Beautiful eyes that sparkle and shine reflect inner joy and tranquility. Aging, lack of sleep, or too much time spent in the sun shows in the skin around the eyes, making the area look tired, old, and listless.

Bags or excess folds under the eyes can limit facial expression. In extreme cases, folds and pouches of the eyelids can cause visual impairment. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) restructures the skin and tissue around the eyes, enhancing natural contours and restoring the face's youthful expression.

Eyelid Surgery at a Glance

About Eyelid Surgery:

By removing excess skin and fat on the upper and lower eyelids, Blepharoplasty can help eliminate:

• Saggy eyelids
• Pouches beneath the eyes
• Excess folds around the eyes

Following natural lines and creases, Dr. Schafer makes very fine incisions from the inner to the outer edge of the eyelid in the fold of the upper eyelid. On the lower lid, an incision is made below the eyelash or in the conjunctive (pink lining of the inner eyelid). Excess fat and skin are then removed. The amount to be excised is determined by the degree of protrusion of fat when pressure is gently applied.

Small sutures are used to close the incision.
