Eye Lid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

In addition to correcting visual aberrations and conditions within the eyes that affect sight, Dr. Jay C. Grochmal offers eyelid surgery to eliminate droopiness of the upper lids (ptosis), which can impair your vision. The procedure can also reduce the appearance of puffiness and undereye bags that often occurs with age, making eyelid surgery useful for cosmetic enhancement and giving the area around the eyes a more youthful, refreshed aesthetic.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

With eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), excess skin in the upper eyelids is trimmed away to get rid of droopy skin that may be affecting your vision. The remaining skin is lifted and pulled taut, giving you a less tired appearance as well as a better view. Incisions from upper eyelid surgery are made along the crease of the lids, so any residual scarring is virtually invisible.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery addresses the bags and puffiness on the eyelids. Dr. Grochmal will remove excess skin, fat, and muscle underneath the eyes and smooth out the remaining skin. This gives the area a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Incisions from lower eyelid surgery are made beneath the lower eyelashes, leaving any residual scarring well-hidden.
