What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, an eyelid lift or eyelid surgery, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and possibly fat and tightening the remaining skin around the eyes. Our blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals. At Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute, our team, led by Edward H. Davidson, MD, FACS, FAAP, delivers exceptional results tailored to each patient’s needs.

Upper eyelid surgery

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, is a specialized procedure to address sagging, puffiness, or excess skin on the upper eyelids. The procedure involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids, allowing for the removal or repositioning of fat, tightening of muscles, and removal of excess skin. Our meticulous approach ensures minimal scarring and a smoother recovery process.

Lower eyelid surgery

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin contributing to a tired appearance. This procedure may involve removing or redistributing excess fat and skin from the lower eyelid area. The incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

  • Rejuvenated look: Reduces sagging and puffiness, creating a more alert appearance.
  • Improved vision: For some patients, removing excess skin allows for peripheral vision.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, with noticeable results within a few weeks.
  • Reduced under-eye bags: This creates a smoother, more youthful under-eye area.
  • Brighter appearance: Helps eliminate shadows and puffiness for a brighter look.
  • Tailored to your unique condition: The procedure is customized based on the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
