Understanding Eyelid Enhancement

The delicate skin around the eyes can reveal early signs of aging. Paper-thin eyelid skin and excess fat pads can contribute to a prematurely aged appearance, which cannot be corrected with over-the-counter treatments.

What is an Eyelid Lift?

An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a corrective surgical procedure that removes excess sagging skin and fat to present a more contoured and youthful appearance. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both areas.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

• Patients with moderate to severe eyelid sagging
• Individuals with excessive undereye bags
• Those experiencing drooping eyelid conditions
• Healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations

Surgical Techniques

For upper eyelids, incisions are strategically made along the natural eye crease. Through these incisions, skin, muscle, and fat may be carefully removed to restore a more youthful appearance. Lower eyelid techniques vary based on individual anatomy, with incisions typically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically require 3-5 days of initial recovery, with most able to return to work within a week. Final results become apparent 6-12 months after the procedure, with initial improvements visible within three to six weeks after swelling subsides.
