If you constantly hear that you look tired—even when you’re well-rested—your eyes might be sending the wrong message. Sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness are common concerns that can give the face a fatigued, aged appearance. Fortunately, eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a highly effective solution to help you look more refreshed and alert.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or reposition excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. For the upper eyelids, this can mean lifting drooping skin that may even obstruct your vision. On the lower eyelids, it typically involves smoothing out puffiness and eliminating shadow-casting bags that contribute to a tired look.
What makes blepharoplasty particularly appealing is that it can provide natural-looking, long-lasting results with very little downtime. Most patients find that after healing, their eyes appear brighter, more youthful, and well-rested—without looking “overdone.”
It is important to note that blepharoplasty does not address issues such as dark circles caused by pigmentation or fine lines caused by sun damage. However, it can be combined with non-surgical treatments including laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, or chemical peels to achieve more comprehensive results.
