BLEPHAROPLASTY

Has anyone ever said, “you look tired” or “you must have been up all night” when in fact you feel great? Changes around the eyelids lead to an aged, tired appearance. Youthful eyes have no excess fat, smooth skin, no lid laxity, and an almond shape. Undesirable changes in the upper lids include excess skin and fat as well as droopy eyelids, which obscures your vision. Undesirable changes in the lower lids include excess fat and skin and ectropion (laxity) leading to a dry eye. Turn to blepharoplasty to help.

​

Surgical procedures to rejuvenate the eyelids involve removing excess skin and fat and tightening of lax eyelids. However, blepharoplasty will not correct crow’s feet. Additionally, the procedure doesn’t correct excess skin in the eyebrow area. Botox helps correct crow’s feet and a brow lift will correct brow droopiness. Most eyelid surgeries are performed in-office under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and recovery. Check out a former patient’s review on RealSelf now.
