Eyelid Surgery

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

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes. The procedure usually takes about 1 hour and can be performed in the office using local anesthesia. Stitches can be removed after one week. Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in conjunction with other facial surgery such as a brow lift.

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.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

A lower blepharoplasty corrects undereye bags with repositioning and possible removal of redundant fat and skin. It also treats sagging lower lids that may reveal excess white space beneath your iris (the colored circular portion of your eyes surrounding your black pupil).
