Refresh Your Look

Blepharoplasty at Dr. Michael Jazayeri Plastic Surgery

Excess skin and sagging around the eyes can give you a constantly sad or tired look. It can even affect your vision if it’s severe. This extra skin can dull your bright, youthful appearance. At our practice in Santa Ana Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, lifts sagging eyelids to erase these signs of aging from around your eyes.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Renew Confidence in Your Eyes

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is designed to rejuvenate the area around your eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the eyelids. This procedure is particularly effective for those who experience drooping upper eyelids or puffy bags under the eyes, making you look tired or older than you feel. By addressing these concerns, blepharoplasty helps restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance, allowing natural beauty to shine through.

At our practice in Santa Ana Blepharoplasty is typically performed using advanced surgical techniques that minimize visible scarring and promote quicker recovery times. During the surgery, small incisions are carefully made along the natural creases of your eyelids, ensuring that any resulting scars are virtually invisible. Whether you're looking to correct functional issues like impaired vision due to sagging eyelids, or simply want to enhance your overall appearance, blepharoplasty offers a safe and effective solution with results that can last for years.

What Aesthetic Issues Does Blepharoplasty Address?

Solutions for Tired Eyes

Blepharoplasty is a solution to some of the most common signs of aging around the eyes. This surgery can help you look and feel refreshed and vibrant by addressing several aesthetic concerns, such as:

  • Drooping Upper Eyelids: As we age, the skin on our upper eyelids can sag, making us look tired or older. Blepharoplasty lifts and tightens this skin, restoring a more youthful, alert appearance.
  • Puffy Under-Eye Bags: Puffy bags under the eyes are often caused by excess fat or fluid retention, which can be difficult to reduce with lifestyle changes alone. Blepharoplasty removes or repositions this fat to smooth out the area, giving you a more rested look.
  • Excess Skin Around the Eyes: Loose skin around the eyes can create wrinkles and folds, contributing to a worn-out appearance. By removing this excess skin, blepharoplasty smooths and rejuvenates the eye area.
  • Impaired Vision from Sagging Skin: In some cases, sagging upper eyelids can even obstruct your vision. Blepharoplasty can correct this issue, improving both your appearance and your ability to see clearly.

This procedure offers a comprehensive approach to rejuvenating the eye area, helping you feel more confident and refreshed.

These procedures include many facelifts, liposuctions, neck lifts, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), mini tummy tuck and, in certain cases, even breast and arm lift.
