Upper & Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. David C. Yao, MD

What is Blepharoplasty?

A person's eyes are a beautiful facial feature that deserves visibility. Excess skin around the eyes can create an unflattering appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeons at Forma Plastic Surgery use eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin and lift the lower or upper eyelid, creating a softer look.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

A custom-tailored blepharoplasty procedure offers multiple functional and aesthetic advantages:

• Improving vision by expanding line of sight
• Reducing sagging eyelid skin
• Creating a more alert and youthful look
• Achieving a more pleasing overall eye aesthetic
• Removing under-eye bags
• Diminishing dark circles
• Enhancing comfort

Are You a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Upper or lower blepharoplasty is sought by both women and men. Ideal candidates typically experience excess, hanging skin on upper eyelids or bloated skin under the bottom eyelid. These conditions can cause functional and vision difficulties that impact everyday life.

Surgical Approach

Depending on individual needs, procedures may focus on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or a combination. Each approach targets specific aesthetic and functional concerns:

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Removes droopy skin over the eye, creating a more awakened appearance. An incision is typically made along the natural eyelid crease to optimize healing and conceal scarring.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Reduces bulging skin underneath the lower lid. Incisions are strategically placed below the lash line or within the eyelid to remove excess skin and reposition fat deposits.
