What 4 Fayetteville practices that list blepharoplasty say on their own websites (checked September 2026); one that does not mention something may still offer it, so ask at your consultation.
Eyelid surgery involves small incisions made along the natural contours of the eyes, which helps minimize visible scarring. The surgeon typically begins with the upper eyelids to remove excess fatty tissue and tighten loose skin. The lower eyelids are addressed next to reduce puffiness and smooth under-eye shadows and hollowness.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience during the surgery.
At Taylor Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert Taylor and Dr. Dominic Massary offer many brow lift methods, including traditional brow lifts and endoscopic brow lifts, to achieve your unique aesthetic goals. This procedure is often performed with blepharoplasty for a more significant improvement of the eye area.
Overall, recovery from eyelid surgery is minimal.
Healing from eyelid surgery typically takes a few weeks, with long-lasting results that restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Blepharoplasty generally runs $3,200–$7,500 per procedure, and each Fayetteville clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Fayetteville clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Fayetteville providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Pull the skin under your eye gently downward and outward while looking in a mirror. If the darkness or shadow disappears, you are dealing with a hollow or a contour issue, which filler can often address. If a bulge remains or the skin itself is loose and crepey, that is tissue, and only surgery removes tissue. Upper lids follow the same logic: if skin rests on your lashes or folds over the crease, no injectable will lift it meaningfully.
Sometimes, for upper eyelids only, and only when the hooding is severe enough to obstruct vision. That requires a documented visual field test showing the obstruction, performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Lower blepharoplasty is considered cosmetic in essentially all cases. Ask the surgeon's office to run the insurance verification before you assume either way, because the answer varies by carrier and by how much field loss the test shows.
Upper blepharoplasty results typically hold for 10 to 15 years, and many patients never need a revision. Lower blepharoplasty is often effectively permanent for the fat that was removed, since those fat pads do not regrow. What continues is normal aging of the surrounding skin, which is why some patients pair surgery with resurfacing or continue with skincare afterward.
Temporary dry eye is the most common complaint and usually resolves within weeks. Less common issues include asymmetry between the two sides, visible scarring in patients prone to it, and in lower-lid surgery, a pulled-down appearance to the lid margin called ectropion, which is uncommon in experienced hands but is the main reason lower blepharoplasty rewards surgeon selection. Serious complications affecting vision are rare. Discuss your specific risk factors, including dry eye history and thyroid conditions, at consultation.
Both plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and oculoplastic surgeons, who are ophthalmologists with additional fellowship training in eyelid and orbital surgery, perform this operation regularly. For lower-lid work in particular, oculoplastic training is a genuine advantage worth asking about. Either way, confirm the certification directly rather than relying on a website description.
