Blepharoplasty

Grady Core, MD

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess skin on the upper and lower lids is removed to reveal a brighter facial expression with the eyes. More than any other facial feature, your eyes reveal the most about how you feel. When your eyes are bright and alert, you appear energized, well rested, and in control. However, if you have lower eyelid puffiness, dark circles or drooping upper lids, others may assume that you are fatigued, angry or unhappy. If you believe that your eyes are making you look tired, sad, or older than you really feel, cosmetic eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, may be the right choice for you. Eyelid surgery can remove the appearance of excess fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize bags under the eyes and tighten the lower eyelid skin. The result is a more alert and rested appearance.
