Have you noticed your eyes looking tired or heavy, even when you’re well-rested? At Primera Plastic Surgery, I specialize in blepharoplasty—also known as eyelid surgery—to help people like you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, I have extensive experience performing this procedure with precision and artistry. Whether you’re concerned about drooping upper eyelids, under eye bags, or fine lines, this surgery can dramatically affect how you look and feel. Below, I share some of my patients’ blepharoplasty before and after transformations so you can get an idea of the possibilities.
How Eyelid Surgery Enhances Your Appearance
Blepharoplasty restores a youthful, alert look by trimming excess skin and removing or repositioning surplus fat in the upper or lower eyelids. Depending on your concerns, I may recommend:
- Upper blepharoplasty to lift sagging skin that creates a hooded, tired appearance or interferes with your field of vision.
- Lower blepharoplasty to smooth puffiness under the eyes and diminish the look of persistent bags, helping you appear more rested and refreshed.
- Comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation by combining upper and lower blepharoplasty for a balanced, natural transformation.
Performed on an outpatient basis, this procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours. While mild swelling and bruising are common in the first few days, most patients recover quickly and begin to see results as the healing process progresses. My approach prioritizes subtle, natural enhancement, ensuring your eyes look refreshed without appearing “done.”
See the Transformation: Before and After Blepharoplasty
Many patients are amazed at the difference this procedure makes. Here are a few examples of how blepharoplasty has helped my patients look more alert, youthful, and refreshed:
Upper Blepharoplasty for a Brighter, Masculine Look
This 67-year-old Orlando man had significant sun damage, causing his upper eyelids to droop. I performed an upper blepharoplasty to lift the eyelids, creating a more open, youthful appearance while maintaining natural, masculine results. After his surgery, he told our Primera team, “[I’m] very pleased with my results. It was easier than I thought.”
Lower Blepharoplasty for a More Youthful Appearance
This 84-year-old woman felt her drooping lower eyelids made her look constantly tired. I performed a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to rejuvenate her appearance. The procedure helped her achieve a more youthful and alert look, proving that age is never a barrier to feeling confident.
Rejuvenating Tired Lower Eyelids
This man was concerned that his puffy lower eyelids made him look less energetic than he felt. I performed a lower blepharoplasty to smooth the under eye area, helping him achieve a more youthful and revitalized appearance. Once he recovered from his surgery, we enhanced his results with Sculptra® injections to give his cheeks more definition and smooth the area around his mouth.
Stitch-Free Lower Blepharoplasty for a Younger Patient
This 35-year-old woman wanted to address swelling and a fatigued look under her eyes. I performed a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, a stitch-free technique commonly used with younger patients. Her eyes now appear refreshed and more youthful.
Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty for a Comprehensive Refresh
This 70-year-old gentleman was concerned about puffiness and bags beneath his eyes. I performed an upper and lower blepharoplasty to give him a rejuvenated look. After healing, we added volume to his tear troughs using Restylane® dermal filler. He looks years younger, with brighter, smoother, and more defined eyes.
Upper Blepharoplasty for a More Open Look
This 54-year-old woman from Orlando felt that her heavy upper eyelids made her look older. I performed an upper blepharoplasty, and within a week, she healed beautifully. Her eyes now appear more open, and she is thrilled with her refreshed, natural-looking results.
