Are your eyes looking tired? Does they make you feel like you look older than you should? We have the answer for you! Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as "eyelid surgery", is one of our most popular cosmetic and plastic surgeries. And because of the amazing transformation that takes place, it is becoming more and more common for our patients!

Blepharoplasty can be done on either the top or lower eyelid of either eye. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty treats the pockets of fat that give us the bags and tired looking eyes. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes the excess skin that can can be anything from a bother to an obstruction to vision.

Most of the time, a quad blepharoplasty surgery (that targets both upper and lower eyelids of both eyes) can be completed within 90 minutes to two hours. The pain is minimal, but a patients' eyes may feel uncomfortable for a few days following surgery. Overall recovery time is quick, having no signs of surgery after just a couple weeks.

Please click here for some examples of the dramatic changes that can take place after having eyelid surgery. Because the incisions are made in very inconspicuous locations, there are almost no traces are having had surgery on either the upper or lower eyelids.
