Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty

Serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

For many people, the eyes are one of the first places to show obvious signs of aging, as the upper lids begin to lose their elasticity, causing sagging and drooping; and the lower lids develop pockets of fat and loose skin, creating bags and the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Even in those as young as their thirties, sagging and drooping around the eyes can make them seem tired and significantly older.

Fortunately, modern blepharoplasty procedures (also called eyelid surgery or eyelifts) can quickly and effectively reverse these effects of the aging process, leaving patients with a fresher, younger, more alert look.

The blepharoplasty procedure can be done on the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both, depending on the patient's needs and preferences.

Upper Eyelid Lift

An upper eyelid lift is a procedure to gently lift the upper eyelid, eliminating drooping-also called ptosis-rejuvenating the appearance and even in some severe cases, improving the eyesight by eliminating the obstruction of the sagging eyelid.

Lower Eyelid Lift

A lower eyelid lift is a procedure to smooth out and tighten the lower eye area, eliminating or minimizing the appearance of bagging and loose skin.
