Upper eyelid surgery

Do you look tired and aged? As we get older, the eyelid skin can become heavy and protrude over our eyelashes, which often leads to a sad and fatigued appearance.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, can essentially roll back the years. It can address sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, reduce puffiness and correct other signs of aging around the upper eyelids. The procedure uses laser technology to remove excess skin and reshape the eyelid to improve your appearance.

This surgery is the ultimate in eye rejuvenation, giving the eyes a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Our eyes tell more about us than what we say. They can often betray us, reflecting our true emotions and what we are feeling. Unfortunately, they can also betray our age.

The telltale signs of aging around the eyes

Four telltale signs of aging occur around the eyes:

1. A droopy, sagging brow that can make the eyes look smaller and squintier.
2. Clusters of tiny wrinkles and fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes, called crow’s feet.
3. Bags under the eyes, which can be due to fat pockets or to hollowing from collagen breakdown.
4. Dark circles under the eyes, which make us look fatigued and overworked.

What is blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery?

Also known as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes or tightens sagging skin around the eyes, creating a smoother, tauter appearance. Besides removing extra skin, the procedure often removes the fat pockets that make eyes look puffy.

The best candidates for eyelid surgery

The best candidates for upper eyelid lift surgery are typically men and women aged 35 and older who are noticing puffy, sagging upper eyelids. A consultation with us will tell you whether this procedure is right for you.

Additional treatments to consider

Although eyelid lift surgery is often performed on its own, a brow lift or skin resurfacing performed at the same time may improve the result. Blepharoplasty does not treat dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes; however, adding a neuromodulator treatment to eyelid lift surgery can soften or eliminate many of the lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
