Eyelid Lift
Understanding Eyelid Lift
Blepharoplasty addresses hooding of the upper lid and puffiness or hollowing of the lower lid — often the first visible sign of facial aging. The result is a refreshed, alert appearance that remains entirely true to the patient's natural eye shape.
Ideal Candidates- Upper lid skin hooding that affects the eyes' appearance or vision
- Under-eye bags or hollowing
- Fine wrinkling of the lower lid
- A tired appearance despite adequate rest
Upper and/or lower blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia with sedation, often combined with fat repositioning rather than removal.
RecoverySutures removed at 5 to 7 days; bruising typically resolves within 10 to 14 days.
Frequently Asked QuestionsWill this change my eye shape?
No — the goal is conservative skin and fat refinement that preserves your natural eye shape and expression.
Is a brow lift needed too?
Sometimes brow ptosis mimics upper lid hooding; this is assessed carefully during consultation.
How long is the incision visible?
Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease and typically fade to be imperceptible.
