• Upper eyelid surgery removes excess of fatty deposits that build up puffiness in the upper eyelids.
• Lower eyelid surgery removes fine wrinkles and some excess skin of the lower eyelid.
• Eyelid lift surgery helps to treat loose/sagging skin that has built folds on the upper eyelids or is disturbing the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision.

• Blepharoplasty successfully corrects the appearance of “bags” under the eyes.
• Lower eyelid surgery corrects droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye).

A personal choice, with the backing of a professional team:

Blepharoplasty could be appropriate for you if you are an adult with healthy facial tissue and muscles and
if you have realistic goals for improvement of the upper/lower eyelids and/or surrounding area:

• healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
• non-smokers

• individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for blepharoplasty
• individuals without serious eye conditions

Please tell your doctor if you have or might have these medical conditions:

• Glaucoma, dry eye or a detached retina
• Thyroid disorders such as Graves’ disease and under/overactive thyroid

• High blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or other circulatory disorders
• Diabetes
