Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Renton, WA

Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns with the eyelids. This procedure can dramatically transform the appearance of the eye area by removing excess skin, fat, and tissue that contribute to a tired or aged look.

Key Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Rejuvenate facial appearance
• Increase field of vision
• Treat droopy or puffy eyelids
• Remove excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids

Types of Blepharoplasty Procedures

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess tissue from the upper eyelid. This procedure can clear obstructed vision and create a more open, youthful eye appearance. Patients often report looking more alert and refreshed after surgery.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses sagging skin and puffiness beneath the eyes. As skin loses elasticity with age, the lower eyelids can develop wrinkles and a heavy appearance. This procedure can smooth and tighten the under-eye area.
