Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. It can help reduce droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness that may make you look tired or older than you feel. In some cases, it can also improve vision by lifting sagging upper eyelid skin. This subtle yet transformative surgery can rejuvenate your facial appearance and boost your confidence.
Eyelid / Brow Lift
A personal plan. Clear expectations.
Planning Your Eyelid & Brow Lift
Changes around the eyes can involve eyelid skin, the brow position or both. A consultation helps identify the source of your concerns and which procedure may be appropriate.
Your Consultation
Bring your medical history, medications and questions. Discuss your goals, previous procedures and what matters most to you so the consultation can focus on suitable options and realistic expectations.
Options to Discuss
Discuss upper and lower eyelid concerns separately from a low brow or forehead lines. Ask whether eyelid surgery, a brow lift or a combined approach would address your goals, and review incision placement, risks and limitations.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Recovery depends on the extent of treatment and your individual healing. Before surgery, ask about support at home, time away from work, activity restrictions and follow-up. Follow the specific instructions provided for your care.
Questions specific to your plan: Identify the changes you hope to discuss in the upper eyelids, lower eyelids and brow. Ask which areas are included in the proposed procedure, whether more than one approach is being considered, and how to plan time away from your usual activities.

Questions to Bring to Your Consultation
How does a brow lift differ from eyelid surgery?
A brow lift addresses forehead and eyebrow position. Eyelid surgery focuses on the eyelids. Your surgeon can explain how the relationship between these areas affects treatment planning.
What should I share at my consultation?
Bring your medical history and medications, and mention previous eye procedures, eye symptoms and any vision concerns. Ask about recovery support, eye care instructions and follow-up.
