Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for both men and women. As we age, skin around the eyes can lose elasticity, leading to drooping lids, puffiness, and a tired or aged appearance. Eyelid surgery can restore a smoother, more youthful look while preserving your natural expression.

Why Consider Eyelid Surgery?

• Removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids
• Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags
• Improves vision in cases where heavy upper lids obstruct sight
• Creates a refreshed, alert appearance

Upper and Lower Eyelids

The upper and lower eyelids can be addressed separately or together, depending on your needs:

• Upper Eyelids: Aging may cause excess skin to droop, sometimes enough to limit vision. Surgery can restore a natural contour and improve sight if obstruction is present.
• Lower Eyelids: Puffiness or “bags” are often due to fat deposits. These can be reduced or repositioned for a smoother, more rested look.

The Procedure

Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Small incisions are carefully placed in natural creases to minimize visibility. Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks.

• Minimal scarring due to the eyelid’s natural healing properties
• Often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for enhanced results
