Is Blepharoplasty Right for Me?

Excess skin and fatty tissue around the eyes can sag with age, creating a tired and listless appearance. A lifetime of exposure to sun or hereditary factors can also contribute to this condition as skin loses its elasticity.

During your consultation, we’ll review things like your medical history and your physical characteristics, and work with you to get a feel for the cosmetic goals that brought you through our doors to begin with. This will help us talk you through your options and help you decide on the procedure that will bring you in line with your ideal results.

When Should You Consider Eyelid Surgery?

Aging affects both the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid. In some cases, the upper eyelid is affected due to the droopiness of the forehead and eyebrows and, as such, needs to be addressed utilizing a forehead or brow lift.

Eyelid surgery will not elevate a droopy eyebrow, nor will it address crow's feet.

When the issue is related to the eyelid itself, both the upper and lower eyelids can be improved with surgical procedures. In fact, eyelid surgery, called a blepharoplasty, is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States. If you’re searching for a surgeon that does Blephroplasty in Fort Myers or Naples FL, or the nearby areas, reach out and set up your consultation.

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

With the upper eyelids, a combination of excess skin and fat is removed to restore a toned, more refreshed look. With the lower eyelids, primarily fat and a small amount of excess skin are removed to eliminate “bags” under the eyes.

In some cases, these surgical procedures are combined with nonsurgical procedures such as professional skin care or perhaps a chemical peel or skin resurfacing in order to refine the improvement further or to improve the textural changes of the skin or dark circles under the eyes.
