Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery, technically called a blepharoplasty, is a procedure to lift, remove and reposition the sagging skin on the upper lids and/or remove the bulging tissue of the lower lids.  Both drooping upper eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes can make you look older and more tired than you feel, and, in some cases, even interfere with your vision. These kinds of problems can also happen at any age, especially in the case of “bags” under the eyes which are often a characteristic in certain families, and may occur as early as the late teens.

Correction of the sagging or bulging eyelid provides one of the most dramatic improvements possible with aesthetic facial work. In this surgery, Dr. Alford removes excess skin from the upper lid, camouflaging the incision in the upper lid skin fold. The lower eyelid incision is hidden immediately below the eyelash line or inside the pink part of the lower eyelid. In addition to the removal of excess skin, Dr. Alford may also tighten weak muscles, resulting in a smoother skin tone, and/or remove herniated fat. All of these options will be discussed with you during your consultation.

While blepharoplasty won’t completely eradicate your “crow’s feet,” , it always results in a more alert, refreshed, and brighter appearance. Since the eyes are the windows to the soul, a blepharoplasty can help you open that window to a sunnier, more youthful appearance.
