Leading Facial Plastic Surgeon and Facial Nerve Specialist: Dr. Tessa Hadlock

While it’s commonly sought after for cosmetic enhancement, it’s also a valuable option for patients with functional issues due to sagging upper eyelid skin or the impact of facial palsy. Dr. Tessa Hadlock specializes in delivering this procedure as an in-office treatment with only local anesthetic injections. This minimally invasive approach cancels the need for general anesthesia or sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience for patients while achieving refined, natural-looking results that leave you looking refreshed and youthful.

The Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure

Our upper eyelid surgery in Boston addresses various concerns, including excess skin, drooping eyelids, puffiness, and wrinkles around the upper eye area. At the Hadlock Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer this procedure as an in-office treatment, emphasizing patient comfort and convenience. The decision to perform the procedure without general anesthesia or sedation is rooted in Dr. Hadlock’s expertise and commitment to providing safe, effective, and comfortable care.

Comfortable Eyelid Surgery Process

The procedure begins with local anesthetic injections to numb the treatment area, ensuring you won’t feel any discomfort during the surgery. Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Hadlock will make discreet incisions along the natural creases of your upper eyelids. These incisions are strategically placed to ensure minimal scarring and are virtually imperceptible once healed.

Next, Dr. Hadlock will remove excess skin and, if necessary, reposition or remove fat deposits to create a smoother and more youthful appearance. The muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids are typically left untouched, preserving your natural ability to open and close your eyes.
