Depending on your needs and preferences, we can combine blepharoplasty with other cosmetic procedures, such as a face-lift or skin resurfacing. Lower lid blepharoplasty is almost always done for cosmetic reasons, while upper lid surgery is sometimes cosmetic or functional.Įyelid surgery usually takes around two hours or less to perform and is an outpatient procedure. We typically perform blepharoplasty on the upper lids, but we can also treat your lower lids and the delicate skin beneath your eyes. In most cases, our blepharoplasty patients are over 35, but you can schedule a consultation if eyelid sagging affects your vision, or you really dislike the shape of your eyes. For example, as you age, your facial muscles weaken, and fat deposits accumulate, adding to the unsupported bulge around your eyes. Skin laxity might be the primary cause of eyelid problems, but other factors contribute to the problem. Here at Meridian Plastic Surgery in Meridian, Mississippi, our fellowship-trained surgeons, Lee Thornton, MD, FACS, and Mark Elliot, MD, FACS, offer expert blepharoplasty procedures to help you get rid of saggy eyelids for good. In extreme cases, sagging eyelids can interfere with your vision. The skin around your eyes is delicate and one of the first places to show signs of lost collagen and elasticity, such as drooping and baggy eyelids. The combination of saggy eyelids and puffy bags under your eyes contribute to a tired, aged appearance, even after a good night’s sleep.
