EYELID SURGERY
WHAT IS EYELID SURGERY OR AN UPPER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY?
The upper eyelids are often among the first parts of the face to show age. Patients often report that sagging upper eyelids make them look sad, tired, or angry. Thankfully, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is among the easiest facial cosmetic procedures to undergo, and have very high satisfaction rates. The vast majority of our upper blepharoplasty patients have their procedures done in our in-office AAAHC-accredited operating suite under local anesthesia, and are back to work within a week.

In addition, some may require removal of excess fat, replacement of missing fat, or subtle repositioning of the eyebrows. Dr. Valencia will take a few moments to discuss these options with you to make sure they meet your personal aesthetic goals.
