COSMETIC SURGERY

​

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty is a surgery where an incision is made in the natural eyelid crease and excess skin and sometimes fat is removed from the upper eyelid area. Because the eyes are often the first feature people notice, it is an important aspect of our overall appearance. Therefore, a blepharoplasty may provide a more youthful and alert appearance.

​

Surgery can be performed in several ways depending on the severity of the droopy brow (or brow ptosis).
