Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is surgery of the eyelids. Most commonly, it involves removing excess skin of upper or lower eyelids.

Upper Lid Surgery
Upper lid surgery works best on people who have excess skin hanging down toward or on the upper eyelashes. For women, eye makeup may be less visible as the excess skin is lost in the multiple creases of the lid. The upper lid blepharoplasty is performed by creating an incision in the natural eyelid crease. If there is excess fullness caused by too much fat, it can be removed from the same incision. The result is a crisp, young upper lid. For men, the procedure is done very conservatively, so surgery is not evident.

Lower Lid Surgery
The lower lid can have excess skin, fat, or both. Excess fat is usually removed through an invisible incision inside the eye. In many cases, this fat can be repositioned, perfect for patients who have a crease or bag under the eye. The fat bulge is simply moved into the valley of the crease, augmenting your cheek and getting rid of the bag. This creates a smooth contour and improves the dark lines under the eyes. Excess skin can be removed with a tiny incision just under the eyelashes. This can be performed at the same time as the fat removal/ repositioning.
