Upper & Lower Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure used to correct loose skin, pouching, and sagging around the eyes and for removing fatty deposits which cause puffy bags around the eyes. If you wake up in the morning feeling fine but looking like you didn't sleep well, or if you feel puffiness and droopy lids are causing you to look old, eyelid surgery may be a good choice for you.

Candidates for blepharoplasty are usually around 40 years of age or older, though some younger people seek surgery to correct inherited droopy eyes. It can be very effective if you're generally satisfied with your face and just want to look more youthful, alert and alive. The procedure can also be used to add a crease to the upper eyelid in Asian patients. The best way to find out what blepharoplasty can do for you is to arrange a consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons today.

Eyelid surgery is often performed at the same time as other surgeries, such as a facelift, browlift, or rhinoplasty. The recovery time from blepharoplasty is about 7-10 days, and the scars usually fade quickly and can easily be covered with makeup shortly after surgery. Making an appointment with your plastic surgeon at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery is the first step toward rediscovering a brighter, younger looking you.
