Droopy / Heavy / Hooded / Tired Eyes

As we age we develop excess loose skin in the upper eyelid.

This skin hides the natural fold of the upper eyelid and in severe cases can hang over the eyelashes and impede vision. Many people complain of tired, droopy, heavy looking eyes as a result of this excess skin. For most people this happens as we age, but for some people this can happen much earlier. 

Blepharoplasty recontours the eye lid and gives definition to the crease. During the procedure a strip of skin is removed along with a strip of the underlying bulging muscle. Excess fat can also be removed to further enhance the contour of the upper lid. The results give a natural youthful look with refreshed and brighter eyes.

Eyelid lift can be performed alone but is frequently combined with other procedures such as lower eye lid surgery, face lifts and fat grafting.
