If you are looking for a skilled blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) surgeon in the Bethesda area, turn to Dr. Maia at Maia Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, MD. The upper and lower eyelids can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of the eyes and face. If the eyelids sag or droop, it can cause the eyes to look tired and the individual may also appear older. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, can remove excess or sagging skin or tissue on the upper or lower eyelids to give them a more youthful, energetic appearance. Maia Plastic Surgery offers blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid lift) at our medical clinic in the Bethesda, MD, area.

Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery

The lower eyelid can be prone to stretching and sagging with age. While genetics have a part to play in the firmness of the lower eyelid, aging can allow the thin skin to become less elastic and droop. This can result in eye bags and sad, tired eyes. A lower blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, can remove excess skin to smooth away bags under the eyes and firm up the lower eyelid. This can rejuvenate the eyes for a more youthful and attractive look.

Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery

The upper eyelid skin is delicate and prone to stretching and drooping. When the upper eyelid is sagging, it can create a droopy, hooded eye that looks tired and inattentive. With an upper blepharoplasty, the excess skin and fat is removed, and the eyelid is tightened. This can open up the eye, creating a more energetic and youthful appearance. An upper eyelid lift is often paired with a brow lift to revitalize the entire upper face.

Upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift) removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids and restores a youthful appearance. The incision is made in the natural crease of the upper lid and is inconspicuous. The scar is hidden and will fade over time. The surgery can be performed in the office under local anesthesia and takes approximately one hour.

If the skin and tissue on your upper or lower eyes sags or droops, a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) procedure can rejuvenate the eyes for a refreshed appearance.
