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.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a consultation with Dr. Maia, not only was her expertise evident, her compassion shown through as she walked us through the process. Thankfully, I felt very comfortable trusting her as I underwent reconstruction surgery. I am very happy with the results and highly respect and recommend Dr. Maia.

Dr Maia truly loves what she does. She is invested in making you the version of yourself you want to be. She listens attentively to what you want and makes relevant suggestions. She did not try to introduce anything unnecessary into my treatment plan. The results I achieved during my first treatment keeps me coming back. Her staff is excellent and works to accommodate your schedule. I have recommended Dr. Maia several times and each time I get the same positive feedback.

Selecting a surgeon: After having two children and weight fluctuations over the years I was left with complete loss of volume in my breasts. I had four consultations with other surgeons but after comparing their photos to Dr Maia’s and meeting her in person, I knew she was my doctor. We talked about my lifestyle - being a mom and a professional, I didn’t want to be too big, but I’m curvy so I didn’t want to go too small for my frame either. She let me try on sizes and once I selected she agreed it was a good fit for my frame. Post op recovery: I was a smoker and had quit prior to surgery but she was very honest and adamant in telling me how important it was that I did not smoke. (I honestly needed the lecture and the transparency about what could happen if I did start smoking before surgery and post-op.) Because I was formerly a pretty heavy smoker, it did cause some issues after surgery with wound closing and she was SO diligent and on top of it seeing me once and week and squeezing me in for appointments between surgeries and patients. She prescribed different things to address the would closure issues before they really became a problem. Being able to have text message access to the office was great when I had questions and she even accommodated my schedule when I couldn’t be seen in person to send progress photos so that she could check on me. 3 months post op: I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and am so glad I waited to find the right doctor. She’s an artist! They look natural, fit my body shape and they haven’t even fully “dropped and fluffed” yet. Would highly recommend… comparing her patient photos to other surgeons will end your search. I feel so much better in my body thanks to Dr Maia.

This is my second time at Dr. Maia’s office and I am so pleased with my experience here. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Maia is the best Dr in the DMV area, she knows exactly what she is doing and you will be happy with the results! I am so glad I found her! I recommend anyone who’s looking for a very personable doctor to come and see her! Thank you Dr. Maia & staff!
