Eyelid Lift Blepharoplasty
The signs of aging are often first seen around the eyes. Excess skin forms on the upper eyelids and can hang over the eyelashes, while the crease of the eyelid disappears and sometimes even impairs vision. On the lower eyelids, puffiness and bags beneath the eyes, which can occur at even very young ages, produce a tired and worn appearance. These issues can be addressed with a procedure known as blepharoplasty, or eyelid rejuvenation. While blepharoplasty may be performed on its own, it’s often combined with an endoscopic forehead lift, facelift or skin resurfacing procedure in order to obtain the best results.
Upper Blepharoplasty Upper eyelid surgery involves the careful removal of excess skin, muscle and fat in order to sculpt and rejuvenate the upper eyelids. Very natural results can be achieved as the incision is hidden within the eyelid crease and nearly invisible. In some cases where a sagging brow is the cause of excess upper eyelid skin, an endoscopic forehead or brow lift may need to be performed instead of or in conjunction with upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery involves the removal or repositioning of the fatty tissues responsible for under-eye bags. In most cases, a completely hidden, small incision is made inside of the lower eyelid, though the incision is sometimes made under the eyelashes in cases where there is a great deal of excess skin or muscle to address. For increased tightening of the lower eyelid skin, lower blepharoplasty may be performed with laser resurfacing.
