Eyelid surgery to remove excess skin and puffiness, lift heavy lids that block your view and give a fresher, natural look.
Excess eyelid skin
Can be reshaped for a fresher look
Blepharoplasty is surgery to remove or reshape excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper or lower eyelids.
With age, eyelid skin stretches and the fat around the eye can bulge. Heavy upper lids can block your upper field of vision, and lower lid bags can make you look tired.
The surgery can improve vision when the lids hang over the eyes, and it can also refresh the appearance of the eyes.
At a glance
You may benefit from blepharoplasty if you have:
Excess upper lid skin limits your upper vision.
You look tired even when you are rested.
Puffy lower lids that do not go away.
Raising your eyebrows to see better.

Heavy lids touch the lenses.
Surgery is recommended when excess skin affects your vision or comfort, or when you would like to improve the appearance of your eyelids and are in good general health.
Realistic expectations matter. We will show you what the surgery can and cannot change before you decide.
