Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

As you age, your eyelids stretch and the muscles supporting them become weak. As a result, excess fat may accumulate above and below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under your eyes.

Eyelid Surgery

Besides making you look older, severely sagging skin around your eyes can reduce your side vision (peripheral vision), especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle and fat. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate these vision problems and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) can treat the following:

  • Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
  • Fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
