Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The eyes are one of the most defining features of the face, and their appearance plays a significant role in conveying youth and vitality. Over time, aging, genetics, and lifestyle factors can lead to drooping eyelids, puffiness, and excess skin, making the eyes look tired or aged. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by removing excess skin and fat, restoring a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a specialized procedure that enhances the appearance and function of the eyelids. It involves carefully removing or repositioning excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to restore a more defined eyelid crease, improve peripheral vision, and achieve a natural, rejuvenated look. This procedure can also smooth wrinkles and reduce puffiness around the eyes.
Performed as an outpatient procedure, blepharoplasty typically requires only local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and the extent of surgery. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within one to two weeks.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

  • Restores a youthful, refreshed appearance

  • Eliminates excess skin and puffiness around the eyes

  • Improves peripheral vision in cases of significant eyelid sagging

  • Creates a more defined and natural eyelid contour

  • Offers long-lasting results with minimal, well-hidden scarring


Choosing the Right Candidate

  • The best candidates for eyelid surgery are individuals experiencing:

  • Drooping or sagging upper eyelids

  • Puffy bags under the eyes

  • Excess skin that affects vision

  • A tired or aged appearance around the eyes


Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results. During a consultation, Dr. Anthony LaBruna and Dr. Philip Lotfi will assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine if blepharoplasty is the right procedure for you.

Complementary Procedures

Eyelid surgery can be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments for enhanced results. Many patients choose to pair blepharoplasty with:

  • Brow Lift to elevate sagging brows and smooth forehead wrinkles

  • Facelift to address lower face aging for a comprehensive rejuvenation

  • Non-Surgical Treatments such as Botox or fillers to enhance the results
