Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, rejuvenates the area around your eyes by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle, creating a more youthful and alert appearance. For the upper eyelids, blepharoplasty can create a brighter appearance by removing excess drooping skin. For the lower eyelids, Dr. Ives performs lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning to release the dark circles under your eyes and use your own fat to create a smooth transition to the cheek.
Blepharoplasty is a delicate procedure often performed on an outpatient basis. The surgeon makes precise cuts, typically along the natural creases of the eyelid, to minimize visible scarring. Once the excess tissue is carefully trimmed or repositioned, the skin is closed with fine stitches that are gently removed one week later. The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and desired outcome.
