Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery procedure designed to tighten and lift sagging eyelid skin, refresh the eye area, and create a more rested appearance.
It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on whether you want to improve hooded lids, droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, loose skin, or fat pockets.
Can treat hooded upper lids, lower eye bags, or both.
Designed to reduce tired-looking eyes without looking overdone.
Your consultation determines which approach fits your anatomy.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, tightens and lifts sagging eyelid skin. In some cases, it may also include the removal or redistribution of fat pockets, also called fat transposition, especially in the lower eyelids.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Raises hooded or droopy upper eyelids by removing excess skin and refining the eyelid contour.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Can reduce under-eye bags, tighten loose skin, and improve the lower eyelid area.
Fat Transposition
In some cases, lower eyelid fat may be repositioned instead of simply removed for a smoother result.
What Can Eyelid Surgery Improve?
Blepharoplasty can help improve common signs of aging around the eyes while maintaining a natural appearance. The procedure may be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both during the same surgical plan.
Common Concerns Treated
- Hooded upper eyelids
- Droopy eyelid skin
- Under-eye bags
- Loose lower eyelid skin
- Puffy eyelids
- Fat pockets under the eyes
- Tired or aged-looking eyes

Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower blepharoplasty treat different concerns. They can be performed separately or together, depending on your anatomy and goals.
Upper Eyelids
Best for patients with hooded, heavy, or droopy upper eyelid skin.
Lower Eyelids
Best for patients with under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose lower eyelid skin.
Combined Procedure
Upper and lower eyelid surgery may be performed at the same time for a complete refresh.
How Blepharoplasty Works
During blepharoplasty, excess skin may be removed and fat pockets may be removed or repositioned. The specific technique depends on whether the procedure is focused on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
The goal is to create a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour while preserving natural facial expression.
A More Rested, Refreshed Look
Many patients choose blepharoplasty because their eyes make them look tired, older, or less energetic than they feel. Eyelid surgery can help restore definition and brightness around the eyes.
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you have sagging upper eyelid skin, hooded lids, lower eyelid bags, loose skin, or puffiness around the eyes. A consultation is the best way to determine whether upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combined procedure is right for you.
