Eyelifts

by Advanced Facial Plastics Division

Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty removes the excess skin, fat, and/or muscle from both upper and/or lower eyelids. Excess skin creates a heavy, tired look. The excess skin of the upper eyelid will sometimes rest on eyelashes making application of eye makeup difficult. The bulges or puffiness are caused by fat around the eyes pushing through a thin membrane of the orbit similar to a hernia in the abdomen. Both upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty can help correct these problems and give you a more rejuvenated appearance.

Preoperative and Postoperative Considerations

Function

The eyelids are instrumental in protecting the cornea. Involuntary blinking helps to wipe a tear film across the cornea. Excess upper eyelid skin can impede peripheral vision. It is important for us to know if you have any problems with your eyes, such as dry eyes or vision problems.
