Lifting and Tightening Eyelids for a Younger Look

Eyelid surgery – also called blepharoplasty or eye lift – is a common surgical procedure that can be performed on your upper or lower eyelids (or both) to improve the appearance of your eyes. It can reduce puffiness in the eyelids brought on by fatty deposits, bags under the eyes, or baggy and wrinkly skin around the eyes. It can also be used to alleviate functional problems brought on by aging, such as impaired vision from sagging skin on the upper eyelid.

We offer lower and upper eyelid surgery to Tennessee patients at our cosmetic surgery centers in Nashville and Memphis, each led by a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience.

What can I expect?

In a personal consultation with our plastic surgeon, we will help you design a blepharoplasty procedure that is right for you. To correct puffy or droopy eyelids, you might opt for an upper blepharoplasty. If you’d like to have bags removed from under the eyes, a lower blepharoplasty is ideal. Many patients combine both procedures, and/or add in a non-invasive treatment like microneedling or injectable fillers.

On the day of your procedure, you will receive a local anesthetic combined with IV sedation to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure and a fast recovery afterwards. Eyelid surgery takes up to 2 hours. Your physical recovery will take just a few days. As with any facial procedure, the “social recovery” varies from patient to patient depending on swelling and bruising.

Each patient is unique. What your treatment will look like is determined by you and the plastic surgeon who you will meet with in a personal consultation.
