As an oculoplastic surgeon, I specialize in procedures that enhance both the function and appearance of the eyelids. Many patients come to me with concerns about drooping eyelids, puffiness, or heavy brows that make them look tired or even interfere with their vision. Depending on your needs, we can address these concerns with surgical and non-surgical options. Today I wanted to focus on surgical solutions.
Which Eye Lid Procedure is Right For You?
If you’re unsure which procedure is right for you, I encourage you to take our self-test or schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll determine the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Ptosis Repair: Restoring Eyelid Function and Vision
- Best for: Eyelids that sag due to weakened muscles
- Main Benefit: Improves vision and creates a more awake, refreshed appearance
- What Happens? The levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid, is tightened to restore proper function.
Patients with ptosis often compensate by raising their eyebrows or tilting their heads to see better. If you find yourself doing this, ptosis repair may be the right solution to restore your field of vision and relieve eye strain.
Blepharoplasty: Removing Excess Skin for a More Youthful Look
- Best for: Puffy or sagging eyelids that impact vision or create a tired appearance
- Main Benefit: Enhances the eyelids by reducing excess skin and fat, improving both aesthetics and peripheral vision
- What Happens? I carefully remove extra skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, sculpting a more youthful, refreshed look.
Blepharoplasty is one of the most effective procedures for eyelid rejuvenation. If drooping eyelids are affecting your confidence or impairing your sight, this procedure can provide long-lasting results.
Brow Lift: Lifting Heavy Brows for a Brighter Expression
- Best for: Low or heavy brows that contribute to a tired or angry look
- Main Benefit: Raises the eyebrows to open the eyes and smooth forehead wrinkles
- What Happens? The brow is gently lifted to a more natural position, restoring a youthful and well-rested appearance.
Many patients think their eyelids are the problem when, in reality, their brows are weighing down their upper lids. A brow lift can be the perfect solution for those experiencing forehead-related sagging.
