Blepharoplasty or Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty is commonly known as eyelid surgery and is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in the United States. This procedure helps remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from around the upper and lower eyelids to correct the drooping upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, and puffiness that can make you look tired and older. Usually, eyelid surgery is done in conjunction with other surgeries, like face lifts and brow lifts.
Blepharoplasty or Eyelid surgery can help reverse the effects that aging and sun exposure have on the appearance of the eyes.

Blepharoplasty or lower eyelid surgery can help reverse the effects that aging and gravity have on the appearance of the eyes.
“The eyes are the gateway to the soul.”
The appearance of our eyes is a key way in which others perceive us.
The lower eyelids are often the culprit in conveying an incorrect tired or angry appearance to others. As we age, the tone in our lower eyelids softens and the normal fat pads push forward, causing dark bags.
Some of the Benefits of Having a Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Are:
- Remove excess bunching skin
- Reposition or reshape bulging fat pockets
- Blend the lid cheek junction commonly called the tear tough
- Restore the youthful shape
