Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that corrects drooping upper lids or issues with the lower lids. It can be both aesthetic and functional—improving vision by eliminating visual field deficits and rejuvenating the eye area for a more youthful, alert look. Precision is crucial, as even minor overcorrection can lead to an unnatural appearance. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a facelift or BOTOX® to lift brows or reduce wrinkles, crow's feet, and dark circles.

The deep facial tissues are surgically released from the muscles and reattached for a subtle but significant rejuvenation. This procedure is particularly useful at removing excess skin in the jowl and neck areas.

Swelling and bruising may last 1–2 weeks. A nasal splint or packing may be used for support. Most patients resume normal activity in 1–2 weeks. Glasses must be taped off the nose, and sun exposure should be avoided for one year for optimal healing.
