Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery for a more open, rested gaze

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid that causes hooding and a tired, heavy appearance. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags — either removing or redistributing fat — and tightens loose lower lid skin. Both are among the highest-satisfaction cosmetic surgeries performed, with immediate, dramatic results and relatively short recovery (7–10 days). Upper blepharoplasty in particular has a strong functional component — severely hooded lids impair vision — which can make it eligible for insurance coverage. Results last 10–15 years.
