Why should I have an eyelid lift?

• To reduce puffy under-eye bags (fat deposits under the eye area) that leave you appearing tired or older than you really are.
• To improve vision that is being impacted by droopy upper eyelids.
• To remove excess skin and fine wrinkles around the lower eyelid for a younger, refreshed eye appearance.
• To cosmetically reshape the eye area to create a natural crease in the eyelid that appears when the eyes are open. That is mostly favored by Asian patients and is known as “Double Eyelid Surgery”.

Refreshed, more youthful eye appearance

• Your eyes are a focal part of your face and are often the first area to reveal aging. Eyelid Surgery can often help the entire face to look more refreshed or youthful.
• Eyelid Surgery can also minimize a "tired" appearance by removing saggy skin that appears to "weigh down" your upper eyelids or which covers part of your iris.

No more under-eye bags

• Baggy, puffy skin below your eyes can give you a tired, fatigued appearance.
• Reducing sagging skin and reducing or repositioning excess fat under your eyes can reveal a more refreshed, rejuvenated eye area, benefiting your facial appearance.

Fewer visible fine lines

• Reducing wrinkles and lines around the eye area is not a primary aim of eyelid surgery and will not completely eliminate wrinkles or lines around your eye area.
• However, some patients do notice an improvement in these early telltale signs of aging.
• Lifting or reducing both the upper and lower eyelids can often help reduce the visibility of lines around the eye area for selected patients. If wrinkles around your eyes or brow area are a primary area of concern, additional non-surgical treatments such as cosmetic injections or laser treatments may be options to consider.

Improved Vision

• Sagging eyelids or low-hanging brows can not only be a cosmetic concern but can sometimes cover part of your eyes and encumber your vision.
• By removing these deposits and subtly lifting the upper lid, your line of sight may be expanded.
