Eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) reduces the effects of age on the eyelids.
Upper eyelid surgery removes the excess subcutaneous fat and loose skin from the eyelid area that causes the eyelid to droop and significantly age the face.
Lower eyelid surgery is very effective in reducing puffiness or ’bags’ under the eyes. During the surgery, the doctor will remove excess fatty deposits and skin underneath the eye. The result is a more youthful, invigorated appearance.
Blepharoplastic surgery is commonly performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as facelifting and forehead lifting to further enhance results.
Blepharoplastic procedures can be performed on both eyelids, or just the upper or lower eyelid.
This surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, and is normally completed in 15 minutes for each eyelid.
