Eyelid Surgery

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your needs:

Upper Eyelids:

• Removes excess or drooping skin that can create a tired look or obstruct vision.

Lower Eyelids:

• Reduces bulging fat pads and smooths wrinkles that contribute to under-eye bags and a fatigued appearance.

Whether addressing one area or both, blepharoplasty restores a youthful, refreshed look on its own or when combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures.
