Blepharoplasty

• Eyelids (and your eyes)  are, perhaps, what other people notice first.
• Eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids is often called 'eyelift' or 'blepharoplasty'.

Before Blepharoplasty	After Blepharoplasty

• 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, may lead to brow/eyelid strain
• Excess skin can hang over the eyelid and interfere with vision
• 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.
    • The excess fat is removed and incisions are closed with fine sutures.
    • Incisions made on the outside of the lower eyelids are barely visible and fade over time
  • Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty.
    • This can be performed via an skin incision (trans-cutaneous) or via the inside of the eyelid (trans-conjunctival).
    • Lower Blepharoplasty reduces excess fat in 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.
