Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty in Vancouver, BC

Driven by an unwavering commitment to refinement, Dr. Paul Denton developed Eye Lift 3D™, a revolutionary approach that transcends traditional eyelid surgery by addressing all dimensions of eyelid aging. This method goes beyond mere skin removal, addressing the skin surface and deeper tissues to ensure optimal and enduring results.

The Recovery

01. The First Step

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyes by addressing excess skin, weakened muscle, and shifted fat in the upper or lower eyelids. The eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body, which is why the eyes often show age first — and why surgery in this area demands precision and restraint.

‍

In consultation, Dr. Denton evaluates not just the eyelids themselves but the structures around them: brow position, tear trough depth, skin quality, and the way your eyes sit within the face. Sometimes what appears to be eyelid heaviness is actually brow descent, and an honest assessment matters more than a quick answer. He'll walk you through whether upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty best suits your anatomy.

02. Procedure at a Glance

Blepharoplasty is typically a shorter procedure performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the surgical plan. Upper eyelid incisions are hidden within the natural crease; lower eyelid incisions are placed just beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid itself, leaving no visible scar.

‍

Dr. Denton removes or repositions tissue conservatively — the goal is a refreshed eye, never a hollow or surprised one. Most patients return home the same day.

03. The Recovery

Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal in the first week and are managed with cold compresses, head elevation, and rest. Many patients feel presentable within a week or two, often with the help of glasses or light cover-up, though the timeline differs for everyone. Sutures are typically removed 5-7 days.

‍

Vision-intensive activities, contact lenses, and exercise are reintroduced gradually based on Dr. Denton's guidance. Final results emerge as residual swelling resolves over the following weeks, revealing a brighter, more rested appearance.

Dr. Paul Denton's commitment to quality work and natural-looking results is evident in everything he does. When we discussed a deep plane face and neck lift, the team also introduced the idea of a lip lift—something I hadn’t considered, but it turned out to make a world of difference. I truly felt cared for every step of the way.
