Blepharoplasty (Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery)

Cosmetic eyelid surgery, known as Blepharoplasty, is surgery to repair droopy eyelids. It can dramatically enhance your appearance and freshen-up a tired look.

What causes droopy eyelids?

In the eye socket, the eye is surrounded and cushioned by fat. As you age, the tissues holding the fat in place can weaken. As a result, excess fat may gather above and below your eyelids, causing the upper eyelids to appear puffy and the lower lids baggy. Additionally, the overlying eyelid skin and muscles supporting them can lose their tone resulting in a droopy or tired appearance.

Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty involves trimming the excess skin and muscle and repositioning the protruding fat as needed to produce an aesthetically pleasing and natural result. As each patient is different, surgery is uniquely tailored to provide optimal results.
