Blepharoplasty - "Droopy" Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty - (Eyelid Surgery)

Even with a good night's sleep, loose skin your over eyes or excess fatty tissue under your eyes can make you look tired, sad or older than you really are. Fatty deposits cause the upper lids to sag while under the eye the tissue can bulge forward and become discolored. In severe cases, vision can become partially blocked.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is generally done using local anesthetic. You may be given a mild sedative to help you relax. The length of the procedure depends on the amount of tissue being removed and up to several hours.

Most patients experience a marked improvement in the appearance of their eyes after blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). In addition to improving patients' vision, most patients report feeling more alert and energetic.
