Common Goals of Eyelid Surgery

Patients seek blepharoplasty to address a variety of concerns, including:

• Removing loose or sagging skin that creates folds and impairs vision.
• Correcting fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids.
• Treating bags and dark circles under the eyes.
• Correcting drooping lower eyelids that reveal the white of the eye below the iris.
• Reducing fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid.

The Surgical Procedure

Blepharoplasty is a precise and delicate procedure. The steps generally include:

1. Consultation & Planning: Our surgeon will meticulously assess the condition of your eyelids, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized surgical plan.
2. Anesthesia: The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience.
3. Incision & Reshaping: For the upper eyelid, an incision is made in the natural crease. For the lower eyelid, it's typically just below the lash line. Through these incisions, the surgeon removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle.
4. Closing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, which are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.
