Eyelid Surgery and Browlift

Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty or an eye lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyes. As you age, your eyelids may begin to look tired, puffy, or droopy, and these changes can become more pronounced over time. We specialize in performing eyelid surgery to restore a more youthful and refreshed look.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift or upper eyelid surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance and function of the eyelids. This procedure involves the removal or repositioning of excess skin and fat around the upper eyelids to restore natural folds, improve peripheral vision, and create a more youthful look.

During blepharoplasty, the surgeon carefully removes surplus tissue from the upper lids and may tighten loose skin around the outer corners of the eyes for a smoother, rejuvenated appearance.

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results. Recovery time varies, but most patients resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks.

What Aging Problems Can Eyelid Surgery Improve?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a specialized procedure performed to enhance the appearance of the eyes and address common signs of aging. This surgery effectively treats concerns such as excess skin, drooping eyelids, fat pockets, and wrinkles. In some cases, it can also improve vision by removing sagging skin that obstructs the field of sight.

The primary goal of blepharoplasty is to restore a natural eyelid crease while smoothing wrinkles and reducing puffiness, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance with minimal scarring. Depending on individual anatomy, the surgeon carefully removes excess skin or fat from the upper eyelids and may tighten loose skin at the outer corners of the eyes to achieve optimal results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are individuals with loose or sagging skin, puffiness, or wrinkles around the eyes that contribute to an aged or tired appearance. Candidates should be in good overall health, have no underlying conditions that may impair healing.
