Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It addresses drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, loose skin, and excess fat deposits that can create a tired or aged look. In some cases, upper eyelid surgery may also improve peripheral vision when excess skin interferes with eyesight.
The procedure is customized according to each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
You may be a suitable candidate if you have:
Removes excess skin and reduces puffiness for refreshed-looking eyes.
Enhances the natural contour of the upper and lower eyelids.
Minimizes bulging fat pockets that contribute to a tired appearance.
Upper eyelid surgery can help when excess skin obstructs peripheral vision.
Provides durable cosmetic improvement when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
Many patients feel more confident after achieving a brighter and more rested appearance.
Small incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed or repositioned before the incision is closed for a discreet scar.
The surgeon may use an incision just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid, depending on the patient’s needs. Fat pockets are repositioned or removed, and excess skin may be tightened to create a smoother contour.
For comprehensive rejuvenation, both upper and lower eyelids may be treated during the same procedure to achieve balanced facial enhancement.
