it depends on each patient’s given condition. The surgery normally takes an hour or less, depending on the extent of the excess, sagging skin.

The procedure is minimally invasive, which makes for a quicker recovery that’s also less painful, although results and pain tolerance vary. Most patients don’t have more than 2-3 days of downtime, however, a full recovery won’t take place for 10-14 days, as it can take that long for the swelling or bruising to subside. In most cases, vision usually remains unimpaired throughout recovery.

To learn how effective a blepharoplasty is and how it can help you sustain a more youthful appearance, here are 11 celebrities who’ve undergone the procedure with good results.
