Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyelids. Excess skin, fatty deposits, and muscle laxity around the upper and lower eyelids are addressed through precise incisions. The surgeon removes or repositions tissue to alleviate puffiness, smooth wrinkles, and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance to the eyes. Blepharoplasty can enhance aesthetic appeal and visual function, providing natural-looking results that rejuvenate the entire face.

Upper Blepharoplasty


Upper blepharoplasty, also known as an upper eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper eyelids. Excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue are meticulously trimmed and repositioned through precise incisions along the eyelids' natural creases. By addressing drooping eyelids, hooded eyes, and puffiness, upper blepharoplasty restores a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the eyes. This procedure can enhance aesthetic appeal and visual function, improving peripheral vision and alleviating discomfort caused by sagging eyelids.

Lower Blepharoplasty


Lower blepharoplasty, also known as a lower eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure focused on rejuvenating the appearance of the lower eyelids. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed or repositioned through carefully placed incisions to address concerns such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles. Lower blepharoplasty aims to restore a smoother, more youthful contour to the lower eyelids, enhancing overall facial harmony and rejuvenating the eye area.

The Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Rejuvenated Appearance: Blepharoplasty effectively addresses signs of aging around the eyes, such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles. Removing excess skin and fatty tissue restores a smoother and more youthful contour to the eyelids, rejuvenating the overall appearance of the eyes and face.

Enhanced Self-Confidence: A refreshed and rejuvenated eye appearance can significantly boost self-esteem and self-confidence. Individuals who undergo blepharoplasty often report feeling more comfortable and satisfied with their overall appearance, leading to improved quality of life and enhanced social interactions.

Improved Visual Function: In cases where sagging eyelid skin obstructs vision, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision and overall visual function. Lifting and tightening the eyelids enhances sightlines and reduces the risk of visual impairment caused by excess skin.

Brighter, More Expressive Eyes: Blepharoplasty can address drooping or hooded eyelids, resulting in eyes that appear more open, alert, and expressive. By eliminating heaviness and restoring eyelid contours, this procedure enhances the natural beauty and vitality of the eyes, making them a focal point of facial aesthetics.

Reduction of Signs of Aging: The skin around the eyes can become lax and prone to sagging as we age, leading to a tired or aged appearance. Blepharoplasty effectively addresses these signs of aging by tightening loose skin and smoothing out wrinkles, helping individuals regain a youthful and vibrant look. Call us to learn more.

The results of blepharoplasty vary depending on factors such as the specific techniques used, individual anatomy, and patient goals. Generally, blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of the eyelids, resulting in a smoother, more youthful contour and a rejuvenated overall appearance.
