Blepharoplasty

Refresh and rejuvenate the eyes by removing excess skin and fat for a more alert, youthful appearance

Overview

Rejuvenate Your Eyes

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a delicate procedure that addresses aging changes around the eyes. Dr. Michael C. Glafkides performs both upper and lower eyelid surgery to remove excess skin, reduce puffiness, and eliminate under-eye bags for a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

With 35 years of surgical experience, Dr. Michael C. Glafkides understands the importance of maintaining natural eye shape and expression. His refined technique creates subtle yet transformative results that make you look well-rested and rejuvenated without appearing "done."

The eyes are often the first area to show signs of aging, and blepharoplasty is one of the most effective procedures to restore a bright, alert appearance. Many patients find that eyelid surgery not only improves their appearance but also enhances their peripheral vision by removing overhanging skin.
