Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid Rejuvenation in Orange County, CA
Artful Approach, Natural Results
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can be a functional or cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the upper or lower eyelid by:
- Removing excess fat, skin, and muscle
- Repositioning tissue
- Reinforcing surrounding muscles and tendons
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid surgery is one of the top 5 cosmetic surgical procedures done today with 207,000 procedures performed in the United States in 2014 alone.
Reasons for Eyelid Surgery
- Smooth puffy eyes
- Minimize bags under the eyes
- Raise drooping, heavy eyelids and folds around the eye
- Improve vision due to sagging eyelids
- Reduce headaches from straining to keep the eyes open
How Eyelid Surgery is Performed
There are two different eyelift surgical procedures: upper eyelid (blepharoplasty) and lower eyelid (transconjunctival blepharoplasty). Depending on your needs, your Orange County eyelid surgeon may conduct one or both of these procedures.
1
The upper eyelid procedure consists of tiny incisions made along the natural folds of your skin, resulting in inconspicuous or even invisible scars. Excess skin, fatty tissue, and muscle are removed from your upper eyelid and the muscle around the eye is tightened if necessary.
2
Surgery on the lower eyelid removes fatty tissue by an incision made on the inside of the eyelid so no external scarring appears. Occasionally, with an excess of skin or muscle below the eye, a small incision is made just below the lower lash line.
