What is eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery (also called “blepharoplasty” or an “eyelid lift”) rejuvenates aging eyelids by removing excess or sagging skin to improve their appearance, as well as the patient’s vision. Eyelid surgery is also effective at reducing under-eye bags and puffiness that can cause a weary or exhausted appearance.
Upper and lower eyelid surgery
There are two types of blepharoplasty: upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. These procedures can be performed by themselves, or together for enhanced results. They can also have other procedures added, such as a brow lift, facelift, or dermal fillers.
Upper eyelid surgery is performed to specifically address sagging skin that is either hiding the beauty of the eyes, impairing vision, or both. Puffy skin may also be reduced. Lower eyelid surgery is performed to specifically address under-eye bags, “pulled-down” eyelids, and pockets of fat under the eyes. During your consultation with Dr. Hazen, she will discuss whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both will be best for your aesthetic goals.
