Blepharoplasty

A surgical technique designed to address structural and age-related changes in the eyelids and periorbital area.

The periorbital area surrounding the eyes is among the first to show visible signs of aging. Blepharoplasty is a foundational treatment for refreshing a tired appearance.

Through discreet incisions placed within the natural eyelid creases or along the inner lid tissue, excess skin and fat bags are trimmed, repositioned, or meticulously contoured for precise, long-lasting results.

Periorbitary rejuvenation surgery typically includes a blepharoplasty, often accompanied by complementary procedures such as autologous fat grafting, brow lifting, and lasers or chemical peels to enhance skin quality.

Candidates for Clinical Evaluation

You may be a candidate for evaluation if you present with:

  • Excess skin hanging over the upper or lower eyelids.
  • Visible under-eye fat bags or puffiness.
  • A desire to refresh a tired, heavy, or aged eye appearance.
  • A stable body weight and realistic surgical expectations.

Scope of Under-Eye Bag and Drooping Eyelid Surgery

  • Corrects excess skin redundancy and eyelid tissue laxity.
  • Reduces the prominence of bulging eyelid fat bags.
  • Smooths and refines the periorbital contour.
