Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can help brighten your eyes and rejuvenate your entire facial appearance. It can be used to treat the upper eyelids or the lower eyelids, depending on what the individual patient’s needs are. Read our infographic below to learn about the many benefits of the plastic surgery procedure.

NO MORE UNDER-EYE BAGS

If you have puffy bags beneath your eyes regardless of how much sleep you get, you may benefit from a lower eyelid lift. Lifting the lower lid removes the fatty deposits and excess skin beneath your eyes that make you look more tired than you feel.

IMPROVED VISION

An eyelid lift may be performed to treat ptosis, a condition characterized by drooping and sagging in the upper eyelids, which can obstruct your vision. Lifting the upper lid removes excess skin and tissue to expand your line of sight.

A REFRESHED APPEARANCE

An eyelid lift enhances the shape and appearance of your eyes, which has a positive impact on your entire look. When performed in conjunction with a brow lift or facelift, an eyelid lift can produce even more dramatic results.

FEWER FINE LINES

Although not the primary goal of eyelid surgery, many patients do see an improvement in crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes after lifting both the upper and lower lids.
