Procedures
Eyelid Surgery Upper + Lower
Blepharoplasty is utilized to correct the excess skin, soft tissue, and fat that creates a tired fatigued look for the eyes and patient. It corrects the puffiness and redundancy of both the upper and lower eyelids creating a more youthful and energetic appearance.
About the Procedure
The procedures will help eliminate loose skin, which hides the natural contour of the upper eye, and sometimes impairs vision. It also can eliminate fatty deposits resulting in puffiness or bags in the upper or lower eyelids. We also have the ability to suspend the lower lids to tighten them and eliminate white sclera showing beneath the iris. The procedure is routinely done as an out patient at BASC and can be done under local or local with sedation.
