Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Ptosis and blepharoplasty are both eyelid surgeries, but they address different underlying conditions and have distinct surgical techniques. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat for cosmetic improvement, while ptosis repair addresses drooping eyelids due to weakened muscles.

What are the reasons for eyelid surgery?

To improve the appearance of the eyes by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat. This can include a more defined skin crease or less prominent fat in the upper eyelids.

To improve vision that is obstructed by drooping eyelids. This can include excess skin on the upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, or droopiness of the lower eyelids.

To relieve headaches, eye strain, and forehead fatigue caused by excess muscle tension or overactive eyebrows.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper eyelid.

Ptosis

Ptosis is when the upper eyelid droops over the eye. The eyelid may droop just a little, or so much that it covers the pupil (the black dot at the center of your eye that lets light in). Ptosis can limit or even completely block normal vision.

Children and adults can have ptosis. Fortunately, this condition can be treated to improve vision as well as appearance.
