Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that refreshes the appearance of your upper face by reducing bagginess from lower eyelids and excess skin from the upper eyelids. This procedure is often used to modify the area of the eyes for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons. An eyelid lift can also improve sight in older people when their upper eyelids sag and cause problems with their vision.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Restores a youthful appearance to eyelids
• Eliminates wrinkles and lines under the eyes
• Removes dark circles and under eye bags
• Corrects droopy eyebrows
• Removes excess fat and skin, redistributes fat and tightens weak ligaments

Types of Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery

This procedure refreshes the upper eyelids, addressing thinning and crepiness of the skin and creating a smooth lid without excess wrinkling or "hooded" skin.

Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery

The lower eyelid lift procedure refreshes lower eyelids, eliminates under-eye bags, fills in dark circles, reduces wrinkling, and smooths the junction from the lower eyelid to the cheek.
