Eyelid Lift
Do your eyes look more tired than you feel?
If sagging eyelids or under-eye puffiness are starting to affect how you look—or how you see—eyelid surgery may be a gentle and effective solution. Also known as blepharoplasty, this procedure helps refresh the eye area by removing excess skin and fat, giving you a more awake, rested appearance.
What Eyelid Surgery Can Help With
- Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Hollows beneath the eyes
In some cases, sagging eyelids can also interfere with your vision. Blepharoplasty can improve both how you look and how well you see. While eyelid surgery offers beautiful results, it’s important to know that it won’t correct:
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes
- Sagging eyebrows
If those are also concerns, we’ll talk with you about complementary options that can help you achieve your overall goals.
Ideal Candidates
Blepharoplasty is a great option if you:
- Have drooping upper eyelids that interfere with your vision or make you look tired
- Struggle with puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Are in overall good health and a non-smoker
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
This procedure is commonly performed on adults over the age of 40, but younger individuals with genetic eyelid concerns may also be excellent candidates.
What to Expect
Consultation: We’ll listen to your concerns, review your medical history, and create a surgical plan that’s tailored just for you.
Procedure Duration: Most surgeries take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with optional sedation for your comfort
Downtime: Most people return to light activities within 3 to 5 days
After Your Procedure
- You’ll go home the same day
- Expect some mild swelling and tenderness—cold compresses can help
- A nurse will check in with you the following day
- A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled for the end of the first week
- Results begin to show soon after surgery, but final healing may take a few months as swelling gradually subsides
We’ll guide you through every step of the process—from preparation to recovery—so you feel supported, confident, and cared for.
