Blepharoplasty
 |
If you’re constantly being asked if you are tired, because your eyes look “heavy”, you don’t like the way the person in the mirror is looking back at you or you find that you are raising your eyebrows and forehead to see you might want to consider eyelid surgery, also referred to as an eyelift. |
This procedure, called blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. Our board certified surgeons remove excess skin through small incisions, typically hidden in your natural eyelid creases, utilizing local anesthesia in our surgery room. While it is primarily a cosmetic procedure, an eyelift may also be an effective method for improving sight in older patients whose sagging upper eyelids obstruct their vision. |
