Each year, one hundred thousand men and woman undergo blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, to improve the way they look.
As we age, excess skin forms in the eye area and the skin loses elasticity. Fatty tissue can accumulate under the skin. Your eyes will “look older” because these aging processes leave the eyes appearing tired, wrinkled, or puffy. Even with a good skincare and eyecare regimen, wrinkles, puffiness, and drooping eyelids will catch up to you.

An

eyelift

operation is the removal of excess skin, saggy muscle and sometimes fat from the eyelids. It may be performed alone or as part of a face lift procedure. During your consultation at Plastic Surgery, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the best type of procedure and incision placement to yield the best results.

Bulges in the upper and lower eyelids can also be caused by the fat that cushions the eyeball from the skull. The thin membrane that holds the fat in place weakens with age, allowing the fat to protrude into the lids.
