Understanding Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Your Eye Appearance

The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first area to reveal signs of aging and environmental exposure. Sagging skin, fine lines, puffy eyelids, and dark circles can undermine your entire appearance, making you look perpetually tired and older than you feel.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly precise surgical procedure designed to correct visible signs of aging and environmental damage on the lower and/or upper eyelids. When performed by an acclaimed double board-certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Michael Godin, this procedure can dramatically restore your eyes' youthful vitality.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Create a well-rested, more alert appearance
• Correct asymmetry and structural deformities
• Reduce upper and lower eyelid sagging (ptosis)
• Minimize upper eyelid puffiness
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Correct dark circles and under-eye bags
• Address scleral show (excessive eye white exposure)

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Upper Eyelid Lift

Corrects upper eyelid ptosis by removing excess skin, tightening musculature, and repositioning fatty tissue to restore a more youthful eye contour.

Lower Eyelid Lift

Minimizes lower eyelid sagging, puffiness, and dark circles through precise skin removal and strategic fatty tissue repositioning via an incision along the lower lash line.

Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery

An advanced technique involving fatty tissue removal through an incision inside the lower eyelid, offering minimal external scarring.

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty procedures can be performed individually or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques like facelifts or brow lifts to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
