What is Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are an appealing feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes excess skin above or under the eyes can create an aging look. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch offers eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelids, creating a younger and awakened facial appearance. Many individuals receive eyelid surgery at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa to eliminate saggy eyelids, leading to improved appearance and even function. If you are interested in rejuvenating your eyes with eyelid lift surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Bunch at his office in Tuscaloosa, AL.
How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Depending on the nature of the blepharoplasty, general anesthesia or IV sedation will be given. This treatment may be done on the top eyelid by itself, on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both treatments.
- Upper eyelid: Upper blepharoplasty assists in diminishing the hanging of skin that impairs vision to produce a more awakened and appealing look. An incision is usually made along the natural crease to remove tissue and fat.
- Lower eyelid: Eyelid correction on the lower lid is performed to improve puffy skin underneath the lower eyelid. In most cases, an incision is made along the lash line to surgically remove fatty tissue, and the skin is gently lifted to create a smoother look.
- Transconjunctival surgery: When the lower eyelids sag and lose contact with the eyeball, a transconjunctival technique is often recommended. This procedure involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid to tighten and contour the fat and muscle, restoring both the appearance and function of the eyelid.
What Are the Benefits of Blepharoplasty?
A customized eyelid lift at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa offers both practical and aesthetic improvements to your eyelids, with key benefits such as:
- Creating a more present, awake appearance
- Boosting the contour and appearance of the eyes
- Improving eyesight by improving line of vision
- Reducing lumps in the lower lids
- Treating looseness and/or drooping skin in the lower and upper eyelids
- Attaining a more youthful appearance
- Decreasing discomfort by eliminating friction from skin creases
Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa Reviews
This surgeon is amazing! Very skilled in what he does, very knowledgeable, and his staff is very helpful and very very professional. He was able to get my procedure covered by my medical insurance, which cut his payment down to very little! But you would think I paid $1 million based on the treatment, and the courtesy and concern that all have demonstrated during my procedure and recovery. I traveled from out of state to have this procedure and honestly, I don’t think I would’ve found a greater experience than I found at Plastic Surgery Of Tuscaloosa and Doctor Bunch! He definitely cares about what you care about!!!
Dr. Bunch has proven his self noteworthy with me. He has the ability to transform lives as I know it! I suffer from a metabolic syndrome and even with diet and exercise I would have not been able to alleviate the excessive fat and skin from my body. I lost 65 pounds and due to my apron developing a rash and no relief of cream, it was deemed medically necessary to have the excess skin and fat removed from my abdomen. Dr. Bunch made me feel comfortable and like family. He ensured he would take care of me and he did. I’m truly thankful for his gift of surgery on my body because he truly transformed and addressed the health issues I was dealing with. I hope this encourages anyone who is searching for relief to try him. You have found the right answer you have been looking for!
Dr. Bunch listens to your concerns and is nice. I’ve experienced speaking with another plastic surgeon and he was rude and made me feel worse about myself, but Dr. Bunch is very professional but also helps you realize what your concerns are and makes me feel better about myself and the results I can achieve. I would definitely refer him as your Plastic Surgeon.

Ideal Candidates
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is performed on both women and men. During your private consultation, treatment alternatives will be explained by Dr. Bunch based on your areas of concern that need to be corrected. Generally, ideal candidates are impaired by excess, sagging skin and folds above their eyes or bloated skin below the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause functional and vision difficulties that can get in the way of everyday activities. For a rejuvenated appearance, eyelid surgery may be the appropriate procedure for you. If you have loose skin that droops on the upper eyelid or puffy bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can treat this to provide you with a younger appearance.
