Our eyes often reveal the first signs of aging, with sagging skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags making us look older or more tired than we feel. Upper and lower eyelid surgeries are transformative procedures designed to refresh and rejuvenate the eye area. But what causes these changes, and how can surgery help?

Why Your Eyes May Look Tired

The delicate skin around the eyes is among the first areas to show signs of aging. Over time, natural collagen loss can lead to drooping upper eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags.

What Does Eyelid Surgery Involve?

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids. This can eliminate sagging skin, brighten the eyes, and create a smoother contour.

Why People Choose Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is highly effective in treating excess skin, under-eye bags, and wrinkles around the eyes. Many choose this procedure to correct droopy upper eyelids that obstruct vision.

In addition to improving functionality, eyelid surgery is an excellent option for restoring a vibrant and rested appearance. Whether caused by aging or genetics, this rejuvenation treatment helps eliminate the “tired eyes” look, leaving you with a brighter, more alert expression and renewed confidence.

Top Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Better Vision and Everyday Function

The benefits of blepharoplasty go beyond aesthetics. Removing sagging skin from the upper eyelids can improve peripheral vision, making everyday tasks like reading and driving easier.

A Revitalized and Energized Look

Smoother, tighter skin around the eyes contributes to a vibrant, refreshed appearance. Aside from a younger look, this improvement often positively impacts self-esteem and how others perceive you.

Long-Lasting Results

One of the most rewarding aspects of eyelid surgery is its longevity. The results provide years of improved function and beauty, and patients enjoy a more youthful appearance well into the future.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Eyelid surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. During your consultation, Dr. Layliev will discuss your goals, evaluate your eye area, and recommend a personalized approach.

The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising during recovery, which subsides within one to two weeks.

To further enhance results, eyelid surgery can be combined with complementary treatments such as facelifts, brow lifts, or laser resurfacing. These options address related concerns like sagging cheeks, drooping brows, or uneven skin texture. During your consultation, Dr. Layliev can recommend a comprehensive plan tailored to your goals.
