Eyelid surgery consistently ranks as one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among both women and men because it produces remarkable results without appearing like you’ve had “work” done. Droopy or hooded upper eyelids or sagging lower lids can create a tired or worried appearance that is transformed by eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
In this post, we showcase some of our top blepharoplasty before and after photos, which highlight the types of results you can expect if you’re considering eyelid surgery.
Sagging upper eyelids can change the appearance of the eyes, making them look droopy, sad, and tired. Both of these women are excellent examples of how upper eyelid surgery can open up the eyes, creating a brighter, more youthful appearance.
I recommended lower eyelid surgery for this 37-year-old woman from Gilbert, AZ. She believed her face and eyes made her appear tired, and she wanted a solution that was longer-lasting than filler injections. I removed fat from the lower eyelid and injected fat from her abdomen into her cheeks.
Dr. Marks combined upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer to the face to create natural-looking results that enhanced the patient’s youthful features. The photos, which show the patient before and 2 months after the procedure, showcase her smoother, more refreshed appearance.
As mentioned earlier, eyelid surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure for men because there is little sign that the patient underwent plastic surgery. Upper and lower blepharoplasty shaved several years off the appearance of this 56-year-old patient in a way that looks completely natural.
Eyelid surgery can also benefit younger patients. This 37-year-old Mesa, AZ, resident was unhappy with her lower eyelid bags and felt they made her look much older. I spent time discussing filler treatments compared to a lower blepharoplasty. I felt a lower blepharoplasty through a transconjunctival incision would allow for lower eyelid fat removal and re-draping the fat over the cheekbone to smooth the transition between the cheeks and eyelids. She returned to work within a week of her surgery. In our earlier blog post, you can learn more about what to expect during recovery following eyelid surgery.
I performed upper eyelid surgery using just a local anesthetic for this 42-year-old patient. I removed excess skin and muscle to create a more youthful appearance. The patient reported that her recovery involved minimal discomfort.
Hooded upper eyelids are a common concern for men. This condition is often inherited and can create an unhappy appearance even when the person feels content. This patient appears much more relaxed after having an upper blepharoplasty.
