Blepharoplasty Surgery
Restore a More Refreshed Appearance and Improve Your Vision
As we age, the skin around the eyes can lose elasticity, causing the upper eyelids to droop and the lower eyelids to appear puffy or tired. Excess eyelid skin may not only affect your appearance but can also interfere with your peripheral vision and daily activities.
At Eye Care Specialists, our oculoplastic specialists provide blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, for patients throughout Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin. This procedure removes excess skin and tissue from the upper or lower eyelids to improve vision, reduce eyelid heaviness, and create a more refreshed appearance.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery can improve vision when sagging skin obstructs your visual field, while lower eyelid surgery can reduce under-eye bags and puffiness.
Common Reasons for Eyelid Surgery
You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you experience:
-
Drooping or heavy upper eyelids
-
Excess skin affecting your peripheral vision
-
A tired or aged appearance
-
Puffiness or bags under the eyes
-
Eye strain from lifting your eyebrows to see clearly
