Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty

• Eyelids (and your eyes) are, perhaps, what other people notice first.
• As we age, your eyelids (both upper and lower) may become 'droopy' or 'baggy'. The eyelid skin stretches and muscle tone weakens
• In addition, your eyebrows may also droop.
• Your droopy upper eyelids and droopy brows may give you the appearance of being sleepy, tired and aging prematurely
• In addition, this sagging, my lead to brow/eyelid strain
• Eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids is often called 'eyelift' or 'blepharoplasty'.
• This surgery can be performed on both the UPPER and on the LOWER eyelids.
  
  • Upper eyelid Blepharoplasty ("eye lift") reduces excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids. As seen in the photograph below, this excess skin can hang over the eyelid and interfere with vision

• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower Blepharoplasty reduces excess fat in the lower eyelids.

PRE/POST PHOTOS

• The surgeon makes incisions in the inside (transconjunctival approach) or outside of the lower eyelids.
• The excess fat is removed and incisions are closed with fine sutures.
• Incisions made on the inside of the eyelids are not visible. Incisions made on the outside of the lower eyelids are barely visible and fade over time.
