Why Consider Eyelid Surgery?

As the skin slowly loses its elasticity, the effects of the sun and the pull of gravity all affect the face. This results in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness to the skin of the eyebrows and upper eyelids.

Patients frequently tell us that their eyes make them look older than they feel. They may also appear tired, angry, or sad, merely because of the wrinkles, drooping, and excess skin of the forehead, brows, and eyelids.

About Eyelid Surgery Also Known as a Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, will help open up your eyes, giving you a more alert, youthful, and refreshed look. Often, the brow contributes to the tired, drooping appearance around the eyes.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Over time, the skin of the upper lids starts drooping, and the clean line of the eyelid crease is lost. An upper eyelid lift removes excess skin and fat, restoring a more youthful appearance. Since the incision is hidden along the natural folds of the upper lid, it is almost imperceptible after healing.

Lower Blepharoplasty/Mid-facelift

These techniques improve the appearance of the lower eyelids and upper cheeks (mid-face). Lower lid blepharoplasty addresses excess lower eyelid skin and puffiness. A mid-facelift takes this procedure a step further by performing a lower eyelid lift while rejuvenating the cheeks and upper face.

The incisions for the procedures are concealed either on the inside of the eyelid or just at the lashes. Recovery time is similar to that of an upper lid blepharoplasty.
