Blepharoplasty
Overview

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.
