As we age, the skin around our eyes begins to lose its elasticity, leading to drooping upper eyelids that can make us appear tired or older than we feel. In some cases, excess skin on the upper eyelids can even impair vision. Upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a popular and effective procedure that addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns. At Faulkner Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, Dr. Brent Faulkner offers this advanced surgical solution to help patients look and feel their best.
What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery involves the careful removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. The procedure is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. Dr. Faulkner uses precise techniques to enhance the natural contours of the eyes while maintaining a natural appearance.
Improving Vision Through Eyelid Surgery
For many patients, drooping upper eyelids can interfere with daily life. When the skin sags enough to obstruct the upper field of vision, activities like reading, driving, or using a computer become difficult. By removing the excess tissue and lifting the eyelid, Dr. Faulkner helps restore a full range of vision. This not only improves function but also enhances safety and quality of life.
Enhancing Facial Appearance
In addition to its functional benefits, upper eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the face. The eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging, and sagging eyelids can create a tired or heavy look. Eyelid surgery brightens the eyes, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The results are often subtle but powerful, patients frequently report looking more awake and confident after the procedure.
