Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and, when needed, fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, the eyelid skin can stretch and sag, sometimes to the point of drooping into the field of vision. For many patients, this procedure is performed to restore functional, unobstructed peripheral vision rather than for cosmetic reasons alone.

Beyond improving vision, blepharoplasty often gives the eyes a more open, refreshed, and alert appearance by reducing heaviness or hooding around the eyelids. Depending on your anatomy and goals, the procedure may be considered medically necessary and eligible for insurance coverage, which we can help you determine during your consultation.

Recovery is generally straightforward, with most swelling and bruising resolving within one to two weeks. We'll walk you through what to expect before, during, and after surgery so you feel prepared every step of the way.
