Upper and lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that works to improve the look of your eyes and enhance your overall appearance. Upper and lower eyelid surgery is used to treat:

• Drooping skin that creates folds, obstructs vision or changes the shape of your eyes
• Puffiness caused by fatty deposits
• Bags beneath the eyes
• Lower eyelids that droop and expose the whites of your eyes below the iris
• Wrinkles and lines around the eyes

When you visit our office, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon will examine the areas around your eyes and discuss your cosmetic goals with you. Depending on your condition and your aesthetic goals, we may recommend upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or both.

Upper eyelid surgery involves lifting the upper eyelid to remove excess skin, thus preventing drooping skin and impaired vision. Lower eyelid surgery works to remove a combination of fatty deposits and excess skin. Both procedures work to give your eyes a smoother and more youthful appearance. You may also find that the shape of your eyes has been improved and sharpened by your procedure.

We welcome you to call our office today to schedule your consultation with our experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon and find out more about upper and lower eyelid surgery.
