What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by removing or tightening excess skin. In some cases, it may also include the removal or redistribution of lower eyelid fat pockets, also known as fat transposition.

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 puffiness in the lower eyelids.

Fat Transposition

In selected cases, lower eyelid fat may be repositioned to smooth the under-eye transition.

What Can Eyelid Surgery Improve?

Blepharoplasty can help improve common signs of aging around the eyes while preserving a natural expression. The procedure can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both during the same surgical plan.

Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty

Upper and lower blepharoplasty treat different concerns. They can be performed separately or together, depending on your eyelid anatomy and desired outcome.

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 more complete refresh.

How Blepharoplasty Works

Every blepharoplasty plan is customized based on eyelid position, skin laxity, fat pockets, facial anatomy, and the patient’s goals.

Step 1: Consultation Your surgeon evaluates your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, skin quality, fat pockets, and desired result.

Step 2: Eyelid Planning The procedure may focus on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, depending on your anatomy.

Step 3: Skin and Fat Correction Excess skin may be removed, and fat pockets may be removed or repositioned when needed.

Step 4: Natural-Looking Refresh The goal is to create a smoother, more rested eyelid contour while preserving natural expression.

Fat Transposition in Lower Blepharoplasty

In some lower eyelid cases, fat pockets may be repositioned rather than simply removed. This technique, called fat transposition, can help smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

The best approach depends on whether the under-eye concern is caused by loose skin, puffiness, hollowing, fat pockets, or a combination.

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 while keeping the result natural.

Am I a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you have sagging upper eyelid skin, hooded lids, lower eyelid bags, loose skin, puffiness, or fat pockets around the eyes. A consultation is the best way to determine whether upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combined procedure is right for you.
