4-Lid Blepharoplasty: The Ultimate Solution for Rejuvenated Eyes

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt your eyes looked tired, heavy, or aged, you’re not alone. The eyes are one of the most expressive parts of the face, but they’re also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. For those looking to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance, 4-lid blepharoplasty is an effective and transformative solution. Dr. Chad Wu, a renowned plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Toronto Downtown, specializes in this comprehensive procedure to enhance the upper and lower eyelids.

What Is 4-Lid Blepharoplasty?

4-lid blepharoplasty, or quad blepharoplasty, simultaneously addresses the upper and lower eyelids. This comprehensive approach offers several benefits:

• Creates a more harmonious, balanced eye appearance
• Addresses multiple aging concerns in one procedure
• Provides natural-looking rejuvenation

The procedure effectively corrects:

• Sagging or drooping upper eyelids that may impair vision
• Puffy under-eye bags that create a tired appearance
• Excess skin and fine lines around the eyes

How the Procedure Works

Dr. Chad Wu performs 4-lid blepharoplasty using customized techniques:

• Upper Eyelids: Removes or repositions excess skin, muscle and fat
• Lower Eyelids: Redistributes fat deposits and tightens skin

The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Patients can return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect:

• Initial swelling and bruising that subsides within 1-2 weeks
• Ability to return to normal activities within 7-10 days
• Gradual improvement as final results develop over several weeks

Dr. Wu provides personalized recovery guidance to ensure optimal healing and beautiful, long-lasting results.

Is 4-Lid Blepharoplasty Right for You?

This procedure may be ideal if you experience:

• Heavy or tired-looking upper eyelids
• Persistent under-eye bags
• Excess skin creating an aged appearance

Dr. Chad Wu’s patient-centered approach ensures each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
