Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Orange County

Information on eyelid surgery in Orange County, California.

Eyelid surgery aims to rejuvenate the eye by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. The surgery can transform tired appearing, baggy, poorly defined eyes into crisper, more youthful appearing eyes. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.

The Procedure

The upper eyelid incision is well camouflaged in the natural fold and contour of the upper eyelid through which excess fat, skin, and muscle may be removed. The procedure is approximately one hour in length and is performed as an outpatient in an accredited surgery center.

The lower eyelid incision is well concealed in the lash line of the lower eyelid through which excess fat, skin, and muscle are removed. In addition, a lax lower lid can be tightened through this incision. If you only need to have excess fat removed, this can be performed through an incision along the inside of the eyelid without an external incision. The procedure is one hour in length and is performed as an outpatient in an accredited surgery center.

Who is a Candidate?

The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are both physically and psychologically healthy, and realistic in their expectations. Most are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may elect to have eyelid surgery at a younger age.
