Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can rejuvenate the area surrounding the eye and may help solve functional problems if your eyelids are impairing your vision.

Who is a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Good candidates for eyelid surgery include:

• Healthy individuals with no medical conditions that can impair healing

• Patients with an adequate weight

• Nonsmokers/nonvapers

• Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals

• Individuals without serious eye conditions

Remember that the eyelids are part of the face. The appearance of a drooping upper lid may also be due to the laxity of the forehead skin and saggy eyebrow. Sometimes stretching out of the upper eyelid muscle may cause a drooping eyelid. This is called eyelid ptosis and requires a different surgical treatment.
