Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Englewood, CO | Dr. David Kowalczyk

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Englewood

The eyes are a key focal point on the face and one of the first areas in which patients begin to show their age. Excess skin around the eyes can not only impact a person's vision; it can make a person look tired and older. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise plastic surgery procedure designed to minimize puffy eyelids and lift the lower or upper eyelid, creating a look that appears softer and rejuvenated.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty offers multiple aesthetic and functional advantages:

• Eliminating sagging, drooping skin
• Improving vision by expanding line of sight
• Achieving a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance
• Producing a more alert, awake look
• Minimizing "puffy" eyelids
• Removing under-eye bags and circles

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery is sought by both women and men who wish to correct excess, drooping skin and folds on the top eyelid or puffy skin under the bottom eyelid. Candidates typically experience functional problems that can hinder daily life, such as skin that folds over the upper eyelid or bulges under the eyes.
