If you’re experiencing sagging skin, puffiness, and undereye bags that make you look tired or older than you feel, eyelid surgery can be a solution. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a common procedure that refreshes and rejuvenates the eye area.
Choosing upper or lower (or both) eyelid surgeries depends on your unique concerns and aesthetic goals. Here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center, we offer all these forms of eyelid surgery and can help you determine which option is best for you.
Consider the following factors to help you decide which eyelid surgery is right for you.
Over time, the skin on your upper eyelids can lose elasticity, leading to drooping or hooded lids. In some cases, this sagging can even obstruct your vision. During upper blepharoplasty, our surgeon, Yaqub Baraki, MD, removes excess skin and fat while tightening the remaining tissue to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Candidates for upper eyelid surgery have:
The procedure is typically quick, with minimal downtime. You can expect to experience mild swelling and bruising for about a week before enjoying your refreshed look.
The lower eyelids often develop puffiness, dark circles, or a hollow appearance due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors. During lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Baraki removes or redistributes fat and tightens the skin to smooth out undereye bags and reduce shadows. The surgery leaves you looking more rested and rejuvenated.
You may benefit from lower eyelid surgery if you have:
Right after surgery, expect to experience mild swelling and bruising that fade within one to two weeks. The result is a refreshed, more youthful undereye area.
If you’re struggling with sagging upper lids and undereye bags, combining upper and lower blepharoplasty can provide a completely rejuvenated look. When you choose this option, you get a comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation in one procedure.
The benefits of combining both surgeries include:
During a consultation, we assess your eye structure and discuss the best approach for achieving your desired look.
