Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The signs of aging are most readily visible around the eyes. Features that make you look older and more tired than you feel may even interfere with your vision. Drooping eyelids and puffy or sagging lower lids are commonly corrected by plastic surgery. In most cases, skin is tightened and fat deposits removed or redistributed to restore balance, tone and appearance. Surgery may not remove crow’s feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. Eyelid surgery can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift. Patients are instructed to follow special eye care guidelines for several months afterward.
