An eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty) is often used to correct the problem of excess skin in the upper eyelid and wrinkles and bags around the lower lids, that result in a heavy, tired look.

Surgery may involve just the upper eyelid or the lower eyelid or both, depending upon your situation.

Some people have eyelid surgery to correct problems that are a result of aging, while others have inherited traits such as bags under the eyes that cause them to seek treatment at a younger age.

If the upper eyelid condition is accompanied by sagging of the eyebrows, then a forehead or brow lift may also be recommended.

Following your surgery, there will be bruising and discoloration around the eyes which will typically fade over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. As the incisions are small and made in the natural contours of the eyes, there is generally no visible scarring.

Whether or not a eyelid lift is the right procedure for you begins with a consultation with Dr. Thompson. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
