Concerned About Heavy Lids or a Tired Appearance?

Many women notice that excess upper eyelid skin, loose lower eyelid tissue, or puffiness can make them look tired, older, or less refreshed — even when they feel energetic and confident. In some cases, sagging eyelid skin can also interfere with vision or make everyday activities like reading or driving more difficult.

At Defyne Plastic Surgery, we specialize in eyelid surgery designed to complement female facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Contact us today to schedule your consultation appointment.

What to Expect

Prepare

A consultation is the first step toward achieving your individual aesthetic and anti-aging goals at Defyne. During this meeting, you will speak with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals, concerns, and questions. If a blepharoplasty is deemed the appropriate procedure for you, you may be asked to stop or adjust certain medications and stop smoking. Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions on how to best prepare for a successful eyelid procedure.

During Your Procedure

A blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both to achieve each patient’s personal goals. At Defyne, our plastic surgeons are skilled in performing a variety of eyelid surgery techniques.

Downtime icon
Downtime & Recovery

Following eyelid surgery, patients can return home for recovery. Mild bruising and swelling may occur following surgery, which can be controlled by keeping the head in an elevated position. Your surgeon will provide pain medication to help alleviate any initial discomfort. Following a blepharoplasty, patients may experience light sensitivity, blurring, double vision, and tearing, which is common and will dissipate with time. While most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 3 weeks. Our clinical team will provide you with detailed instructions regarding your blepharoplasty recovery to ensure beautiful results.

Blepharoplasty Techniques

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

A lower bleph is performed to correct building or sagging skin underneath the eye. During this procedure, your plastic surgeon will create an incision slightly below the lower eyelash or inside the lower eyelid to remove excess skin, tissue, and fat.

Double Blepharoplasty

Mid-Facelift with Blepharoplasty

In cases where the lower eyelid skin is lax, midfacial tissue often also needs a lift. This procedure combines removing the excess tissue from the lower eyelid with the redraping or midfacial tissue and fat grafting for an overall rejuvenated facial appearance.

Typically Combined With

Brow lift

face lift

facial fat grafting

ultraclear laser

lip lift

neck lift

Frequently Asked Questions

question_svgrepo.com

When is the best age to have Eyelid Surgery?

Most individuals who receive blepharoplasty are above the age of 35. However, baggy or droopy eyelids may run in your family, requiring the sooner delivery of this cosmetic treatment. Many patients who undergo eyelid surgery find that it revamps their facial look and increases their confidence.

question_svgrepo.com

Does Blepharoplasty help with crow’s feet, dark circles, and hollow eyes?

Keep in mind that the goal of eyelid surgery is to address imperfections such as puffiness, wrinkles, or drooping around the eyelids. While this procedure can help improve the appearance of fine lines in the forehead and other facial imperfections, it is not designed for that purpose. Our plastic surgeons may recommend that you combine your eyelid surgery with non-invasive procedures such as Botox or fat grafting to address other aesthetic concerns.

question_svgrepo.com

Will there be scarring?

Eyelid surgery typically does not result in visible scarring because the incision is placed at the eyelid crease. Our surgeons take extreme care and utilize advanced surgical techniques to deliver the desired outcome while minimizing the risk of scarring and other complications.

How long will eyelid surgery results last?

Upper or lower eyelid surgery rejuvenates your eyes and gives a youthful facial appearance. Keep in mind, though, that this procedure cannot stop the natural aging process. Depending on genetic influences and environmental factors, results can often last for as long as 10-15 years. We advise that you take good care of your skin and stay out of harsh sunlight without protection to maximize the outcome of your eyelid rejuvenation.
