How Does an Eyelid Lift Work?

An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, can be done on the upper lid, the lower lid, or both. The aim of a blepharoplasty is to restore the natural arch and open your eyes by removing fatty tissue and excess skin that comes with age. A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Karen Leong will carefully analyze the shape and position of your eyelid in relation to your other features to determine the right amount of correction. It’s a highly specialized approach that uses just as much artistry as science. When done well, you look refreshed, alert, and youthful.

The procedure works by creating a small incision in the creases of your eye for maximum camouflage after healing. Excess skin is carefully removed, and if you have areas of fatty tissue, this will also be removed. Once Dr. Leong is pleased with the outcome, the incision is closed. In some cases with a lower eyelid lift, tightening the underlying muscles also contribute to a smoother, more youthful result.

Am I a Good Candidate for an Eyelid Lift?

Changes to the shape and appearance of the eyes happen to men and women alike, so anyone concerned about drooping skin, extra folds in the upper eyelid, or puffiness or bloating beneath the lower lid may be a candidate for blepharoplasty. Your specific medical history will be considered during your comprehensive consultation at ZENA Medical, as well as your unique facial anatomy and the way the procedure will enhance your appearance.
