Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure addresses issues such as droopy eyelids, excess skin, and puffiness, which can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. At All Dermatology, we specialize in providing blepharoplasty to help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.
Blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. By tightening the skin around the eyes, blepharoplasty creates a smoother, firmer appearance, helping to restore a youthful, rejuvenated look.
Why Choose Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a popular choice for individuals seeking to correct:
-
- Droopy upper eyelids that may impair vision
- Puffiness or “bags” under the eyes
- Excess skin and fine lines around the eyes
- A tired or aged appearance
Recovery
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week following surgery. Cold compresses and prescribed medications can help manage these symptoms. Most people can return to normal activities within 10-14 days, and full recovery takes about 3-4 weeks.

If you are experiencing sagging or droopy eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, or vision impairment due to excess skin, you may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty. Our skilled dermatologists will evaluate your concerns and determine if eyelid surgery is the best option to meet your aesthetic goals.
