Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Carmel, IN | Debra C. Bergman, MD

Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Your Eye Appearance

If tired, sad, or aged eyes are impacting your appearance, blepharoplasty may be the ideal cosmetic treatment. This eyelid lift surgery can effectively smooth and tighten skin on the upper and lower eyelids, helping patients achieve a more refreshed and youthful look.

How Eyelid Surgery Improves Appearance

Tightens Drooping Skin

Sagging skin on upper and lower eyelids can create a hooded appearance and potentially obstruct vision. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin to restore a more alert and defined eye contour.

Removes and Redistributes Excess Fat

Accumulated fat in the eyelids can cause puffiness and drooping. During the procedure, surgeons can strategically remove or redistribute fat to create a smoother, more contoured eye area.

Minimizes Under Eye Concerns

By addressing sagging skin and fat pockets, blepharoplasty can soften the appearance of under-eye circles, resulting in a more rested and youthful aesthetic.
