About Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) treats hooded lids and under-eye bags by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat. Also known as an eyelid lift, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is the most commonly requested approach. Treatment is tailored to your anatomy and goals for a brighter, more rested look.
