Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Refreshing tired-looking eyes by addressing excess eyelid skin
Overview
Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat around the upper and/or lower eyelids, softening a tired or heavy-lidded appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, upper eyelid surgery can also improve vision when excess skin droops low enough to obstruct the visual field.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be visible scarring?
Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease or just below the lash line, so resulting scars are typically very well concealed.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, though the natural ageing process continues over subsequent decades.
Can this be combined with a brow lift?
Yes, in patients where the eyebrow position is also contributing to the appearance of heavy upper eyelids.
