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 bags under the eyes and excess or sagging skin or tissue on the upper or lower eyelids to give them a more youthful, energetic appearance. Maia Plastic Surgery offers upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) at our medical clinic in the greater Washington, DC, metro area.

Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery and Under-Eye Bag Removal

Under-eye bags are a natural part of the aging process. 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 under-eye bags and sad, tired eyes. Additionally, lifestyle and environmental factors can exacerbate the appearance of bags under the 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. Under-eye bags can have an impact on your confidence and overall appearance. Lower blepharoplasty is the most effective under-eye bag removal procedure designed to address this common concern.

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 (eyelid lift), 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 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 remove bags under your eyes and rejuvenate the eyes for a refreshed appearance.
